Orders containing more than one item from a single NOVICA region will be shipped once all items from that region are ready for shipment, unless otherwise specified at the time you place your order.

Do you ship to PO Box Addresses?

Yes, in many cases we are able to ship to a PO Box. Most orders with Normal shipping can ship to a PO Box, whereas orders with Expedited or Express service typically require a physical address, as those orders will be delivered by UPS, DHL, FedEx or a similar courier. We will alert you during the checkout process if one or more of the items in your order will require a physical address, based on your selection of shipping service.

What about APO/FPO/DPO addresses?

Yes, in many cases we are able to ship to APO/FPO/DPO addresses. Most orders with Normal Shipping can ship to such an address. We will alert you during the checkout process if one or more of the items in your order is not eligible for delivery to the APO/FPO/DPO address provided. Please note that expedited delivery services are not available for APO/FPO/DPO addresses, and that actual delivery time may exceed the timeframe quoted for some overseas destinations.

  3. A move or sudden change of address results in therefusal or non-delivery of an order

A few of the country-specific import restrictions known to affect items sold at NOVICA include, but are not limited to: (a) all jewelry items being shipped to India or France (for France, only the Standard service can be used for jewelry items); (b) all items being shipped to Australia or New Zealand that contain natural fibers (including bamboo, coconut, straw, and cane), potpourri, or animal parts (including hide, bone, and horn). NOVICA cannot be held responsible for any items quarantined, destroyed or otherwise not delivered as a result of an import restriction in any country other than the USA. For information on possible duty/tax on orders shipped to a country other than the US, please click here.

Please note a $15.00 fee (per package) will be assessed forall shipments that are re-routed or returned to NOVICA by thecarrier. This fee is separate from the re-shipping fee, whichis required before packages can be re-shipped.

Will I have to pay taxes and duties on my order?

NOVICA will cover all duties and import taxes for customers in the United States.

Orders being shipped to addresses outside of the United States may require the recipient to pay duties upon delivery, depending on the shipping service that has been selected. During the checkout process, customers will be shown the available shipping services for their country for the specific item(s) being ordered. Each service option will clearly indicate if duty and tax will be due at the time of delivery, or if it will be pre-collected by NOVICA at the time of purchase -- in which case no further payment will be due for duty or tax once the order has been submitted. For gifts and for orders being sent to a country other than your country of residence, we strongly recommend that you select a shipping service with all duty and tax paid in advance to prevent any delays in delivery or inconvenience to the recipient.

Customers outside the United States who select a shipping service with duty and tax due at the time of delivery are encouraged to contact their local courier or customs bureau to inquire about possible import taxes and fees. NOVICA cannot be held responsible for import charges imposed by the courier and/or the local government on orders delivered to countries other than the United States. Please note that while we will declare orders containing a gift message as "Gifts" on the Customs declaration, we cannot honor any requests to alter the declared value for an order.

When should I order to guarantee delivery on or before Mother's Day?

This varies according to the region from which you are purchasing, and the shipping service you select.

How do I tell which items are guaranteed to arrive on or before Mother's Day?

We mark every item that is guaranteed for delivery on or before Mother's Day with a bow. Items marked with a red bow are guaranteed with Normal Shipping option whereas items marked with a blue bow are guaranteed with premium shipping only. If an item on the web site is not marked with a bow, it is not guaranteed for delivery on or before Mother's Day.

Will I receive items marked "coming back" on or before Mother's Day?

Although most backorders are fulfilled within 2 to 8 weeks, and we make every effort to get your order out to you as soon as possible, there are occasionally circumstances beyond our control that may result in a longer delivery time frame. You can always contact NOVICA Customer Service to inquire about the current status of your order.

Will my order be delayed if it includes a back-ordered item?

As we cannot guarantee a pre-Mother's Day delivery for back-ordered items, we advise that you do not include them in the same order as items you want guaranteed for delivery on or before Mother's Day.

Will my order be delayed if it includes items without the red bow?

If your order contains items that are no longer showing a red or blue bow... then these items (provided they are not back-ordered items) will not delay the timely delivery of items that ARE marked with a red or blue bow at the time you place the order. In this case, your order will arrive in separate packages on separate days.

What happens if an item marked with a red or blue bow arrives after Mother's Day?

In the unlikely event that we fail to deliver a guaranteed order on or before Mother's Day, we will refund the shipping costs associated with that portion of the order and provide you with a NOVICA gift certificate with a minimum value of $10.00 and a maximum value of 25% of the order total or $50.00, whichever is less. Please allow 5 to 10 business days for issuance of the credit and gift certificate. All requests related to compensation for delivery guarantee failure must be made within 2 weeks after the guaranteed delivery date either by submitting a request here or by phone at 1-877-2-NOVICA (1-877-266-8422).

My order was placed well before Mother's Day - will it arrive before then?

Depending on the shipping service you selected, and the day on which you placed your order, it is very possible that your items will arrive well before Mother's Day if you have ordered in advance of the shipping cut-off date for your items.

Will the item I ordered be gift-wrapped?

Many gift items come with free gift wrapping. We indicate on the item detail page (the page where the add to cart button shows) if an item comes with free gift wrapping. You can also select your gift wrap option in checkout.

What's the difference between free gift wrap and premium gift wrap?

Our free gift wrap option is perfectly fine for that casual gift. But if you really want to 'wow' the recipient with an exquisite, memorable gift presentation, we advise you to select the premium gift wrap option.

I placed an order with Normal Shipping - Can I expedite it?

If you have not yet received an email notification that your order has been shipped, it may still be possible to change the shipping service on your order. Please call NOVICA Customer Service at 877-266-8422 (210-890-4217 if calling internationally) any time Mon-Fri between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Central time to speak to a representative.

How do I know the jewelry is real sterling silver? Is it marked?

Our sterling jewelry will either have the "925" stamp on it, or a small dumbbell sticker attached that has "925" on it (for pieces that would be difficult to stamp). We also test our artisans' jewelry periodically to ensure that it is at least 92.5% silver.

Your website says the gemstone is "enhanced". What does that mean?

Many gemstones are enhanced, most commonly to improve their color and/or clarity. Enhancement methods may include heat treatment, dyeing, bleaching, and oiling or waxing the stone. However, a stone enhancement will not affect your use or enjoyment of the jewelry in any way. Gemstones that are almost always enhanced: amethyst, citrine, blue topaz, ruby, lapis lazuli, chalcedony, and emerald. Gemstones that are never or very rarely enhanced: Guatemalan jade, garnet, peridot, unakite, rhodonite, hematite, chrysocolla, labradorite, rainbow moonstone.

Why did my sterling silver ring/bracelet turn my finger/wrist green? I thought it was genuine sterling?

The discoloration described can occur naturally for a couple of reasons. It may be that your body has a reaction to either silver or one of the other metals in the sterling alloy; it could also be that the silver is reacting with something on your hands, such as body lotion, perfume, cleaning products, etc. The discoloration is not an indication that the item is less than 92.5% silver.

My sterling silver jewelry is now black and dirty looking. Can this be removed?

Yes! Tarnish is a natural phenomenon that occurs with sterling silver (in fact, it is proof that your item is made of genuine silver!), but it can easily be removed. We recommend that you use a silver jewelry polishing cloth, which can be obtained from a jeweler and from some department and drug stores. Another option is a non-abrasive silver polishing paste, such as Wright's. Do not under any circumstances use a liquid jewelry cleaning "dip", as they can damage silver.

To slow tarnish, keep your jewelry in a dry location, and avoid getting it wet by removing it while swimming, bathing or washing dishes.

My ring does not fit / you do not offer my ring size; can the ring be resized?

That depends on the style of the ring. If a ring does not have gemstones or inlaid decoration on the band or has gemstones set only in a crown atop the ring, the band can easily be resized. Most jewelers will set a limit on the number of ring sizes increased or decreased in order to preserve the jewelry design. Ring sizing on many gemstone and diamond rings can also be altered, but the process depends on the style of the ring and the skill of the jeweler. Sometimes, a jeweler can resize a ring by two sizes but usually not more without resetting the stones. It is not recommended that a ring be adjusted by more than one or two full sizes. Rings with designs that encircle the entire shank cannot be resized.

A sterling silver ring can only be resized once, or the integrity of the metal is compromised. Also, please note that a ring cannot be returned to NOVICA if it has been resized or modified in any way.

The description on this piece of jewelry says "combination finish". What does that mean?

We provide information regarding the type of finish on any jewelry that contains precious metal. For example, a sterling silver ring could have a high-polish finish, or a hammered finish, or any of several finishes.

When a piece of jewelry features more than one kind of finish, we call that a "combination finish". For example, if a ring featured areas that were deliberately oxidized (blackened) as well as highly polished areas, that would be a combination finish. Or, if a pair of earrings had parts that were hammered silver and parts that were brushed/satin silver, that would also be considered a combination finish.

How do I/you know your gemstones are genuine? Do they come with any certification that they are real?

While we cannot test every single piece of jewelry that passes through our hands, we do regularly and randomly have our artisans' gemstones tested at accredited gem laboratories to ensure that they are genuine. We do not provide any formal certification of authenticity, but rest assured that NOVICA stands by its products and is committed to your complete satisfaction.

A buckle belt measurement is take from the end of the "pin" of the buckle to the middle hole on the belt. Generally there are 5 holes for size adjustment, with a 1" space between each, so the middle hole will the be average size of the belt.
