Refund policy

Change of Mind & Exchanges

Because our science earrings and pins are small-batch items, we do not offer refunds, returns, or exchanges for change of mind. Please choose your pieces carefully before completing checkout.

Product Appearance & Natural Variations

While we do our best to accurately showcase our products, please note there may be slight colour variations from what you see on your screen due to photographic lighting and monitor display settings. Additionally, because wood is a natural material, unique differences in wood grain, colour, and texture will occur between each individual pin. These natural characteristics are not considered manufacturing faults and are not eligible for a refund or replacement. We are committed to ensuring that all of our earrings and pins look amazing, so rest assured that each product is created with care.

We take great pride in our quality control, but if an item arrives damaged, has a manufacturing defect, or the wrong item was sent, we will absolutely put it right.
If your item has a major fault, please contact us at amomentofscience.nz@gmail.com within 14 days of delivery with:
  1. Your order number
  2. A clear photograph of the fault or damage
If the item is deemed faulty, we will provide a replacement or a full refund at our discretion, covering any necessary return shipping costs. Please do not send items back to us without contacting us first.

Lost or Delayed Shipments

Earring Care Instructions

We want your earrings to be cherished for years to come, so here are some tips to keep them looking fabulous:

Handle with Care: Treat your earrings with a little TLC. Keep them away from rough surfaces and be mindful when handling them to avoid scratches and accidental mishaps.

Beauty Products Stay Away: Give your earrings some breathing room by keeping them away from perfumes, moisturisers and other beauty products. Let them shine on their own by putting them on after any beauty routine.

Keep Them Dry: These accessories are not fans of the water, so remember to remove your earrings before swimming or showering to keep them dry.

Steer Clear of Extreme Heat: Your earrings also don’t like the heat. Avoid leaving them in scorching hot places like a sauna or your car on a sunny day.

Sparkle and Shine: If the earring hooks need a little sparkle, simply polish using a soft jewellery cloth. If it needs a quick clean, gently wipe the acrylic surface to restore that shine.

Show your earrings the love they deserve, and they’ll keep dazzling for ages!

Pin Care Instructions

We want your pins to last as long as possible, so here are some tips to keeping them in top-notch condition:

Avoid High Use Areas: While the ink adhesion to the wooden pins is great, use in high impact areas can cause peeling or scratching in the design. For longevity of the pins, it is best to avoid jangling with keys or areas where they may be knocked or bumped around.

Keep Them Dry: These accessories are not fans of the water, so remember to remove your pins from clothing, bags, and hats before putting them through the wash.

Show your pins the love they deserve, and they’ll serve you well!
