I do not have images of the handwriting/fingerprint/signature/handprint or can’t upload them.

Can you combine multiple handwriting or signatures from different images?

Can you fix a spelling error or a word in my original handwritten note?
Much as possible, we refrain from doing that except in exceptional cases where very specific instructions are given. One’s handwriting reflects precious memory, and we try to not to touch it. However, if you feel that it is important to change a certain word, contact us at [email protected].
Can you engrave on the back side of the piece?

Will silver tarnish?
Please kindly understand sterling silver does get tarnished. How fast it gets tarnished depends on how you care for your jewelry and the nature of your sweat. However the good thing about silver jewelry is that when your piece shows signs of tarnishing, you can clean it with a polishing cloth or preferably a cleaning solution and it will look like new again.

I am an international customer. Why is my order shipped from Singapore and not the US?
Singapore is our transit point for all international orders as it makes it much faster for international orders to be Fedexed to, then delivered from Singapore, rather than shipped directly from the US. (This is known as drop-shipping). This helps save time and cost for buyers. We used Singapore Post as it is one of the most reliable, cost-effective post in the world as compared to USPS.
Can I upgrade my shipping to a faster one?
You can do that by emailing us to check if the item has been shipped, and purchasing our shipping upgrade here.
