Delivery
Processing time
In general, this is how long it takes to make each type of jewellery:
- 1-2 weeks for beaded jewellery (Tiny Flowers).
- 4-6 weeks for made-to-order gold jewellery.
- 6-8 weeks for bespoke jewellery.
The processing time varies depending on the number of orders I have at a time, but I will always do my best to surprise you with the earliest possible delivery :)
Orders that contain items with different processing times will ship once all of the items are ready.

Shipments to the US may experience customs delays. If you need your order to arrive by a specific date, please see my policy below on Holiday and gift delivery.
Orders over $2500 USD require the purchaser to submit extra forms to the US customs office. If extra customs forms are necessary for your order, I will contact you by email with more information.

Customs, duties, and import taxes
For international orders (outside of Canada), you will likely have to pay additional fees to receive your package. Please note these fees are not paid to me, but to the institutions that process your package.
Here's how the fees work:
- Duties and import taxes are paid to your government. The amount is decided by the customs office of your country at the time that the package crosses the border.
- Customs clearance fees are paid to the shipping company. I use companies such as FedEx or DHL to carry orders over $1000 CAD. The fees are used to help your parcel go through customs as smoothly as possible.
