North Wind Home Collection, Homer Alaska
Thistles on Libbie, Richmond Virginia
The Blue Print Gallery, Dallas Texas
When can I expect to receive my jewelry?
We aim to get your order out the door within two business days of receiving it. At that point the package takes 2-5 days to get you through USPS. We would be happy to accommodate rush shipping when we are able-hey we love pulling off a good last-minute surprise! Just please contact us prior to ordering to be sure we can accommodate the rush order.
What font do you use for your pieces?
Each piece is made using the handwriting of our founder, Leah Jones. This means you will never find an item with this font again! The act of writing out the quote before it is transferred on to the metal adds an element of connectedness between our jewelry and our customer, which is always what we strive for!
What metal are your products made from?
We specify what kind of metal is used on every product description. Items on our site are made with either sterling silver or 14k gold filled. (You can read more about 14k gold filled below.) We can certainly make pieces in other fine metals as a custom order.
Where does the name Dear Jane come from?
Dear Jane comes from a combination of concepts. First, our pieces hold sentiment from classic literature by either the written word or the hint of design from literature (for example, Art Deco is reminiscent of the time period The Great Gatsby was set in). Jane Austen, though her novels were few in number, is arguably one of the greatest female novelist to date and our business name pays homage to her. Second, each of our pieces is meant to be something that is cherished and held very dear to you.
Do you ship internationally?
We are happy to ship internationally, but please note that we declare the actual value on the customs form and we cannot guarantee a specific delivery time frame, as international orders have to go through customs. Please note we cannot be responsible for any additional fees or service charges incurred by customs or your chosen mail carrier, as each destination is different.
Are your chains sturdy?
We offer a high-quality chain with your purchase. Occasionally chains will break unexpectedly and we are able to replace the chain for up to 2 weeks after your purchase , given the damage was not caused by anything explainable. Unfortunately eventually chains break and if you've got young kids or you are active, we recommend you wear your jewelry with caution.
What is your shipping address?
For privacy reasons we don't publish our physical address.
Do you accept custom orders?
We do! We do not offer a place to purchase custom pieces directly from our site but we would love to hear from you via email if you are interested in talking more.
What is your return policy?
We want you to LOVE your piece. Please contact us if there is a problem and we will do everything we can to fix it.
