3.0 HYGIENE & INTERNATIONAL LOGISTICS MANDATE: NO PHYSICAL RETURNS

3.1 Policy Rationale

Due to the intimate nature of jewelry as personal adornment and our global supply chain structure involving specialized artisans across three continents:

Hygiene Compliance: International health and safety regulations prohibit the resale of intimate wearable items
Quality Preservation: Jewelry cannot be restored to “new condition” after wear or handling
Logistical Complexity: International customs, duties, and certification processes make returns commercially unviable
Sustainability Commitment: Reduces carbon footprint associated with redundant shipping
