What makes your jewelry unique?

Each piece is handcrafted using a process that combines traditional metalwork with a modern, eco-conscious etching technique. Inspired by historic maps, architectural ironwork, and the way cities evolve and interact with nature.

What materials do you use?

Primarily sterling silver, brass, copper, gold-fill, and rose gold-fill. All pieces are nickel-free and made to last with proper care.

Do you make custom pieces?

Yes, a limited number of custom pieces are accepted. Designs inspired by meaningful places like maps, buildings, or landmarks. Contact info@bcouvillion.com to inquire.

Shipping is available within the U.S. and select international locations. Shipping options appear at checkout.

When will my order ship?

Ready-to-ship pieces ship within a few business days. Made-to-order and custom pieces take longer depending on complexity.

Do you accept returns or exchanges?

Unworn, non-custom pieces can be returned within 14 days of delivery for exchange or store credit. See full return policy at https://www.bcouvillion.com/shipping-returns.

How should I care for my jewelry?

Avoid wearing jewelry in the shower or exposing it to lotions, perfumes, or harsh cleaners. Last on, first off. Store in a dry place and use a polishing cloth if the metal needs a refresh.

Will the metal tarnish?

Brass, copper, and silver naturally oxidize over time, creating a soft patina. To restore a bright finish, use a soft Sunshine polishing cloth.

Will my jewelry look exactly like the photos?

Photography is taken by the maker, so images are very true to life. Each piece is handcrafted, and slight variations are part of the process and what makes every item unique.

Do you sell at markets or events?

Occasional exhibitions and group shows are shared via newsletter and Instagram at https://instagram.com/brandicouvillionstudio.
