(Questions and Answers)
Q: IS PRIORITY SHIPPING MY ONLY OPTION?
A: No, although we do mainly ship Priority Mail with
Delivery Confirmation and Insurance.
(Delivery Confirmation and insurance up to $100.00 is included with Priority
Shipping).
Insurance over $100.01 will be an additional charge at the same rate as the post
office charges us.
First Class: We also offer First Class shipping at the request of the
buyer.
Jewelry items are shipped in a sturdy cardboard jewelry box placed inside a
thick padded envelope. Delivery Confirmation is automatically included at no
additional charge. Insurance will be the responsibility of the buyer. If you
prefer First Class Shipping, Please let us know before you check out, so we can
recalculate shipping charges and email you a revised invoice.

are shipped via UPS (Depending on weight, size and destination)
Federal Express and Over Night shipping are available upon request. (An
