As of August 29, 2025 De Minimis (Duty Free) entry into the U.S. is suspended for all countries.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
The U.S. has had a de minimis threshold of $800 since 2016, meaning shipments valued at or below that amount could enter duty-free. However, this exemption is being eliminated, meaning all international purchases, regardless of value, will be subject to duties and taxes as of August 29, 2025.

Inspired by the typical colours and decorations of Sicilian culture, each mini maiolica tile is shaped from clay and painted completely freehand without the use of prints or decals; they are 100% Handcrafted in Toronto.
MATERIALS + SPECS:
Tile: White Polymer Clay + Water-based Acrylic paint
Earring Posts + Butterfly Backs: 18k Gold Plated Brass (nickel-free)
Tile size: 0.5" x 0.5" / Post: 0.5" Long
*Due to the handcrafted nature of the tiles, no two earrings will be identical
Jewelry Care:
Be gentle with your handcrafted earrings - keep away from rough surfaces and pets to prevent scratching. Keep away from chemicals and/or alcoholic substances such as perfumes, creams and cosmetics.
They are water resistant but just to be safe do not wear to the beach, in the pool or while playing sports - salt / chlorinated water and sweat can corrode or damage the glaze.
Do not expose to excessive heat or sun. Clean with a soft cloth.
