Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to Monday May Jewelry’s FAQ page! We’re covering our most asked questions. We’ll answer all your top questions in the list below.

General

I am not Indigenous but want to wear your earrings. Can I?

One of the best ways to support Indigenous art is to buy directly from Indigenous artists. Wearing your MMJ earrings reflects your commitment to solidarity with Indigenous people. Buying Indigenous creates change. It supports the artists, their communities, and any causes they fighting for.
