{LucyMint's Beginnings}

"Whatever your hands find to do, do it with all your strength..."
-Ecclesiastes 9:10

I was 13 when I truly embraced my love for clothing and handmade things. From sewing classes to showcasing my bracelets at small craft fairs, I've always loved the experience gained from handcrafting things of my own. Fast forward through college and my creative outlet became writing and event planning which led me to my current position in non-profit fundraising and marketing. Still, my mind inevitably returns to my handmade days, a hobby that brings me joy, warmth, and purpose.

In August of 2014 I launched LucyMint, which offers unique and personalized jewelry at affordable prices. My hope is that you'll find a little something here that sparks your fancy and finds a home in your wardrobe and jewelry armoire.

Why LucyMint?

For as long as I can remember, my mother's nickname for me has been Lucy. (Though my real name is Elissa. Completely unrelated, I know.) It's the name I hear every time I call home and it's the name I hear when my mom thinks I'm being sassy (I get it from her). And then there's mint. My favorite shade of green, the description of things in pristine condition (a reminder of how Christ's redemption makes all things new), and the distinct aroma of my grandmother's purse (since she always has menthol cough drops on hand).

My grandmother and mother are two of the most talented crafters/creators I know. Their creativity never ceases to amaze me and LucyMint, in essence, is the result of their inspiration in my life. I'm thrilled to be sharing that creative spark with you. Thank you for shopping!

What is Gold Filled Jewelry?

Gold-filled jewelry does not de-laminate or peel like plated products. Nor does it tarnish as readily as silver. Essentially, your gold-filled item should last a lifetime. Many owners find that they never have to clean gold-filled items at all. However, from time to time your jewelry may become dirty from everyday wear. To clean gold-filled jewelry, it is best to use mild soap and water. Hot weather and water will not damage the material.

*We stand behind our gold-filled jewelry items. If at any time your gold filled jewelry isn't performing in the way that it should (as listed above), please do not hesitate to contact us to exchange or return the item.

Do you accept orders placed outside of the US?

Yes. But, unfortunately, we do have to keep international shipping rates high. Our international shipping rate is currently $15.00.

How long will it take to receive my order?

Once shipped most domestic orders take anywhere from 2 to 10 business days to arrive depending on the efficiency of your local postal service.

LucyMint strives to ship out every order within 2 days of your purchase. However, due to my regular full-time work outside of LucyMint, processing time from creation of your item to shipment is 3-5 business days unless otherwise noted. Thank you for your patience in advance!
