## Are the jewels water-resistant?

The majority of materials used for La Sainte Bijouterie creations are made of stainless steel, a material known for its good resistance to water and oxidation.

However, some pieces used in the creations, such as certain vintage beads, old pendants or decorative elements (e.g., safety pins), may be made of other, more sensitive materials.

For this reason, La Sainte Bijouterie cannot guarantee total water resistance for all jewelry. To preserve their beauty and durability, it is advisable to avoid repeated contact with water, perfume or chemicals.

## Are the jewels hypoallergenic?

Yes, the stainless steel used in the majority of creations is considered hypoallergenic and is generally suitable for sensitive skin.

However, as each person may react differently to certain materials, La Sainte Bijouterie cannot guarantee the complete absence of an allergic reaction.

## What are the shipping times?

Orders are shipped within 2 to 5 business days after payment validation.

For custom or made-to-order creations, the manufacturing time can be up to 2 weeks before shipment.
