Order Shipment:
Bayou with Love does not ship via USPS. Please do not use a PO Box as your shipping address. If you need to change your address, please email us with your order confirmation number as soon as possible at sayhello@bayouwithlove.com. Use of a PO Box will delay your order shipment.

Some items may have an extended handling time and will ship within 3-7 days via your selected shipping method. Custom made jewelry, Create Your Ring engagement rings and made to order sizes have a standard 4-6 week production time and may require additional time for design and stone sourcing. Our team will be in touch with you during the entire customization process. All items that require additional handling and/or customization time will be marked clearly on the product’s page.
We will send you tracking information within 24 hours of your order leaving the warehouse to the e-mail address you provided when checking out.

THE CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL DUTIES AND TAXES UPON DELIVERY ACCORDING TO YOUR COUNTRY'S LAWS. BaYou with Love is not responsible if you decline to pay these fees or do not make accommodations to sign for your package. If your package is returned to us, you will not be refunded for shipping and will be responsible for reshipment, if needed.
Damages:
Please inspect the packaging of your item(s) when they arrive, if you notice any damage you should make note of it when signing for delivery. If your item(s) do arrive damaged, please send photos to sayhello@bayouwithlove.com and we will process an insurance claim on your behalf. Please describe the problem in detail and we will do our best to help correct the issue as quickly as possible. Please include photos of the packaging (all angles), the label and the items damaged.
Jewelry Care:
Our commitment to ethical design shines through forming each piece by hand. BaYou jewelry is fine, delicate and must be handled with care & love. Gemstones are fragile and gold is naturally a soft metal and can bend, deform or break without proper care. Some rings may be slightly flexible in their sizing but this MUST be done delicately and with extreme care. These pieces can still break or bend even though they are an open style ring. Please keep ALL jewelry pieces, especially pieces including opals or enamel, completely dry and take off prior to washing your hands, taking a shower, swimming or another other activities with liquids. Apply all hair & beauty products (including lotions and perfumes) prior to putting on your jewelry as chemicals can damage some jewelry. As with any fine jewelry, remove prior to doing household cleaning or using cleaning products. Fine jewelry should be stored in its own box or bag, sealed and airtight, and never be exposed to extreme heat. Our jewelry can be cleaned with a soft cloth. Damaged jewelry is not refundable or replaceable. It may be possible to repair your item for a fee by emailing hello@bayouwithlove.com.
Please see our FAQ page for care instructions.
Damaged jewelry is not refundable or replaceable after the standard 30 day return period. It may be possible to repair your item for a fee by emailing hello@bayouwithlove.com. This includes the loss of any precious and semi-precious stones from your jewelry. Exclusions and acceptions may apply.

The below return policy does not apply to the BaYou With Love Engagement Collection, Wedding Bands Collection and/or any additional custom made pieces including custom resizes and made to order sizes. These orders are final sale and nonrefundable. For questions or clarification, please feel welcome to email us at sayhello@bayouwithlove.com
