          1. COVID-19 INFLUENCE: Why haven’t I received the package within 10 business days?
          • Since we work with talents and artisans from different countries, usually the jewelry will experience international shipment.

            1. Why can't I track my package?

                      PRODUCT CARE &MATERIAL
                        1. What is the jewelry made of?
                        • Most of our products are Gold Vermeil. Compared to regular gold plating, gold vermeil is a much thicker layered gold, with 925 sterling silver (92.5% purity of silver) or high-quality brass as the base metal. It finds a perfect balance between affordability and quality.
                          1. Will the Jewelry change color or tarnish?
                          • We use high quality Gold Vermeil to manufacture S.A.N.D. jewelry, therefore it does require some care to avoid discolor and tarnishing. A little love goes a long way!

                          1) Avoid chemicals

                          2) Do not wear during excessive exercise, swimming or showering

                          3) Use dry cloth to clean your jewelry.

                          If you follow our instruction, your jewelry will be perfectly fine and able to sustain for a long time!

                          1. How do I take care of my jewelry?
                          • When not wearing your jewelry, please store it in the pouch it came in and also follow the above instructions.
                          1. What do I do if my jewelry is defective, or I received the wrong order?

                            1. Can I get my jewelry fixed or reworked by an outside jeweler? Does SAND offer repair or resizing services?
                            • We don't recommend having our products worked on by outside jewelers as this voids any potential for refund or replacement (should a defect develop due to their work). This includes resizing or any type of repair work.
                            • We actually do not offer any repair or resizing service. If you have any concern regarding your S.A.N.D. jewelry, please do not hesitate to send your inquiry to sand.main@outlook.com, and our customer service team will do their best to resolve the issue.

                                • Though we do not offer additional wrapping or gifting card, our packaging includes a classic transparent S.A.N.D. logoed PVC pack and a sand-colored dust bag. Each piece together with its original packaging will serve as a beautiful and classy gift in most occasions.
