Terms of Service
Effective Date: November 14, 2026
Welcome to Bare Earth Co. (“Bare Earth,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms of Service govern your use of the Bare Earth website and your purchase of products offered through our online store.
By accessing or using our website, or placing an order with us, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the website or place an order.
1. About Bare Earth
Bare Earth is an independent collection and creative house offering jewelry, gemstones, objects, vintage and estate pieces, and other carefully selected goods.
Our inventory may include one-of-a-kind, limited, vintage, antique, previously owned, natural, handmade, or otherwise unique items. Because of this, individual pieces may vary in appearance, condition, materials, and characteristics.
2. Product Information
We make reasonable efforts to provide accurate product descriptions, measurements, photographs, materials, gemstone information, pricing, and other details.
However:
- Colors may appear differently depending on lighting, photography, and your device or screen.
- Natural gemstones may contain inclusions, variations in color, clarity, texture, shape, and surface characteristics.
- Handmade items may contain minor variations that are part of their character.
- Vintage and estate pieces may show signs of age, wear, patina, repairs, or previous use.
- Measurements and weights may have minor variations.
- Photographs are intended to represent the item as accurately as reasonably possible but may not perfectly reproduce its actual appearance.
Known treatments, enhancements, synthetic materials, or other material information will be disclosed in the product description when applicable and known to us.
You are responsible for reviewing the product description and available information before purchasing.
3. One-of-a-Kind and Limited Items
Many Bare Earth pieces are one-of-a-kind or available in very limited quantities.
Once a one-of-a-kind item has been purchased, it may no longer be available. We cannot guarantee that a sold item can be recreated or replaced.
We reserve the right to limit quantities, refuse an order, or discontinue a product at any time.
4. Pricing and Availability
Prices are displayed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.
We reserve the right to correct pricing, description, availability, or other listing errors. If an error materially affects an order that you have placed, we may contact you before fulfilling the order.
We may change prices or discontinue products at any time without notice. Changes will not affect an order that has already been accepted and processed, except where required to correct an obvious error.
5. Orders and Payment
When you place an order, you are making an offer to purchase the selected products.
An order confirmation acknowledges that we received your order; it does not necessarily mean that the order has been accepted.
We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order for reasons including, but not limited to:
- Product availability
- Pricing or listing errors
- Suspected fraud or unauthorized transactions
- Payment issues
- Shipping restrictions
- Other circumstances that prevent us from reasonably fulfilling the order
If we cancel an order after payment has been received, we will issue a refund for the amount paid for the canceled order.
Payment must be successfully received before an order is considered ready for fulfillment.
6. Shipping and Delivery
Shipping information, estimated delivery times, and available shipping methods are provided during checkout or in our shipping policy.
Once an order has been transferred to the shipping carrier, delivery is subject to the carrier’s handling and delivery procedures.
Bare Earth is not responsible for delays caused by circumstances outside our reasonable control, including carrier delays, weather, natural disasters, governmental actions, or other events beyond our control.
Customers are responsible for providing an accurate shipping address at checkout.
Please review our Shipping Policy for additional information.
7. Returns and Refunds
Returns and refunds are governed by our Returns & Refunds Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms of Service.
Please review that policy before purchasing.
Certain items may be final sale, including items specifically identified as final sale, customized or modified items, and certain vintage, estate, or other unique pieces.
8. In-Person Purchases
Purchases made at markets, pop-ups, events, or other in-person sales locations are governed by the return terms communicated at the time of purchase.
Unless otherwise stated at the time of sale, in-person purchases are final sale.
Customers are encouraged to examine items and ask questions before completing an in-person purchase.
9. Vintage, Estate, and Previously Owned Items
Vintage, antique, estate, and previously owned items may naturally show evidence of age, use, repair, alteration, patina, or wear.
These characteristics may contribute to the item’s history and character and are not necessarily considered defects.
Where reasonably known, material condition issues and significant alterations will be described in the product listing.
Customers should carefully review the available description and photographs before purchasing.
10. Jewelry and Gemstone Care
Jewelry and gemstones require appropriate care.
Some materials may be sensitive to chemicals, heat, impact, moisture, cosmetics, cleaning products, or prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Bare Earth is not responsible for damage caused by improper care, accidental damage, normal wear and tear, alterations performed by another jeweler or service provider, resizing, repairs, or other treatment after purchase.
Where appropriate, care recommendations may be included with a product or in the product description.
11. Product Use and Personal Responsibility
You are responsible for using and caring for products appropriately.
Bare Earth products are sold for their intended purposes. You assume responsibility for any use that is inconsistent with the product description, care instructions, or reasonable use of the item.
Certain jewelry and objects may contain small components or materials that may present risks to young children. Products should be kept away from children when appropriate.
