In regards to personal charms that customers feel comfortable mailing to Maggie to incorporate into their custom necklace, please send them via UPS with a “signature required” upon arrival to ensure safe delivery. Customers may also want to explore insuring those items with UPS or their preferred delivery service. Maggie Jewelry is not responsible for any charms that are lost in transit via your preferred delivery service.
We accept credit / deibt card payments and PayPal via our online store, and we offer a small discount if you choose to pay via check or cash.
Due to the valuable nature of our products, we prefer local drop off / pickup of your finished custom charm necklaces when possible. Maggie will coordinate with the customer to ensure safe and effective delivery. However, we realize this isn't always an option. If it needs to be sent via delivery service, we will ship with tracking and insurance covering the total cost of the necklace.
When we receive a valid warranty claim for a product purchased from us, we will either repair the relevant defect or replace the product as best we can. If we are unable to repair or replace the product within a reasonable time, the customer will be entitled to a refund of any defective products. We will pay for shipment of repaired or replaced products to customer and customer will be responsible for return shipment of the product to us.
We are a very small operation of one. Our customer service person is also our owner, jewelry designer, fulfillment team, and CEO Maggie Guerry. To reach Maggie, please email her at maggie@shopmaggiejewelry.com.
For any custom charm necklaces orders cancelled before the consultation call with Maggie, we will refund the customer their deposit minus any fees incurred in the transactions. After the consultation call and once Maggie has begun work on the necklace, the deposit is no longer refundable, however we will try to work with all customers to find a fair and equitable solution to any issues. Once the necklace is delivered either by hand or by delivery service to the client, all sales are final.
You agree to receive from time to time promotional messages and materials from us, by mail, email or any other contact form you may provide us with (including your phone number for calls or text messages). If you don't want to receive such promotional materials or notices – please just notify us at any time.
Scouts honor, this is my most frequently asked question. The short answer is “no”! While most of Maggie’s custom pieces include 15-20 charms, they are surprisingly light and comfortable for everyday wear.
Our custom charm necklaces start at $900 with a $475 deposit required to move into the design phase. Final pricing will depend on the final customized piece.
These pieces of wearable art take time to build, so we like to make sure we don't take on too many at once. We will release "spots" monthly, and once the deposit for each spot is received, they are sold out for the month. Be sure to follow our Instagram account for all news and announcements about future spot drops!
Sourcing and using these wearable pieces of art can take up to 8-12 weeks depending on many factors. Maggie will be in touch as needed and is always available for questions during this time. Rush options available upon request.
Absolutely! And in fact, Maggie loves and encourages clients to include pieces they already own as this enhances the individuality and magic to the piece!
The paperclip chain is 14k gold fill as are the jump rings used on the necklace. These can last a lifetime if properly cared for! The charms however can be truly made of anything - 14k, gold fill, silver, and who knows what else the estate and other vintage pieces are made of- but the materials of the charms truly depends on the style and “look” we are trying to achieve!
Maggie cleans regularly with a jewelry cloth weekly.
While it is made of high quality metals that won't turn your skin green, your necklace is a work of art! Please remember to carefully remove your piece before you plunge!
No worries! Send an email to charmed@shopmaggiejewelry.com and we'll send over the link expeditiously.
