Your jewelry rental pieces will be delivered directly to you. Adorn will notify you via e-mail when your order is shipped and confirm the date of its arrival. Also, because we require a signature for delivery, select a shipping address where someone will be available to receive and sign for the shipment during the daytime.

No. Adorn will include a pre-paid and pre-addressed return package in your shipment. All you will need to do is repackage the jewelry and take it to a UPS Office or Store for shipment.

Q: What is a Security Deposit and why do you do it?

Adorn places a reserve on your credit card equal to approximately 5% of the retail value of the jewelry the week of your shipment. This serves as a deposit while you have the jewelry rentals in your possession.

Q: What happens if I don’t return the jewelry by the designated time?

Due to the nature of our business, it’s very important that you return your jewelry rentals on time. Late fees are outlined in our Terms and Conditions, but our clients have established a track record of returning the pieces they borrow in a timely manner. We expect that you’ll do the same out of consideration for other clients.
