When you invest in Native handmade sterling silver and turquoise jewelry, you want to be sure it arrives safely at your doorstep. Jewelry pieces often carry not only monetary value but also sentimental significance. Santa Fe Sun understands this deeply and takes extra steps to protect your investment during shipping. One key way we do this is by including shipping insurance based on the price of each piece. This blog post explores how Santa Fe Sun safeguards your jewelry from the moment it leaves their store until it reaches you.

Why Shipping Insurance Matters for Handmade Jewelry
Native Handmade sterling silver and turquoise jewelry is unique, crafted with precious metal and stones that can be costly to replace. Shipping such valuable items without protection can be risky. Packages can get lost, damaged, or stolen during transit. Without insurance, you might face the stress and expense of replacing your purchase.
Santa Fe Sun Handmade’s approach to shipping insurance means you don’t have to worry about these risks. By insuring every piece according to its price, they ensure that if anything happens during shipping, you are covered. This protection reflects their commitment to customer satisfaction and trust.
How Santa Fe Sun Calculates Shipping Insurance
The insurance coverage is tailored to the value of each jewelry piece. For example, a delicate silver necklace priced at $150 will have insurance coverage matching that amount. A more expensive turquoise and silver bracelet valued at $500 will have a higher insurance limit.
This pricing-based insurance model offers two main benefits:
Fair coverage: We only pay for insurance that matches your jewelry’s value, keeping costs low.
Peace of mind: You know your investment is fully protected without Santa Fe Sun Handmade overpaying - avoiding raised pricing.
This method also shows transparency. Customers can see that their jewelry is treated with care and respect throughout the shipping process.
Packaging Designed for Protection
Insurance is just one part of the safety process. Santa Fe Sun Handmade also uses carefully designed packaging to reduce the risk of damage. Each piece is packaged securely in soft materials that cushion it from shocks and vibrations and placed inside a protective box. The jewelry is then placed in bubble poly that resists crushing or bending.
The packaging is compact but strong, minimizing movement inside the box. This attention to detail helps prevent scratches, dents, or other damage that can happen during handling.
Reliable Shipping Partners and Tracking
Santa Fe Sun Handmade works with Shippo and ships via USPS Ground Advantage. These partners have experience shipping valuable items and follow strict protocols to ensure safe delivery.
Shippo's insurance policy, primarily through their "Shippo Total Protection" powered by
XCover, offers comprehensive coverage for lost, damaged, or stolen packages, covering item value, original shipping costs, and return shipping.
Once your order ships, you receive tracking information. This allows you to monitor your package’s journey through USPS Ground Advantage in real time. Knowing where your jewelry is at every step adds another layer of confidence.
What Happens If There Is a Problem During Shipping
Despite all precautions, issues can occasionally arise. If your package is lost, stolen, or damaged, Santa Fe Sun Handmade’s shipping insurance covers the cost of repair or replacement up to the insured value.
Here’s how the process works:
You report the issue to Santa Fe Sun Handmade’s customer service via info@santafesunhandmade.com.
We initiate a claim with the shipping carrier and insurance provider.
After verification, they arrange for repair or replacement.
You receive a refund or repaired piece without extra cost.
This clear and straightforward process shows Santa Fe Sun Handmade’s dedication to standing behind their products and customers.
Why This Matters to You as a Customer
When you buy Native handmade sterling silver and turquoise jewelry, you want more than just a beautiful piece. You want a smooth, worry-free experience from purchase to delivery. Santa Fe Sun Handmade’s shipping insurance policy and careful handling provide that assurance.
Knowing your jewelry is protected lets you focus on enjoying your new treasure instead of worrying about what might happen during shipping. It also reflects the company’s respect for your investment and their commitment to quality service.
Tips for Customers to Ensure Safe Delivery
