You will of course be informed if this is the case before the order is dispatched with an estimated delivery date. If the items are in stock we will proceed with the delivery process, see below.

 

Contact s@stephanievanzwam.com with any queries on specific orders, and production. If you would require an item by a specific date, please email us and we will do our very best to find a solution.

Time in manufacture means a quality and beautiful piece of jewellery from limited runs, thus ensuring your individuality.

Thank you for your patience.
