General FAQs

Any item purchased during a promotional period of “Gift With Purchase” may be returned for a refund or store credit during the 14 day return window. Please include the gifted product with the return to receive the full refund value of your purchase. Otherwise, the refund will be adjusted based on the retail value of the gift.

We will notify you of your purchase and when to expect your delivery. Please refer to our pre-order policy for more information. 

When Uncommon James launches a promotion, start and end times are referenced in Central Time Zone (CST).

We're so sorry, we cannot price adjust for sales.

We are sorry, but we do not accommodate returns on final sales items. If there is a quality issue with your product, please contact our team for an exchange.

If the order is of sales items, or disqualified items such as Vermeil or dpHue products, we do not allow additional discounts. Also, discount codes cannot be stacked/combined.

To keep your jewelry looking its absolute best, remove it while showering, swimming, exercising, washing your hands, and applying any hair products, perfumes, or lotions. We take pride in the quality of our jewelry, but if you expose it to any of those products tarnishing may occur. Tarnishing may also be caused by your skin’s natural pH levels. 

Do not use jewelry cleaner on your vermeil jewelry. Instead, clean your jewelry by gently buffing it with a soft 100% cotton cloth (you can even use your Uncommon James jewelry pouch!)

When you’re not wearing your pieces, store them in the Uncommon James pouch or box they came in. You can also hang them on a jewelry stand or carefully place them in a jewelry organizer.

Once an item sells out, we’ll likely bring it back in its original style or with a few design updates. If you’d like to be notified when a style comes back simply share your email with us on that item’s page! 

Our everyday jewelry is made with 14k gold plating, platinum or rhodium plating, 14k rose gold plating, brass, stainless steel, and cubic zirconia. 

Vermeil jewelry is crafted from 18k gold plating, 14k gold plating, sterling silver, and real round-cut diamonds. 

All of our jewelry is nickel and lead-free.

You can shop our everyday and vermeil jewelry online and at each of our retail locations.

Our Mystery Box gives you a surprise piece, that can be any type of jewelry, for only $20! Mystery items cannot be returned or replaced. All sales are final.

Build Your Own Stack lets you create a personalized set for 20% off. Start by choosing a category, then pick three pieces you want to stack — it’s that simple. Categories cannot be mixed, all three pieces must come from the same one. Build Your Own Stack is considered bundled pricing and is final sale.

All of our kitchenware should be hand-washed with warm water and mild soap to protect the integrity of the copper, enamel, and wood. 

Our drinkware, both glass and ceramics, should also be hand-washed with warm water and mild soap. They are not dishwasher or microwave safe. Before pouring steaming hot drinks in your glass, pre-heat it or use a metal spoon to absorb some of the heart. 

From pillows to dish towels, all of our products are created with fabrics that should be spot cleaned only. Don’t put them in your washing machine or dryer. 

Our home products are made with a variety of materials from copper and gold, to mango wood and cotton. Since some of our products are handmade, there may be slight variations and/or minor imperfections that make each piece one of a kind.

We source our products from all over the world, including China, India, and the U.S. (specifically Nashville and Arizona).

You can shop our home pieces online and at each of our retail locations.

All of our candles are handcrafted in Arizona with 100% Non-GMO, USA-grown, all natural soy wax. Our candles are free of phthalates, dyes and irritants, and the wicks are cotton, lead-free, and nickel-free. They’re created with a premium essential oil and perfume oil blend. Our candles bring abundant fragrance and long-lasting burn time with eco-friendly and responsibly-sourced materials.

The first burn of your candle sets the whole mood! Wax holds memory from the first time it’s lit. We recommend burning it for 2.5 - 3 hours the first time you light it (that’s one hour for every inch of the container diameter, just in case you were wondering.) Be sure the candle burns from edge to edge to prevent any tunneling. 

Never burn your candle for more than 4 hours. This will prevent carbon from forming on the wick which creates black soot on your jar. Use your candle lid or a snuffer to distinguish the flame to help prevent tunneling.

Always trim your wick to 1/4 an inch each time before lighting. This helps the flame from getting too big and keeps your candle burning at its best.

When creating Uncommon Beauty products, we make every effort to use the most ethically-sourced and naturally-derived ingredients.

Our products are created with imported and domestic ingredients in the U.S.

Are other companies still making products that aren’t? Of course our products are cruelty free. While some ingredients are derived from animals, like beeswax and goats milk, none of our products are tested on animals.

No, our products do not provide sun protection. When we created these products, we made a commitment to use effective ingredients and unfortunately we weren’t able to find ingredients that provide sun protection and match our mission.

Yes, everything is safe for all skin types! If you have a history of skin allergies or irritation, we recommend talking to your doctor before use.

You can shop our skincare online and at each of our retail locations.

If you’re concerned, it’s best to consult your doctor directly.
