Product Care & Materials
What materials are used in your jewellery?
The materials used in each product are listed on individual product pages. If you’d like to know more information on a specific product, please feel to contact us.
Can I request a custom order?
We do accept custom orders which also includes modifying our current pieces to your liking. Some examples include creating clip-on or plug versions of our earrings and customizing the length of a chain. We’re also open to discussing new concepts. Please contact us to discuss. Additional fees may apply.
How do I take care of my jewellery?
Read our tips for preserving your jewellery here. As a general rule, we suggest to always remove your pieces before applying beauty products like perfume, lotion and body sprays to prevent the pieces from tarnishing or dulling. We do not recommend wearing any of our pieces to sleep or in water. Read this post for ideas on how to store your jewellery when you're not wearing it.
Where is your jewellery made and what are your manufacturing standards?
We handcraft and curate our collection in Ottawa, Canada. Our supplies and materials are purchased from manufacturers in North America whenever possible, and we do our research to ensure they are ethically sourced.
Gifting
How will my jewellery be packaged?
Most orders are placed in a high-quality canvas pouch or jewellery box made from recycled materials. Items are carefully wrapped inside with tissue paper or in a cotton bag and will never include prices — just in case you're sending it to someone special.
Our pieces come on a neutral product card which includes our branding and information on who we are.
Do you offer gift wrapping?
We offer gift wrapping for a small fee. Gift wrapped orders are beautifully wrapped with kraft paper and twine. You may include a personalized note by entering your message in the notes section in your cart.
If you wish to wrap items in your order individually, we ask that you indicate this in the order notes. For orders with multiple gifts, a small removable tag will be added to each box to help identify the items inside.

Where are you located, and do you have a storefront?
We're based out of Ottawa, Canada. We ship worldwide and sell in select stores across Canada. See our Stockists page for a list of stores that carry our collection.
What do I do if my jewellery is defective or I received the wrong order?
We're sorry about that! Please send your order number and a photo of the defective or incorrect piece to info@birchjewellery.com, and we’d be happy to help resolve the issue right away.
What methods of payment do you accept?
Our secure online checkout allows you to pay with PayPal, American Express, MasterCard, Visa, Google Pay and Apple Pay. During our handmade markets, we accept cash, credit, and debit card payments. We do not accept cheques or e-transfers at this time.
Can I combine discounts?
A limit of one discount may be applied to each order. If a second discount code is applied, our system will automatically select the better deal, and the other discount will not be applied.
All coupon codes must be used during checkout and will not be accepted after the order is placed. Items that are not eligible to use with a coupon code include gift cards, gift sets/boxes, already discounted merchandise and the Family Birthstone Necklace.
Do you offer wholesaling for retailers?
Our brand is rapidly expanding, and we’re always looking for new stockists. We’d love to chat about stocking our collection in your store or pop up. Find more information here. We look forward to hearing from you!
