All international sales are final.

Orders shipped to countries outside of the U.S. may be subject to import taxes, customs duties, and fees levied by the destination country.  Any duties or charges for customs clearance are borne by the recipient; Delicacies Jewelry has no control over these charges, does not pay them on behalf of the customer, and cannot predict what they may be. 

Customs policies vary widely from country to country; customers should contact their local customs office for complete information. When customs clearance procedures are required, delays beyond our original delivery estimates may occur.

If your package is damaged during delivery, please contact us at info@delicaciesjewelry.com and we’ll do our best to help resolve it quickly.

We cannot replace items if they are confirmed “delivered” by FedEx. We are not liable for stolen packages once tracking shows they were delivered.

First step: make sure the package hasn’t been dropped at a back porch or side door, is inside a package storage room, or was left with neighbors.

If it is missing, please call FedEx at 1-800-GO-FEDEX (1(800) 463-3339) to report a package confirmed “delivered” as stolen. (Please have your tracking number handy.) Please email us at info@delicaciesjewelry.com if you need additional help. 

Note: Frequently, certain buildings are known as targets of package theft. If you live in a building where thefts have occurred in the past, please email us before purchasing (or leave a note in the order notes) and we can ‘require a signature’ for delivery confirmation.

We’re only happy if you’re happy! If you are not completely satisfied with your jewelry for any reason, please email info@delicaciesjewelry.com within 60 days of your original purchase date and we will be happy to assist you. Please include your order #, the purchaser’s name, and method of payment (if available) for faster response times. 

We do not offer a jewelry repair service. Frequently, a local jeweler can repair your piece most cost-effectively. We do offer replacement chains on our website. (Though they don’t break often, our 1 mm chains are delicate and can break if pulled, tugged or snagged on a regular basis.)

Replacement chains can be found here.

In-stock orders typically ship within one (1) business day. (I.e., orders for in-stock items placed Friday or over the weekend will ship Monday morning. Orders placed on Monday will ship on Tuesday.) Shipping times vary based by destination and the shipping method selected at checkout. Estimated ship times are provided at checkout. 

Note: FedEx Ground shipping can take up to 5 business days but delivery times are NOT guaranteed, especially around major holidays.

Delicacies is the world’s first line of fine jewelry inspired by whole, simple ingredients and iconic foods. Since 2015, we’ve created food-inspired jewelry designed to be collected, gifted, and worn by people who believe food is love and donate to fight hunger with every purchase. To date, we have donated over 1.1 million meals and have over 25,000 happy customers! 

Giving back is at the heart of our brand. Every Delicacies purchase helps support nonprofit organizations fighting hunger through charitable giving, meal programs, and community support initiatives. To date, Delicacies has helped provide more than 1.1 million meals through the organizations we support.

Because food is more than food. It’s comfort, celebration, nostalgia, travel, family, culture, and love. Delicacies was created for people who connect deeply to meals, ingredients, rituals, and gathering around the table.

Our pieces are meaningful to many people in many different ways. A bowl of pastina from childhood. Sunday pasta with family. A favorite bakery in Paris. A wedding in Italy. A grandmother’s recipe. A first date with your spouse. Your pet’s name. Our jewelry becomes a wearable reminder of the people, places, meals, and memories people love most. Many of our customers describe Delicacies as one of the most meaningful and memorable gifts they’ve ever given.

Yes, we do! There are over 300,000 edible foods on earth, according to the United Nations Food & Agriculture Organization. We currently offer around 300 unique items, so we’ve barely scratched the surface. Email info@delicaciesjewelry.com and we will get back to you within 24 hours.

Our ‘ingredient mythologies’ are compiled from stories and myths told over thousands of years, the world over. Food is essential to us, providing the energy we need to live, to think, to work, to create. But food is so much more than just a kcal, a simple measure of energy. Over human history it has fed our myths, our stories, our cultures, our families, our celebrations, and our rituals. Delicacies’ goal is to recognize and celebrate each simple, beautiful ingredient, in all of the ways it adds flavor to our lives. 

We’d like to especially recognize one of our favorite food-based mythology resources: “Nectar and Ambrosia: An Encyclopedia of Food in World Mythology”, by Tamra Andrews
