RETURNS + EXCHANGES

What’s your return/exchange policy?

Estate pieces and un-altered pieces from our custom line can be returned (unworn) within 10 days of delivery for an exchange or refund minus the cost of shipping. Made-to-order pieces, including rings created in your size, pieces altered in any way at your request, special orders and all other custom work, are FINAL SALE — no refunds, no exchanges. Once a piece has been altered, including ring re-sizing, it is also FINAL SALE. If you have any questions about your specific item's return policies, please email us before purchasing.

Shipping costs will be deducted from the original cost of the iten and all costs for return shipment are the responsibility of the customer. Returns are not accepted after 10 days from receipt at your shipping address.

To return an item, please email us within 10 days of receipt to obtain permission to begin the return process. Then please ship it via insured, registered US Mail or insured UPS within 3 business days to the address below:

Elements Studio Inc.
Attn: Returns/exchanges
1631 University Blvd.
Jacksonville, FL 32217

Upon receipt of the shipment, we will email you confirmation that the refund or credit has been issued.

How do I mail back a return?

Email us first to determine that your piece is, in fact, returnable. Once you get the go-ahead, use a padded envelope, box, Tyvek Fedex envelope, or a combination of these. Don’t put loose jewelry in a paper envelope: it will almost certainly tear through the paper and get lost in the mail system. Mail the package to us via USPS Registered Mail or insured UPS to:

Elements Studio Inc.
Attn: Returns/exchanges
1631 University Blvd.
Jacksonville, FL 32217

Please enclose a printed copy of your emailed receipt or a record of purchase that includes your order number.

REPAIRS + CARE

Estate jewelry is sold in as-is condition. That said, we make a point to disclose any minor flaws or potential problems with wearability in each of our product descriptions. All of our estate jewels are inspected, cleaned, and repaired (if required) before making them available for purchase. In the unlikely event that your newly purchased antique is damaged, please email us. Repairs are assessed on a case-by-case basis; we will review the damage and possible cause with our jeweler and contact you with an estimated cost for the repair.

How should I take care of my new jewelry?

Jewelry, like all material, is susceptible to damage and requires thoughtful wear. We recommend removing all jewelry, especially rings, in situations when abnormal contact is expected. To prolong their life, remove jewels before swimming, showering, exercising and sleeping.

What’s up with re-sizing?

Most rings or necklace chains can be resized unless we say otherwise. This can usually be done multiple times over the course of a lifetime. Contact us if you want an estimate for re-sizing or altering a particular piece.
