❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

​Welcome to the Livity and The Creative i studio. Here you will find answers to common questions about our shipping, care instructions, and the unique nature of our work.

  • Yes! We are pleased to offer Complimentary Standard Postage on all small jewellery items, specifically Earrings and Bracelets. This discount is automatically applied at checkout.

  • For larger items such as our Livity Original Art Dolls, Statement Necklaces, Crochet Hats, and Hand-Dyed Totes, standard shipping rates apply. These items require larger packaging and extra protective padding to ensure they arrive safely.

  • To ensure your Livity Original pieces last for years to come, please follow these care guidelines:

    • Avoid Water: Please remove all jewellery (especially items with leather, wood, or silver plating) before showering, swimming, or washing dishes. Water can damage elastic bonds and tarnish metal components.

    • Elastic Bracelets: To preserve the elasticity, roll the bracelet gently onto your wrist rather than pulling or stretching it roughly.

    • Storage: Store necklaces flat or hung up to prevent kinking. Store sterling silver earrings in a dry place.

    • First Wash: Please wash your tote separately in cold water for the first wash to ensure no residual dye is released.

    • Regular Care: Machine wash cold with like colors. Line dry in the shade to prevent sun-fading. Iron on a cotton setting if desired.

    • Washing: Handwash or machine wash on a gentle/delicate cycle only using mild detergent and cool water.

    • Drying: Do not use a tumble dryer. Gently reshape the hat and lay it flat to dry.

    • Display Only: Livity Original Art Dolls are collectible "Fine Decorative Art" pieces, not toys. They are intended for display only.

    • Cleaning: Dust gently with a soft, dry brush or feather duster. Do not use water or cleaning sprays.Item description

  • We take great care in packaging.

  • Packaged with extreme care to protect delicate feathers and glitter.

  • Sent in protective packaging to prevent tangling or damage.

  • Folded neatly and wrapped to protect from moisture.

  • What does "OOAK" mean? OOAK stands for One-of-a-Kind. When you purchase a Livity Original—whether it's a doll, a tote bag, or a gemstone necklace—you are buying a unique creation. We do not mass-produce designs. While we may use similar themes (like our Australian Heritage Collection), no two pieces are ever identical.

    Are your materials genuine? Yes, we value transparency.

    • Gemstones: We use genuine gemstones (like Amethyst, Jasper, and Turquoise) unless stated otherwise.

    • Metals: We use high-quality silver and gold plating for most charms and findings. Our premium earrings feature genuine Sterling Silver hooks (stamped 925), which is always noted in the description.

    • Upcycled Items: Occasionally, we create fun pieces from reclaimed materials (like our Bling Revival bracelet). These are clearly marked as upcycled.

  • Do you accept returns? As an artisan studio, we want you to be delighted with your purchase. If an item arrives damaged, please contact us immediately so we can resolve the issue.

    • Hygiene Note: For hygiene reasons, we cannot accept returns or exchanges on Earrings unless they are faulty.

    • Change of Mind: Please choose carefully, as we generally do not offer refunds for change of mind on OOAK art pieces.
