SECTION 5 - REFUND POLICY


Returns, Exchanges & Store Credit Policy

Store credit is available for 30 days from delivery, and we will waive the restocking fee when you choose this option. Store credit is issued to your Cherokee Copper account, never expires, and can be used toward any future order when you are logged into your account. If you do not yet have an account, we will gladly help you set one up. It only takes a moment.

We want you to love what you wear. If your jewelry is not quite right, we are happy to offer exchanges within 30 days of delivery. We will provide a prepaid return shipping label to make the process easy. You will simply cover the shipping for your replacement item with a flat rate of $6.99, which helps cover postage, packaging, and processing. Exchanges are limited to one per order, and additional exchanges may incur shipping fees. If the item you are exchanging for is of lesser value, the difference will be issued as store credit to your Cherokee Copper account. This credit never expires and can be used toward any future order when you are logged into your account. To request an exchange, please email info@cherokeecopper.com with your order number and details about the item you would like to exchange.

Refund requests must be made within 14 days of delivery. Approved refunds are subject to a 10% restocking fee as well as the actual return shipping cost, which is approximately $4–$5 and will be deducted from the refund. Once the returned item is received and inspected, refunds will be processed within 5–7 business days and issued to the original method of payment.

We charge a restocking fee because every return requires careful inspection, repackaging, and handling. As a small family-run Cherokee business, this policy helps ensure that we can continue offering high-quality, handcrafted jewelry while honoring the time and care that goes into every piece we make.

There are certain situations where only partial refunds may be granted. This may occur if an item is not returned in its original condition, if it is damaged or missing parts for reasons not due to our error, or if the item is returned more than 30 days after delivery.

Certain collections are considered final sale and are not eligible for return or exchange. These include Custom Creations, Custom Items, Mystery Boxes, Sale Items, Secret Sale Items, and Gift Certificates. Due to the nature of custom items being made specifically to order and often custom sized, we cannot accept returns on these pieces. Our custom process includes verification and approval by the customer before production begins, so it is important to ensure all details, including sizes, are correct before the item is made. Custom orders typically take longer to fulfill and may take up to one month to complete. At times, custom orders may not be available during high-volume seasons such as the Christmas season. If you have questions about custom orders, please email info@cherokeecopper.com.

To begin an exchange, return, or request store credit, please email info@cherokeecopper.com with your order number and your request. We will provide return instructions and a shipping label. Once the item is received and inspected, refunds, exchanges, or store credits will be processed within 5–7 business days.

For returns, we will send a prepaid postage label via email. The cost of return shipping, approximately $4–$5, will be deducted from your refund. You may choose to ship the item yourself, but this often costs more and may not include tracking. For this reason, we recommend using the shipping label we provide.

Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item and to inform you whether your refund has been approved or rejected. If approved, the refund will be processed and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment within several business days. Returns, refunds, or store credits are typically processed within 5–7 business days after we receive your package.

If you have not received your refund yet, first check your bank account again. Then contact your credit card company, as it may take some time before your refund is officially posted. Next, contact your bank, as there is often processing time before a refund is posted. If you have completed these steps and still have not received your refund, please contact us at info@cherokeecopper.com.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at hello@cherokeecopper.com.
