Every purchase donates 33% - 100% of profit, either to a designated recipient or an organization chosen by the buyer. Check out the FAQ for "Who are the Beneficiaries" and also, see a few great custom examples in the Fundraiser Partners collection of custom designs.

Some Nice jewelry is aligned with a particular cause. For example, Braille jewelry purchases are donated to help prevent blindness. For every Joy Key purchased, children’s libraries receive a brand new copy of a “Sara Learns the Secret” book, written by Abraham-Hicks. Many designs invite you to determine the beneficiary and special fundraisers and requests are always an option.

Nice jewelry is generally available in sterling silver and/or 14 karat gold vermeil-quality plated. Some Nice designs are offered in golden bronze for a price point that makes giving fun and easy.

Some Nice fundraiser jewelry designs are available exclusively through the beneficiary, through custom fundraiser jewelry in their gift shops, via online stores or as exclusive membership items and donor gifts. Other Nice designs may still be available, just email me to chat.

Continental U.S. shipping and handling is generally via UPS for flat fee of $11.11.

Orders of in-stock items (Best Sellers Collection and more) are shipped ASAP via UPS or USPO flat rate and typically arrive within 7 days, depending on mail timing to your state.

For items not in stock, please allow 4-6 weeks for custom casting and shipping.

For large quantities for fundraisers or gallery/shop wholesale purchases, please email in advance to ensure I can accommodate your timeline.

International shipping fees vary widely. For international orders, please email me. I’ll learn the cost and inform you prior to purchase. Sometimes the shipping is more than the item itself! When that's the case I add as many gifts, surprises and "extras" I can, to say thanks for your order.

To help keep A Nice World donations high, please choose your pieces with care before purchasing. This maximizes happiness and minimizes overhead. Email me or add a note at checkout with any questions you may have and we’ll be sure to hit the mark.

Return your piece in its original condition and packaging within two weeks of receiving and drop me an email in advance. We’ll work it out for a refund, store credit or exchange. To return Nice jewelry purchased at a retail store or gallery, please work with them within their return procedure and policy.

If there’s anything about your piece that’s flawed, damaged or not so nice, send photos and details of your concerns within three days of receipt. We’ll work it out quickly and be sure you’re happy and satisfied with your purchases from A Nice World.

After lots of wear you might expect to need a simple reshaping of a ring band which should be easy for any local jewelry store to do for you, complimentary.

Repairs to rings with stones can risk compromising the setting and may not always be possible or recommended.

Our jewelry is hand sculpted and cast with care for a uniform, what-you-see-is-what-you-get look. Stones and settings may vary slightly, making them unique to you.

Please remember to check your ring size before ordering. If a perfect fit for a particular finger is required, most Nice rings can be resized for an additional fee, which adds around a week to the timeline.
