Frequently Asked Questions:
How long will it take to receive my order? (also Noted in my Shipping policy)
-Due to my recent high volume and work load with going back to school it can take anywhere from 3-7 business days (exclude an weekends, I do not usually ship on weekends unless for the holidays) to ship your order. Also excluding transit time after your item has been dropped off. Total time can take 7-14 days for delivery.
- I am resuming school August 19th 2024 for Fall semester and will be doing my best to continue to ship at acceptable times. I will also be prepping for market events. So please feel free to contact me directly for any shipping changes or upgrade shipping to priority or next day. Thank you!
If you need your order sooner for special events, please reach out to me via email at tytowncreations@gmail.com or through DMs in Instagram I will rush the shipping sooner.
Please refrain from sending any messages or emails regarding your order within the first week. I assure you the order is in process and on the way as fast as I can. USPS has also been having problems lately with weather and packages being MIA for a period of time. I keep an eye on the tracking numbers as well. If your package seems to be missing I will happily make you a new piece or work something out with you! Any unforeseen circumstances may cause longer delays.
- Update for August 2024 - My school will resume and there should not be any major delays in shipping this fall semester!

You say your items come gifting ready what does that include?
-All my jewelry is shipped in a gift ready box. The piece is snugly placed on a show card and enclosed with a bow. Depending on the item I will put anti-tarnish tissue paper or a tab to keep from losing any of that luster up until you're ready to open it. It also comes with a polishing pad or cloth to keep it looking shiny and you can always put the item back in the box with the anti-tarnish stuff when not wearing. In addition to gift wrap will be one of my signature stickers or pins! You can also add more stickers to your order separately. Refer to image above for example.
Is there a way I can donate to your education or your equipment?
-This has been a new one for me lately since I have returned to school. Every semester I get a handful of individuals who would love to donate. I greatly appreciate everyone's interest in helping me out if you choose to! I have been so humbled and thankful for my journey in jewelry making so far and I felt as though many others need this more than I do, but if you do feel like supporting me on my journey you can find my PayPal and Venmo below:
PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/tatcjewelry?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US
Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/TyTownJewelry
Thank-you for those who have donated in any way shape or form. I greatly appreciate it and it plays a huge role in upgrading any equipment or getting equipment I have never had before. Silver cost is also hitting $30 an ounce so this also is huge in going towards funding any school projects that require a lot more materials.
How should I maintain my jewelry?
-Be sure to polish with the cloth especially on the days you feel it has a lot of sweat contact or extended wear. Even extended wear with makeup or the weather can begin to change your jewelry or tarnish it faster. You may also clean your jewelry following the steps below (how I keep my jewelry safe):
1. Use 'Dawn' soap or any other dish soap (not hand soap) and mix with hot water. Stir & let have a small soak.
2. Use a old tooth brush or soft bristled brush to give it a light scrub and careful not to use anything damaging or aggressive such as Scotch-brite pads or any wired brushes.
3. Rinse and dry! Keeping your piece dry is very important. Store properly in the original boxing or a soft bag/lined box.
You may also want to avoid wearing the jewelry in pools or hot tubs. Do not wear while applying lotions or sunscreens. Do not wear while showering and wait till after perfuming before wearing if you like perfume. Not recommended to be worn during workouts either!
