Get to Know Carnegiea gigantea

Across an arid expanse of hard Southwestern sands, rocky hills, and rugged mountains emerges an amazing desert forest of some half a billion massive columnar cacti. This is the 120,000-square-mile Sonoran Desert and its most famous inhabitant: the remarkable Saguaro Cactus, Carnegiea gigantea — the monarch of the Sonoran Desert. Fourteenth century Spanish explorers first encountered Saguaros near present day Tucson, AZ, describing the region as “the land of the marching giants.”

 

To this day, when people around the world think “cactus,” they are likely imagining the imposing, almost human-like form of the Saguaro [Pronounced: suh-wah-row]. This is north America’s largest cactus, and its iconic silhouette, immortalized in art, cinema, and popular culture, is famous the world-over. The Saguaro, universal symbol of the American West, is said to be the most photographed plant on earth.

Sterling Silver Jewelry Care

Sterling silver is durable and ideal for everyday wear, but it can naturally tarnish over time—especially when exposed to moisture or sweat. To help maintain its shine, I recommend removing your jewelry before swimming or exercising. The natural oils from your skin can actually help slow down tarnishing, so wearing your piece regularly is encouraged. When not being worn, store your jewelry in a dry, airtight container to limit exposure to air and humidity. To clean, gently polish with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. With a little care, your sterling silver jewelry will stay beautiful for years to come.

Return & Resizing Policy

Please note that returns are not accepted due to incorrect sizing. I kindly ask that you confirm your ring size prior to placing your order. As each item is handmade, slight variations are to be expected. However, if there is an issue with your order beyond normal handmade differences, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Resizing Information: Some rings can be sized up by 1/4  size. Unfortunately, sizing down is not possible. Any resizing requests will require the purchaser to cover the cost of return shipping. Thank you for your understanding and support!

Shipping Policy

Flat Rate Ground Shipping of $6 on all orders.(**Priority $12.50 option) Free Shipping on orders over $200. All orders are shipped via USPS and include a tracking number and insurance coverage. I take great care in packaging your jewelry to ensure it arrives safely and securely. Once your order has shipped, you will receive a confirmation email with tracking information. If you have any questions about shipping or insurance, feel free to reach out!

Stone Policy

Stone durability varies by stone type. Turquoise is a relatively soft stone, with a Mohs rating of 5-6. Agates, including petrified wood, are harder, around a 7. For reference, Diamonds are rated a 10 and are the hardest.  I create my pieces using natural stones, checking them over with 3-4x magnification in the process for hairline cracks and potential issues. I do everything I can to prevent a piece being made with an issue and inspect the rings prior to shipping.  If you feel your stone has a crack or issue, please reach out within 24 hours of receiving the item. Beyond this point I will not be able to honor returns due to stone issues that might have been sustained outside of my possession.  However, if you break/crack your stone and would like it repaired email me. Stone replacement, repair costs, and shipping will be estimated and communicated with you for approval and repair. Thank you for your understanding.
