DISCLAIMERS
Handmade Disclaimer
When you purchase Bee + Thistle jewelry, please know it is designed and created with genuine leather, cork, laser-cut wood, acrylic, brass, or 14k gold filled hardware. The items you receive may vary slightly from the product picture due to being 100% handmade. The pattern of the materials may vary slightly from photos as no two pairs are alike. Slight imperfections are possible with handmade pieces, though every effort is made to ensure you receive high quality, beautiful jewelry!
Allergy Disclaimer
Although extremely rare, some people are allergic to the metals and finishes commonly used in making jewelry. It is the responsibility of the consumer to be aware of any allergies he or she may have to metals (gold, silver, brass, etc) or the oxidation applied to metals (silver, sulfur, etc) prior to making a purchase.
