Is everything handmade?
Yes. Every Bad Bronc piece is made by hand in the studio โ€” real materials, real work, no mass production.
Whatโ€™s the difference between The Drop, Ready to Ship, and Custom?
The Drop is a timed release โ€” once itโ€™s gone, itโ€™s gone.
Ready to Ship is already made and ships fast.
Custom starts from scratch โ€” built around what you want.
When are Drops?
Drops typically land the 1st + 15th. Timing can shift depending on the studio schedule โ€” we announce exact details on Instagram + on the site.
How do Drops work?
Pieces go live during the drop window and sell first-come, first-served. If Nick is live, heโ€™ll walk through pieces as they become available. When the window closes, that drop is done.
How fast does Ready to Ship go out?
Ready to Ship orders typically leave the studio in 2โ€“3 business days. (Drop week can add a little time โ€” if it does, weโ€™ll keep you posted.)
Are โ€œsignatureโ€ pieces all identical?
Same design language โ€” never factory-cloned. Even signature pieces vary because theyโ€™re made by hand. Stones, markings, and finish will have their own character.
What materials do you use?
Sterling silver, natural stone (including turquoise), and karat gold when the design calls for it.
Will my stone look exactly like the photo?
Not always โ€” thatโ€™s the point. Natural stone varies in color and pattern. We keep the vibe consistent, but every stone has its own personality.
Can I request a specific stone / vibe?
Yes. If you have a preference (darker, brighter, more matrix, less matrix), tell us up front. For customs, weโ€™ll guide you. For ready-to-ship, what you see is what you get.
How long do customs take?
Customs take time because theyโ€™re made one at a time. Timeline depends on the project + current workload. If you have a deadline, say so early โ€” weโ€™ll tell you whatโ€™s realistic.
Do you take returns or exchanges?
Ready to Ship items may be eligible depending on the piece. Custom work is typically final. For full details, see Refund Policy.
How do I care for silver + turquoise?
Keep it simple: avoid harsh chemicals, store it dry, and use a soft polishing cloth for silver. Turquoise doesnโ€™t love perfumes, lotions, or soaking.
Do you ship internationally?
If international shipping is enabled at checkout, yes. If you donโ€™t see your country, message us and weโ€™ll see what we can do.
