Store Policy

The ongoing pandemic has caused worldwide delays in shipping. The Post Office / UPS / all shipping companies are overwhelmed with online orders and are short staffed during this world pandemic.

The Little Catholic has not been spared from these disruptions, and as a result we are experiencing significant delays in order fulfillment. We are doing our best to accurately project the timelines for all orders, but the unpredictability of the shipping times means that there is always a risk of orders being delayed beyond our control.

All orders are shipped out of North Carolina. Orders typically ship in 1-3 business days during the non Holiday season. During the Holiday Season orders Typically ship in 3-7 business Days. We are not responsible for your order arriving late. It does not matter if you choose the most expensive shipping option, it will most likely still be late. We are not responsible for your package being held at customs, as we unfortunately have no control over boards/customs in any country.

International Orders (orders shipping outside of the United States of America)
The Little Catholic is not responsible for import duties, taxes, and brokerage fees on any purchases. These charges are your responsibility. You are responsible for checking with your country’s customs office to determine if there will be additional costs.

By placing an international order (shipping outside of the United States of America), you are responsible for abiding by your country’s laws, regulations, and restrictions that may apply when placing an order with The Little Catholic. The Little Catholic is not responsible for any losses or claims that result from your order being seized and/or destroyed by customs.

Made-to-order / Custom Items
Made-to-order items and custom items are final sale. Made to order Items typically take 4-6 weeks. 

A Custom Item is any item that requires you to email our customer service a request to purchase it.

A Made-To-Order item is any item where “Made to Order” is listed on the item’s page.

Will I receive the tracking information once my exchanged item is on its way?
You should receive an e-mail notifying you when your order has been shipped. However, if you do not, please contact us, and we will provide the tracking number for you by emailing: Orders@TheLittleCatholic.com

  The Little Catholic Jewelry Warranty

  Effective for purchases made on or after November 2, 2025

  At The Little Catholic, we take pride in crafting heirloom-quality jewelry that’s handmade in America with care, reverence, and integrity. Each piece is created to last for generations — and we stand behind that promise with our Limited Warranty Program.

  Coverage Periods

  • 14k Gold Jewelry: 1-Year Limited Warranty
  • Sterling Silver & Gold Vermeil Jewelry: 1-Year Limited Warranty

  This warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship under normal use for the applicable period beginning from the original purchase date.

  What’s Covered

  If your jewelry experiences a manufacturing or material defect during the warranty period, we will, at our discretion, repair or replace the item. Examples of covered issues may include faulty soldering, defective clasps, or structural issues resulting from the production process.

  For gold vermeil jewelry, The Little Catholic offers one complimentary replating within one year of the original purchase date. After the first year, replating services are available for a fee.

  Customers are responsible for all shipping and handling costs associated with sending the item to and from The Little Catholic for evaluation and service.

  What’s Not Covered

  This warranty does not cover:

  • Loss or theft of items
  • Damage from misuse, abuse, alteration, accident, neglect, or improper care
  • Repairs or alterations performed by anyone other than The Little Catholic will void this warranty. Any work done by unauthorized persons, including resizing, polishing, cleaning, or stone resetting, may compromise the integrity of the piece and will be considered outside of this warranty coverage.
  • Damage or issues resulting from services or modifications not performed by The Little Catholic
  • This warranty is non-transferable and applies only to the original purchaser

     

    Important Notes

    • This warranty is not insurance and does not cover loss, theft, or damage outside of manufacturing defects.
    • We recommend customers purchase separate jewelry insurance if they wish to protect against loss, theft, or accidental damage.
    • Proof of purchase is required for all warranty claims.
    • The Little Catholic reserves the right to determine whether an issue is covered under warranty and to repair or replace the item at its discretion.

       

      Warranty Misuse

      The Little Catholic reserves the right to refuse or limit warranty service in cases of abuse, excessive claims, or fraudulent activity.

      Warranty coverage applies only to genuine The Little Catholic pieces that have not been altered or tampered with outside our workshop.

      We take great care to ensure each piece lasts a lifetime; in return, we ask that customers use their jewelry responsibly and follow care instructions provided at the time of purchase.

      How to Make a Warranty Claim

      1. Contact our customer service team at Orders@TheLittleCatholic.com with your order number, photos of the issue, and a brief description.
      2. Once approved, you’ll receive instructions for securely shipping your jewelry for inspection.
      3. If the issue is deemed a manufacturing defect, your jewelry will be repaired or replaced under the terms of this warranty.
      4. If the issue is not covered under warranty, we’ll provide an estimate for repair service if available.

      Our Promise

      Each Little Catholic piece is made by artisans who are paid fairly and treated with respect. When you wear our jewelry, you’re supporting ethical craftsmanship — and we’re honored to support you with quality that lasts.

     

   

Jewelry Variations
Each piece of our jewelry is handmade with the utmost care. Due to its handmade nature, each piece is unique and may have slight variations from the piece of jewelry as pictured online.

Damaged Products
If a product arrives damaged or defective, please contact us immediately so that we may issue either a store credit or send you a replacement. A photograph as proof of the damage/defect is required and must be reported within 48 hours of order delivery. Please note that each one of our jewelry pieces is handmade and unique, so something that may appear as a defect is not a defect and instead a result of each product having its own characteristics. We reserve the right to determine whether or not a defect exists based on the photograph you send in. 

Company Rights
If we feel a customer is abusing any part of our store policy, we reserve the right to no longer sell to that customer. 

Allergic Reactions and Injuries
The Little Catholic is not responsible for any allergic reactions or injuries caused by the jewelry.
