01 / Orders

Orders

Order changes are only possible before shipment. Please contact us as soon as possible if anything needs to be updated.

Can I cancel or update my order?

Yes. You may cancel or update your order, including your shipping address or product details, as long as it has not yet shipped.

Because we try to process and ship orders as quickly as possible, please contact us at Ferrouslab@gmail.com as soon as possible if you need to make changes.

FERROUS LAB reserves the right to cancel any order due to unauthorized, altered, or ineligible use of an offer or payment, and to modify or cancel promotions due to system error or unforeseen issues.

How long does order processing take?

Most ready-to-ship orders are processed as quickly as possible. Processing time may vary depending on order volume, product availability, handmade production timing, and warehouse location.

If an item is handmade, limited, or pre-order based, the product page may show additional timing details.

Can I add a gift note or gift wrapping?

At this time, we do not offer custom gift notes or gift wrapping. However, our pieces are packaged with care and made ready for gifting.

What should I do if I entered the wrong shipping address?

Please contact us immediately at Ferrouslab@gmail.com. If the order has not shipped yet, we will do our best to update the address.

If the order has already shipped, we may not be able to change the delivery address. Returned or undelivered packages caused by incorrect or incomplete addresses may require an additional reshipping fee.

02 / Shipping

Shipping

Shipping timelines may vary depending on destination, customs, carrier conditions, and whether the order ships from the United States or our warehouse in Shanghai.

What are your shipping fees and delivery timelines?

Please double-check your shipping address before placing an order. Delivery times may vary due to customs, local carrier conditions, remote areas, weather, and peak season delays.

Do I have to pay duties or taxes?

For most non-U.S. international orders, duties and taxes will be covered by FERROUS LAB when the order is dispatched. If you encounter any customs-related issues, please contact us at Ferrouslab@gmail.com.

What happens if my package is returned or undelivered?

Orders returned due to an invalid, incomplete, or insufficient address may require an additional reshipping fee.

If an order is returned to us because of an incorrect address or because it was unclaimed, the following reshipping fees apply:

  • US: $6 USD
  • UK and Europe: $6 USD
  • Canada and Australia: $7 USD
  • Rest of world: $9 USD

Once an order is marked as delivered to the correct address, FERROUS LAB is not responsible for lost or stolen packages.

How can I track my order?

Once your order ships, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking information.

You can also use our Track My Order page to check your shipment status.

For international orders, tracking updates may take 3–10 business days to appear because of the transition between carriers. This is normal.

Why is my tracking not updating?

Tracking systems can take time to update, especially for international shipments, handmade items, or pre-order items. Please allow a few business days after receiving your shipping confirmation email before reaching out.

03 / Returns

Returns, Exchanges & Refunds

Because FERROUS LAB products are handmade, we do not accept general returns or exchanges. Product issues are reviewed case by case.

Do you accept returns or exchanges?

Because all FERROUS LAB products are handmade, we do not accept general returns or exchanges.

If your item arrives damaged, defective, or there is a product issue, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery.

What if my item arrives damaged or there is a product issue?

If your item arrives damaged, defective, or there is a problem with the product itself, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery at Ferrouslab@gmail.com.

Please include:

  • Your order number
  • A description of the issue
  • Clear photos of the product and packaging

Once reviewed, we may offer one of the following, depending on the issue:

  • Replacement
  • Exchange
  • Refund

Requests made after 48 hours from the recorded delivery time may not be eligible.

Are handmade variations considered defects?

No. Because our products are handmade, slight variations in finish, texture, color, shape, or detail may occur. These natural differences are part of the handmade process and are not considered defects.

How are refunds processed if approved?

If a refund is approved, it will be issued to your original payment method unless otherwise agreed. Processing times may vary depending on your payment provider.

Will I be charged twice if I see two charges?

In rare cases, you may see both a pending authorization and the final charge. This does not necessarily mean you were charged twice. If you need help checking this, contact us at Ferrouslab@gmail.com.

05 / Product Care

Product Care

Jewelry and metal accessories last longer when kept away from moisture, chemicals, and heavy friction.

How do I take care of my jewelry?

To help preserve your jewelry:

  • Clean it gently with a soft cloth
  • Avoid excessive exposure to water, perfume, lotion, sweat, and other chemicals
  • Store it in a dry place when not in use
  • Remove it before showering, swimming, sleeping, or heavy activity
  • Keep pieces separate when storing to reduce scratching and tangling
Will the jewelry tarnish?

Our pieces are made for everyday styling, but like most jewelry, they will last longest with proper care. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, sweat, perfume, lotion, and chemicals.

Is your jewelry hypoallergenic?

Please refer to each product description for material details, or contact us before ordering if you have sensitive skin or specific material concerns.

Everyone’s skin sensitivity is different, so we recommend checking the listed materials carefully before purchase.

06 / Sizing

Fit & Sizing

For necklaces, rings, earrings, bag charms, and pant chains, fit depends on body shape, styling preference, attachment point, and desired movement.

How do I find my ring size?

You can measure your finger using a strip of paper or string:

  • Wrap it around the finger where you plan to wear the ring
  • Mark where the ends meet
  • Measure the length with a ruler
  • Compare the measurement with our ring size guide on the product page or Fit Guide page

You can also check this tutorial video: Ring size tutorial.

How do I choose necklace length?

Compare the product length with a necklace you already own and like. Shorter necklaces sit closer to the neck or collarbone, while longer necklaces create more drop and movement.

If the necklace includes an extender chain, the fit can usually shift between a closer and looser position.

How should bag charms and pant chains fit?

Bag charms should be attached to a secure handle, zipper, strap ring, or hardware point. Avoid delicate zipper pulls or fragile fabric loops.

Pant chains should be measured based on where you want to clip them and how much drape you want. Use a string to map the curve, then compare it with the product length.

Where can I find the full Fit Guide?

You can view our full Fit Guide here: Fit Guide.

07 / Gift Cards

Gift Cards

Gift cards can be used at checkout when available. Terms may vary depending on the gift card product.

How do I use my gift card?

You can enter your gift card code at checkout. If your purchase total exceeds the gift card balance, you can pay the remaining balance using another available payment method.

Do gift cards expire?

Please refer to the gift card terms shown at purchase. If you have questions about a specific gift card, contact us at Ferrouslab@gmail.com.

08 / Warranty

Warranty

We stand behind the craftsmanship of our products and review confirmed manufacturing defects or shipping damage individually.

Do you offer a warranty?

If your product arrives with a confirmed manufacturing defect or shipping damage, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery at Ferrouslab@gmail.com.

This does not cover:

  • Normal wear and tear
  • Misuse
  • Accidental damage after delivery
  • Unauthorized modifications or repairs
  • Damage caused by water, chemicals, perfume, lotion, or improper storage

We will review each case individually.
