Purchasing - Shipping and Insurance

The Three Graces will make every effort to get your purchases to you when you need them. All shipping and insurance costs (unless otherwise notified) are paid for by the buyer. We ship Monday through Friday and send around the world and can use a variety of methods to suit your needs. All jewelry comes in a beautiful gift box tied with ribbon.

For U.S. Locations

Our preferred method of shipping is via UPS two-day delivery. A physical address is required, as is a phone number. An adult over the age of 18 must be available to sign for the delivery. If this does not suit your needs, we can ship U.S. Postal Service registered mail. Pricing is the same. Please ask us for a quote for purchases not listed here.

Lost or Damaged Items

We pack your purchases with great care. In the rare instance that items are lost or damaged in transport please and contact us immediately and keep all packing if damaged.

If UPS or Federal Express was the method of delivery, we will contact our private insurance carrier to expedite your claim. If transported using "registered mail", through the U.S. Postal Service, claims are processed through those offices. The Three Graces will assist you in handling your claim and obtaining reimbursement but is not liable for the claim. The U.S. Postal Service or their agents are entirely responsible for the claim.
