Shipping, Policies & FAQ

Welcome to Black Umbrella Jewelry. All my handmade items are made by me in my home workshop using sterling silver, fine silver, copper and a collection of high quality turquoise and stones that I’ve collected over the years. All my listings offer thorough descriptions, including size, dimensions and materials used, so that you can make an informed purchase. For additional questions or concerns, please send me a message or email me at blackumbrellajewelry@gmail.com. You can also find me on Instagram at Black.Umbrella.Jewelry.

** Please take care not to bathe, immerse in water or engage in strenuous activity or exercise with any of my pieces. Handmade jewelry is delicate, especially pieces containing stones.

Some of my jewelry pieces have a patina. I put a thin layer wax on all my pieces to help preserve this patina however, oxygen and everyone's chemistry and oils are different and each piece will age differently depending on the individual. If you want to delay the change in patina of your piece, I suggest storing them in a tightly sealed plastic bag.

Refunds and Exchanges

I do not offer refunds on merchandise. If you receive an item and are unhappy with it, please contact me and I will do my best to come up with a solution that will work for both of us. Please know your ring size before ordering and please look at all listing photos and item descriptions thoroughly. I do not issue refunds because a ring size was chosen by mistake or because of buyer's remorse. All sale items are final sale.
