It's not you. It's not me. It is the unnecessary, unwanted and destructive trade war implemented by the president of the USA. 

Will my jewelry make it across the border without a 25% tariff applied to it? Possibly yes possibly not. As a small business owner this is not a risk that I can take. When I ship something to you I need to know that you will receive it at the price you paid for it. Up until now I have included shipping in the cost of my work. I cannot absorb a 25% increase. In the utter chaos of running a business these days I have no idea how or when this tariff will be applied, no one does. As a one woman business I simply do not have the time or energy to spend on figuring this out. In order to save my sanity and try to keep myself afloat I have pulled US shipping from my online shop. 

I am sorry this is happening. All I want to do is bring some joy and sparkle to the world. 

I have avoided political statements for the most part because I make pretty shiny things and believe that we all have the right to our opinions and we can meet on the common ground of appreciating my pretty shiny things. This is becoming much harder. 

Sailorgirl Jewelry is for everyone. I don't care who you are, what colour you are, where you came from, who you love, who you worship or what gender you are. We are all equal and deserve equal treatment. I will not tolerate hatred nor discrimination.

The world feels very bleak these days. I am glad I make pretty things to play with. They bring me moments of joy to create. I hope they bring you joy as well. We need it.
