Reasons to be Hopeful: What remains consoling, inspiring, and beautiful
Here is a collection of some of the most persuasive arguments for staying on the side of optimism, creativity, kindness, calm and hope. Across a series of essays, we learn why we still have the right to feel purposeful and buoyant despite everything that is challenging: because there is still so much more to discover, because love can triumph sometimes, because we can delight in summer days and the light of dawn, because we are not alone in our suffering, because we are never far from the option of a slice of cake or a bath, because we are very small things in a mighty and beautiful universe and because we don’t require perfection for things to feel good enough.

RETURN POLICY
Exchange or store credit is available on eligible (please see final sale items, below) full-priced items with a receipt within 15 days of purchase. No refunds, and no price adjustments for previously purchased merchandise. Items must qualify for exchange, and be unworn and in original condition - including packaging. Any jewelry that has been custom-ordered, modified or sized we are unable to accept for exchange.
FINAL SALE ITEMS
To ensure we offer the highest quality items to our customers and abide by sanitary standards, the following categories of products are not eligible for exchange and are FINAL SALE:
- apothecary & fragrance (including all perishable goods)*

*note on fragrance:
All fragrance and apothecary sales are final. Fragrance is a personal, hygienic product, and once a bottle has left the shop we can't resell it — even unopened — with the same confidence we owe the next customer.
If you're not sure about a scent, samples are the right move — stop by the shop and we'll help you find one.

Refused shipments are not eligible for refund.
HANDMADE DISCLAIMER
Please note that all jewelry and handmade products may have slight variations, due to the handmade process and the natural range of stones and materials used.

We do not issue refunds for these artistic variations.
