If you choose a piece of jewelry from María Rosúa, please read this carefully.

I want to share some very important information with you so that your experience of buying and receiving one of our handcrafted pieces of jewelry is complete and free of surprises.

Each of our pieces is handmade with great care, dedication, and time. We do not mass-produce or keep large amounts of stock because we believe that every piece of jewelry should be unique and special, both in its design and in the process that brings it to life. This means that production is not immediate, as each stage—from piercing and assembly to polishing and painting—requires patience, care, and precision.

In addition, our jewelry is shipped from Formentera, an island in the Mediterranean. This means that shipping times are not as fast as in large cities or mainland areas. Sea and air transportation from an island adds days, and depending on the time of year or external circumstances, delivery times may vary. During the high season, for example, it is common for shipments to take a little longer.

I understand that in this fast-paced world, waiting can sometimes be frustrating, but I want you to know that this waiting is part of what makes each piece of jewelry special. Every piece involves hours of handwork, in a process where there is no room for rushing if we want to preserve the quality and delicacy that define it.

For those who need a piece of jewelry urgently, we have a special section called “Ready to Ship.” It consists of a small, limited stock of finished pieces that can be dispatched within 24 or 48 hours. The variety in this section is more limited because we prioritize personalized artisanal production, but it is a good option if you need a quick gift or thoughtful detail.

If you would like to know which pieces we have available for immediate shipping, you can write to us. We can also show you the jewelry available in our physical store in Formentera via video, so you can choose with peace of mind even if you are far away.

Now I want to tell you a little about the care our jewelry requires, especially pieces with hand-painted details. The paint I apply to the metal is a delicate, artisanal process in which I use techniques such as watercolors and special enamels that bring each design to life and give it color. To keep those colors bright and vibrant, proper curing is necessary. This also takes time and cannot be rushed without compromising quality.

That is why, when you receive your jewelry, I ask you to treat it like a small treasure. If your piece is made only of silver or gold-plated silver, it can get wet without any problem; wearing it in contact with water is fine. But if your jewelry is painted, I recommend avoiding continuous contact with water, detergents, perfumes, creams, or harsh chemicals. Think of your jewelry as a painting you wear: do not shower while wearing it or expose it to substances that could damage the layer of color.

Although it is fine if it gets wet from time to time, frequent and prolonged contact with liquids or corrosive substances can cause the paint to wear away or lose its intensity over time. That is why I recommend removing it and storing it carefully whenever you are going to wash the dishes, swim in the sea, or do any activity in which it could get very wet or experience friction.

This simple care will help your jewelry preserve its beauty, color, and soul for many years. Handcrafted jewelry is made to accompany you over time, but also to be cared for with affection.

If you have one of our pieces of jewelry and notice that the paint has peeled or worn away, please write to us. We can help bring it back to life and restore its color so that it can continue accompanying you just as it did on the first day.

I want to thank you for choosing a handmade piece, with all its own timing and particularities. Buying an artisanal piece means choosing quality over quantity and authenticity over speed. It is a conscious and beautiful decision that allows craftsmanship to stay alive and enables us to continue building connections with every piece and every person who chooses it.

If you have any questions at any time, you can write to me. I am here to accompany you and make the experience of wearing a María Rosúa piece of jewelry a pleasure, from the very first contact through wearing it every day.

Thank you for trusting work made by hand, with time and meaning. Thank you for valuing the local, the sustainable, and the authentic.

Your jewelry will thank you, and so will I.
