The catalog was last updated on October 3, 2026. Prices, colorways and stock on every page come from that update.
What we update
Prices, which colorways are available, and whether a piece is in stock at all. A piece with no live offer leaves the site at the next rebuild rather than sitting here with a price nobody can pay, and it comes back on its own when it returns to stock.
Lengths, extenders, stones and piece counts change far less often. Those come from the data we hold on each piece, and they are re-read whenever that piece is rebuilt.
How often
On a schedule, and after any change to the range. Prices on plated jewelry move with metal costs and with promotions, so the figure here is the one from our last update and the figure at checkout is the one you pay. Where the two disagree, the till is right.
What we do not do
We do not take payment, hold stock or ship. The shopping button opens our retail partner, and the order, the payment and any return happen there under their terms.

The routine described here is the one the people behind CAROVO follows on a piece that has to last a season.
