Each piece of jewelry is handcrafted and made to order.
All personalized jewelry and my other jewelry pieces can take approximately 5-7 days to be made, but if in stock can be completed within 1-3 days of ordering. Please indicate if this is a rush order and I will get your order done as quickly as possible.
Your jewelry will be packaged in a beautiful cardboard matte black clamshell style jewelry box and/or a micro fibre jewelry pouch with the Orange Avocado Jewelry logo embossed on both with a zip loc baggie to reduce tarnishing. In efforts to reduce our impact on the environment you do have the option of choosing your preference for the number of boxes and jewelry pouches (0 or more). It is recommended that you receive your order in at least the pouch to protect it from the shipping process.
