The ordering process for a mazos as follows.

Send us an email with details of what you would like to order. Please be very specific as to what Orisha and path, along with the guidelines you would like us to follow. For a mazo we need the following information, as the mazos are custom made and we do not know what your Orishas live in.

Do you want longer or shorter sections?

Do you want longer or shorter houses?

Do you want all glass beads or is some arcylic acceptable?

Do you want coral or gemstones included in the design?

Do you want elaborately beaded glorias?

What price range are you looking for? Even with glass and crystal beads, there is a wide range of prices depending on how faceted, color variegation and such.

After we have received this information from you, we will design the mazo and send you an email with a picture of one section for your approval, along with a description of the beads being used.

When we finish the frame and main tassel, we will send you another email with a picture of the main tassel.

When the mazo is finished, we will send you a picture of the whole mazo, along with the legnth of the frame and tassels, the weight, and the cost.

When you send us the email with your final approval, please include the name and shipping address where you would like the mazo shipped, along with the method of payment you would like to use. We accept Paypal or money orders. We will send you an invoice with a link to Paypal if you are using that payment option, or the address where you should send the money order. Mazos paid via Paypal will ship as soon as payment is verified. Mazos paid via money order will be shipped on receipt of the money order.

We stand behind our work 100%. We will not ask for any deposit unless the mazo you want is made entirely of gemstones and coral. At any time during the production of your mazo, you are free to cancel. We will finish it and put it up for sale on the site if it does not meet with your approval. If you decide you do not want it upon receipt, it can be returned for a refund if you contact us within 14 days of receipt of the product, and as long as it is returned in the same condition as when it was sent. However, as we have so many checks and balances in our process, you will be responsible for the return shipping.

All mazos will be insured for the cost of the item. We need to be contacted immediately if any item comes damaged. We will give you instructions on the return process. Please keep all packing materials, as that will be needed for the insurance claim.

We look forward to serving you.
