The suggested retail price (or “SRP”) is the minimum price for which retailers are permitted to sell Jewelers Garden products. Retailers may price the products in excess of the SRP, but are not permitted, under any circumstances, to sell Jewelers Garden products for less than the SRP without prior written authorization from Jewelers Garden. The Jewelers Garden SRP Pricing is equal to the full retail price present on our website at time of purchase. 

In the event that the retailer chooses to place Jewelers Garden products for sale at a discount, the retailer is not permitted to discount the pieces more than 20% below the SRP.

FABRICATION & LEAD TIME:

​Each item that leaves Jewelers Garden studio is handmade to order. Once an order is placed, please allow 2-4 weeks for production and fulfillment. However, please keep in mind that due to the nature of our small batch handmade production process, lead times may also change unexpectedly.
