Policies and Care for Caitlin Cimino, LLC (“Earth of PRINI")

We are grateful for your interest in purchasing an Earth of PRINI adornment and hope you will be absolutely thrilled with your purchase. For your own benefit, please read the following policies carefully prior to purchasing.

CARING FOR YOUR JEWELRY

Earth of PRINI jewelry is fine art in the form of adornments. We encourage you to care for your piece of jewelry as you would an art piece, and to consider the environment before wearing it.

  • Gently wipe your jewelry with a soft jeweler's polishing cloth or a soft damp cloth to clean it.
  • Never use chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners to clean your jewelry, as this may alter the finish or damage the gemstones.
  • Earth of PRINI jewelry is made with natural gemstones and materials that oftentimes have not been chemically treated, so they may be delicate. Handle your jewelry with care.
  • Do not immerse your jewelry in water or expose it to prolonged heat, moisture, or water.
  • Avoid bringing your jewelry into contact with the ocean or a pool.
  • Earth of PRINI is not responsible for any distortion to jewelry, damage to gemstones, or skin contact irritations that may occur over time.
  • Limited Collection, Gold Plated Jewelry: To maintain the radiance of your gold-plated jewelry, please avoid exposure to water, heat, perfumes, and lotions when possible. Over time, as the gold plating naturally softens—particularly on rings that rest close to the skin—hints of the silver beneath may begin to emerge, this is to be expected. This gentle transformation adds to the character of each piece, creating a unique patina that reflects its journey with you.
  • Each Herkimer gemstone is a treasure shaped by the Earth’s hands, with its natural facets formed deep within. Because these stones are left in their natural state, you may notice slight imperfections in the faceting. These small marks are a testament to their journey, much like our own human imperfections—they add character and uniqueness to the stone's beauty. Wear your Herkimer gemstone with pride, knowing that its one-of-a-kind nature mirrors the individuality we all carry.

RETURNS AND REPAIRS

  • RETURN POLICY: Earth of PRINI is a small business that specializes in handmade jewelry. Because each piece is made to order, all sales are final. We appreciate your understanding and support.
  • REPAIRS: For all repair inquiries, please email love@earthofprini.com. Please include your name, description of damage, photo of the damage, and proof of purchase. If we are able to repair your jewelry you will be sent shipping instructions. You will be responsible for shipping the item back with tracking and insurance. Earth of PRINI will not be responsible for mailing issues. Repairs take up to 8 weeks to complete depending on the complexity of the repair unless otherwise stated. All repairs are subject to shipping charges and fees. Earth of PRINI reserves the right to deny unreasonable repairs as well as repairs due to negligence.
    Note: If you chip or break a stone, having jewelry insurance will not just pay for a replacement, but it will also cover any needed repair / gemstone replacement.
