Is it real gold/silver?

Well, yes and no. All our jewelry is dipped in gold/silver and that ranges from 18k to 24k. The rest is made from mixed metals. But that's why we got the affordable pricing.

When is my shirt/sweater/hat/phone case getting delivered?

Our shirts, sweaters, hats and phone cases are all printed after you order and shipped out from a different location. This means sometimes you might get your order separately if you ordered one of the above and, let's say, a jewelry set too. Don't worry, your order is coming to you, just from different locations. :)

What sizes can I get the dresses?

You can view the different sizes for our clothing here: Sizing Guide

How should I take care of my jewelry?

For starters, keep it in a dry place. Do not shower or get any water on them. If you do just get a cloth and dry it off immediately.

Take care of it and it will take care of you. :)

What is our return policy?

All sales are final and there are no refunds. But if you want, we can always exchange for you.
