LALTA exclusively uses FedEx for shipping of all orders unless otherwise requested. Orders may not be shipped to P.O. Boxes or APO/FPO addresses. A signature is required upon delivery. You may provide your own FedEx account number.

Once we have shipped your order, you will receive an email update with shipping details and a FedEx tracking number. You may follow the link in the email to check the estimated arrival of your order. In the event of a delay, we will promptly notify you with an updated time frame. LALTA cannot be held liable for unanticipated delays in production, shipping or address verification.

Note: Your order will only be shipped once payment and delivery details have been approved.

International shipping

We love to work with international clients. For shipping to international addresses, please contact us for a shipping quote with your full address including postal or zip code. International customers are responsible for all duties and taxes—your local Customs Office can help you with this matter.

return & exchange policy

Please inspect your purchase immediately upon delivery. If there is a problem with your order, contact us within three (3) days of receipt. If you receive a damaged or incorrect item, we will work with you to make things right.

If you wish to return an item, you have one week from the date of receipt to do so for a store credit. Credits are issued less any shipping charges in the original form of payment. You will be responsible for return shipping and insurance charges. Returns must be postmarked within one week of the date they were received.

The item must be shipped to us with tags attached in original packaging and in pristine condition by prepaid, insured courier or mail. You must indicate “Direct Signature” on the airway bill and notify us of the tracking number in advance. C.O.D. deliveries are not accepted. We do not accept responsibility for items lost or stolen in transit.

Custom or special orders as well as vintage and antique jewelry cannot be returned or exchanged. Altered or chipped items cannot be returned or exchanged.

LALTA reserves the right to deny a return if the returned merchandise does not meet our return policy.

Please ship return merchandise via insured mail. 

Repair Services

We service most of our jewelry sent for repair (exceptions include jewelry which has been consumed by pets or garbage disposals, or with lost parts on discontinued items). We will work with you to get your piece repaired or replaced, or get it repaired by our local expert(s). We will let you know in advance any repair charges associated with it and shipping fees. Remember to insure your jewelry when you send it to us, and let us know to expect it via a phone call.

Many of the jewels we sell, including the antique and vintage jewelry, have been handmade in small quantities. We are aware that natural wear and tear happens or an accident may occur. Should this be the case with your purchase, please email us a photo of the damage to info@LALTAnyc.com. We can then determine the best course of action to repair it, which may involve sending the piece back for restoration. The repair process may take eight weeks or more. 

Customers are responsible for shipping and handling fees incurred for transporting them, and any repair costs. After 30 days of purchase, LALTA will not be held responsible for damaged or broken jewelry. 

Please send repairs via insured mail.

Looking for something you won’t see your friends wearing? Please contact us if you are interested in custom-designed jewelry, including engagement rings. We are also happy to help redesign family heirlooms.

We will charge 50% of a special order’s price up front. The remaining balance will be charged upon your order’s shipment or pick-up.

All special orders are final sales and may not be refunded or exchanged.
