DIRECT QUESTIONS TO: info@seaworthypdx.com
HOW LONG WILL MY ORDER TAKE TO SHIP?
Ready to ship or in-stock items ship within 7 days. Everything else is made-to-order and ships within 3 to 4 weeks. All custom items take 5 to 6 weeks. If you need it sooner, please email us before placing your order.
Seaworthy is not responsible for items that are lost, stolen or damaged during shipping. Please choose the most secure shipping method if you are worried about this. We suggest Priority, Signature Required.
WHAT METALS DO YOU USE?
Each piece will state the metals used in the product description. We use solid metals; brass, bronze, sterling silver and gold (10k and 14k), and we do not plate our pieces. Solid metals can be polished, cleaned and repaired at any time, giving our pieces the best chance of standing the test of time.
All of our ear wires, posts and chains are either gold-fill, sterling silver or solid gold.
HOW DO I CARE FOR MY JEWELRY?
Please take care of your jewelry by keeping it clean and away from water, soaps and lotions. Store your pieces in a dry location - preferably in the bag we send with your piece. If the piece gets something on it, wipe clean immediately. We sell Sunshine All Metal polish cloths which can be used to clean and polish a variety of metals. You can polish your brass pieces up to a high glossy shine or allow them to darken and age. It's up to you.
DO YOU ACCEPT RETURNS?
We accept exchanges and returns for store credit within 14 days. All items must be unused and undamaged and be returned with all the original packaging. Please visit this page to begin the return process.
