What is your production time?  Orders generally take approximately 10 business days (1-2 weeks) to handcraft before they ship.*this does NOT include shipping times. Processing times will increase during the busy holiday season.

​

What shipping method do you use?  All orders are shipped via USPS First Class or Priority unless you request otherwise prior to ordering.

​

How long does International Shipping take?  Shipping times on International orders can vary from 1-4 weeks.

REFUNDS / EXCHANGES / CANCELLATIONS

Can I cancel my order?   Only if we have NOT begun processing your order. Please contact us within 24 hours of purchase, as we strive to start working on each order as we receive it.

​

What is your return policy?   We are happy to exchange your item(s) for store credit only, if you contact us within FIVE days after receiving your order. Returned items must be unworn and in resale condition. We do require you, as the buyer, pay any shipping costs.

Once we receive your items we will inspect them, and issue you an in-store credit for the purchase amount (minus shipping charges). If we made a mistake with your order of course we'd be happy to exchange it for the correct item at no additional charge to you.

LEATHER CARE

Can I get my leather wet?  No. We use high-quality full-grain vegetable tanned leather on most of our leather products. Although we seal them with a water-resistant sealant, leather is never "water proof". Our sealant does protect from everyday wear and weather changes, however, submerging your leather in water will cause it to fade, harden, or even have the acrylic paint chip off. We don't recommend swimming, bathing, or washing dishes in your leather. 

​

What do I do if my leather does get wet? If you do get it wet, simply pat it dry with a towel and allow your leather to dry naturally. Do not place it near heat. I personally love how each leather piece starts to take on it's own unique characteristics, including pieces that get some water spotting. Just wear it, have fun, and enjoy. 

​

Can I condition my leather? We don't recommend adding any type of conditioning treatment to your leather.

​

Can I apply essential oils to my Leather Cuffs and Earrings?  Yes. Simply Add 1-3 drops of your favorite essential oils to your finger first than rub it onto the backsides only. Leather naturally darkens overtime from the natural oils in your skin, so adding essential oils will facilitate this process.

 

What do the backsides of your Leather Earrings look like?  The backsides of our earrings are all left in a neutral dye color: Warm Brown, Tan, Desert Sand, or Chocolate. This assures that the backsides of your leather earrings remain breathable and natural. Plus, the backsides are more fibrous which does not allow us to add any sort of artistic design or color.

​

MISCELLANEOUS

Are your earrings lightweight? Yes! They're so lightweight you'll probably forget they're on. Each pair of earrings we offer only weighs about one ounce or less. So don't be confused on our item descriptions when you see "Leather Weight 5-6oz". Leather Weight is just a term that leather workers use to gauge the thickness of the leather hides, but has nothing to do with the literal weight of the item. I know it's confusing, but I didn't make it up. LOL! So basically when you see 5-6oz leather weight just means that the earrings you'll be purchasing are about 2-2 1/2 mm in thickness. So rest assured we choose high quality leather that's both lightweight for your cute little ears and thick enough to hold their beautiful shape. 

​

I lost one of my earrings! Can I purchase just one?  No, sorry. Leather is a natural material varying in thickness, texture, and color. Plus, since all of our earrings are individually handcrafted to create a perfect pair it is nearly impossible to match a new earring to an older pair. We recommend always wearing your rubber earring backs provided to you with your order.

​

My Necklace Chain, Earring Wires, or Bracelet Snaps broke, do you offer repairs? 

It depends. We want to make sure you can enjoy your Sweet Creek Leather jewelry as long as possible, but not all items can be repaired. Please e-mail us further details with images of the broken item(s) to SweetCreekLeather@outlook.com so we can make an evaluation. All repairs are $7 plus shipping. 

​

Do your earring wires have nickel in them?   No. All of our earrings wires are NICKEL and LEAD FREE which work well for those of you with sensitive ears. In fact many people with sensitive ears have been pleasantly surprised that our Antiqued Brass Earring Wires work even better for them than Gold or Silver. 

​

Do you offer any other color of Bracelet Snaps besides Antiqued Brass?   Yes. We have a brushed nickel snap. If you prefer brushed nickel snaps please let us know in our "notes to seller" section at time of purchase.

​

What size bracelet should I choose?  Please see our "Sizing" section located on the main menu. To choose your correct bracelet size we recommend you measure your exact wrist size without adding any extra length and order your bracelet based on your exact wrist measurement. If you still have questions contact us via e-mail SweetCreekleather@outlook.com

​

Can you personalize my items by stamping a special name, date, word, or quote?  No.

Due to the volume of orders received, Sweet Creek Leather is no longer accepting Custom requests for personalized stamped work or requests to leave personalized notes with your orders. 

​

Can you add a personal note with my order to the person I'm gifting it to?  No, sorry. Due to the high volume of orders received, Sweet Creek Leather can not add a personalized note with your order.
