Hawaiian Ohia Box Pendant

Our jewellery is made with only recycled gold and silver and ethically-sourced gemstones. The manufacturer we work with runs 50% of its operations with solar power and is a member of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC). Gamar pieces are purposefully designed with how to give back in mind. Sometimes environmental or social projects we personally already know inform our creations; sometimes we actively seek out meaningful projects that align with the intentions behind our different designs; sometimes we run limited time specific sales campaigns to contribute to specific causes. Please refer to the Giving Back page to learn more about the projects we help support thanks to your purchases, as well as to learn more about how we aim to be as sustainable as possible in the creation of our pieces.

To ensure Gamar Jewellery keepsakes continue to accompany you during your life's journey and beyond, we encourage you to follow our care guidelines and treat them with love. As natural oils in our skin, chemicals, perfumes, ingredients in our skincare products, as well as sand, salt and sun can all impact a gold-plated finish over time, we recommend that you remove your jewellery before showering, swimming, applying personal care products and doing household cleaning. Please refer to our Jewellery Care & Size Guide for more details on how to properly care for your jewels.

SHIPPING:

We ship globally and will dispatch your purchase within 4-5 working days for all items in our regular collection. Shipping fees & delivery times are calculated at check-out and are determined based on the country being shipped to. Please note that shipment might be subject to additional customs & duties charges once received in your home country and this might also extend delivery time.

RETURNS:

We operate a 14-day return policy, meaning you must request a return within 14 days after receiving your item. Please note we do not accept returns on Fine Gold, custom made or sale pieces. Also, due to health & safety regulations, we are unable to refund or exchange earrings (with the exception of clip-ons). Sale of these aforementioned pieces is therefore final. To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, meaning unworn, unused, in its original packaging and with all tags intact. You will also need the original receipt. Please note that customers are responsible for covering all return shipping costs. Return of undamaged goods for exchange/refunds is entirely at customer's cost & risk and we cannot be responsible for any return shipments that may be lost or damaged in transit. If you wish to initiate a return, or have any questions relating to your order, please contact us at gamar.alchemy@gmail.com.

The OHIA tree is endemic to Hawaii and plays a key role in the local ecosystem as well as cultural traditions. Adapted to grow directly on lava rock, the Ohia tree portrays incredible resilience and an ability to persevere despite apparent obstacles. The Ohia tree also represents the loyalty of love and the joining of masculine and feminine principles, with Hawaiian legend telling the story of how two lovers became eternally bonded within the tree: Ohia, the man, became transformed by the gods into the tree itself and Lehua, the woman, not wanting to be separated from her love, becoming its flower.
