Our Products

"What is the difference between handcrafted and non-handcrafted goods?"

Our products are made by several global partners. All products advertised as 'Handcrafted', 'Handforged' and 'Handcarved' are handmade per order by individual craftsmen. Other products are factory made and stocked in our warehouse. Regardless of the production method, all of our products are selected and regularly checked for quality, and should meet all of your expectations in their look and presentation.

"What are handcrafted goods and where are they made?"

All products advertised as 'Handcrafted', 'Handforged' and 'Handcarved' are handmade per order by skilled artisans in various workshops situated in Kyiv, Ukraine. Despite the ongoing conflict in the eastern regions of Ukraine, all civilian industries remain operational, and there have been no shipping disruptions since the conflict's onset in February 2022. With a vast array of designs, these products are typically individually crafted upon order and dispatched directly from the workshop.

"Can your handcrafted jewelry be customized?"

Certainly, most of our handmade products offer extensive customization options. Whether you seek basic modifications like custom ring sizes or ring engravings or more intricate custom designs, our skilled artisans are capable to fulfil your specific requests.

"Where is your stocked jewelry made and can it be customized?"

We provide a diverse range of budget-friendly jewelry options for our customers. Most jewelry stocked at our warehouse is factory made in the Asia region by several small manufacturers specifically equipped for production of this jewelry type. We ensure that mega-factories are not involved in the manufacturing process, and all jewelry manufacturers undergo strict quality control measures. Our stocked products cannot be customized, and will arrive only in options available on the product page.
