COMMUNICATIONS
- Please ensure that you enter an active email address & phone number at checkout so that you may receive order updates on your item because we send notifications when your order has shipped or if we need to update you on your item!

ORDERS
- Orders are processed within 1-4 business days, Monday through Friday excluding holidays. Orders received on weekends and holidays will be processed the next business day.
- Orders are made in Brooklyn, NY United States
- It takes approximately 2-3 weeks (or sooner) to complete & ship your made-to-order jewelry based on the nature of the designer’s practice – from the order intake to the finalization of your piece. Please keep this in mind as you place orders as the designer needs time to develop your unique product!
PRODUCT INVENTORY STYLE: MADE-TO-ORDER
Since our items are bespoke, Degrade’s stock amount is formatted based on the amount of “client/customer order” project slots available a that given time, a.k.a. – “inventory”. We believe that there is no need to unnecessarily stock inventory and prefer to create items freshly for each customer’s order (especially given the nature of the designer’s process).
Degrade will generally reset order amounts for products bi-weekly or sooner depending on production speeds. We will update you either via Instagram stories or e-newsletter updates!
