Behind the Scenes:  Thank you for visiting Meltdown Studio Jewelry.  When you place your order with meltdownstudiojewelry.com, your order is processed personally by Lauren Tobey.  Every piece of jewelry is hand crafted from start to finish in her Albuquerque, NM studio, in the United States of America.  Both inspiration and materials are found locally, and Lauren works meticulously to maintain a reputation of impeccable craftsmanship and outstanding customer service.  If you are dissatisfied in any way with your product or the interactions you have with Meltdown Studio Jewelry, please allow us the opportunity to make it right. 

Return/Exchange policy:  If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, we will offer an exchange for store credit to use towards a future purchase within 15 days of original delivery. Exchanged items must be unworn and in original condition or the exchange will not be available.  The quality of each outgoing piece is carefully monitored.  If a piece arrives damaged because of a technical failure on our part, a full refund will be offered.  Otherwise, refunds are not available.    

Shipping Schedule:  Orders are processed daily.  In-stock items will be shipped immediately. Out of stock items or larger orders may take up to two weeks to fabricate.  Every component is cast and fabricated at Meltdown Studio, and some pieces take longer than others.  If your order is needed by a certain date, please specify this and we'll do our very best to make it happen.
