Packaging & Gifts

If your purchase is a gift, you can ask me to write a note to the recipient in the “order note” area at checkout.

Your item will arrive ready for gift giving in a pretty Virginie Millefiori white glossy gift box made in the US with recycled paper and filled with cotton batting and with a Virginie Millefiori jewelry card. We do not mail a paper invoice with each order to save paper, you should have received an order confirmation email with the detail of your order. The box will be shipped in a waterproof padded mailer to protect your jewelry during transit. The bubble mailer measures approximatively 9×5 inches and is about 1 inch thick so it should fit most mail boxes.

Email communications

Once you place your order, you will receive an email confirmation including a detailed receipt. Once your order has shipped you will receive another email with tracking information. Finally you may receive an email asking you to review your order, if you decide to do so.

Wholesale

If you are a buyer interested in carrying Virginie Millefiori Jewelry in your brick and mortar or online shop, please first create a profile on the website and then send an email to info@whimsyjewelry.com including your profile email, tell us about the other brands you carry, your official retailer identification number and your location. If your store gets approved you will be granted wholesale prices and be able to shop directly from the website.

Care of the jewelry

Handle your jewelry with care and when you don’t wear it, store it in a sealed plastic bag or in the cute jewelry box you were provided with your purchase.
To keep your jewelry in the best possible condition for a very long time, avoid heat, humidity and contact with chemicals. Do not wear in the shower or while swimming and do not store it in a bathroom. If tarnishing occurs, just wipe gently with a soft cotton cloth. Sterling silver jewelry can be very efficiently cleaned with usual silverware care products unless they have enamel parts in which case only use a jeweler’s cloth to gently rub off the oxidation.

Repairs

The quality of our handcrafted jewelry and your satisfaction are essential to us. If your jewelry is in need of repair within 3 months of receipt based on normal usage, simply e-mail your concern to info@whimsyjewelry.com . When shipping the damaged piece, send us the item along with your original receipt. If charges apply we will notify you prior to beginning repair.
