Q1: How do I take care of my handcrafted Naga jewellery?
A: Our Naga jewellery is crafted with love and care, and a little attention will make it last a lifetime. To keep your pieces beautiful, avoid direct contact with water, perfume, and harsh chemicals. After wearing, gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth and store them in a separate pouch or box to prevent scratching and tangling.

A: Absolutely! Authenticity is at the heart of everything we do. We work directly with skilled Naga artisans from various tribes in Nagaland. Every piece you buy is 100% handcrafted, uses traditional techniques, and directly supports the local artisan community, helping to preserve their rich cultural heritage.
Q3: I need a jewellery piece for an upcoming festival. How long does shipping take?
A: We understand that you need your beautiful jewellery on time for your special occasions! We typically process orders within one to two business days. Depending on your location, shipping can take anywhere from 4 to 7 working days. We recommend placing your order at least one week in advance to ensure it arrives well before your event.
Q4: What materials are used in the jewellery? Are they safe for sensitive skin?
A: Our jewellery is primarily made from high-quality glass beads, which are traditionally used in Naga ornaments. The metal hooks and clasps we use are generally lead and nickel-free, making them safe for most people with sensitive skin. If you have a specific allergy concern, please don't hesitate to contact us before making a purchase.
Q5: Can I request a custom design or a different colour combination for a piece I like?
