St. Florian is the patron saint of Austria, Poland, chimney sweeps, soap boilers, and firefighters. As a high ranking officer in the Roman army, Florian trained an elite group of soldiers whose sole duty was to fight fires. The emperor, Diocletian, began a fierce persecution of the Christians; reports reached Rome that Florian was not enforcing the proscriptions against Christians. When Florian was ordered to offer sacrifice to the Roman gods, he refused. He was sentenced to be burned at the stake. Standing on the funeral pyre, Florian is reputed to have challenged the soldiers to light the fire, saying "If you do, I will climb to heaven on the flames." Apprehensive, instead of burning Florian, they drowned him in the Enns River. The Austrian town of Sankt Florian is named after him. In 1935, Josef Josephu, a well known sculptor, unveiled a statue of St. Florian which stood guard over the main firehouse of Vienna. In 1945 the building was bombed but the statute survived with only slight damage and is now at the Vienna Fire History Museum. St. Florian’s Feast Day is May 4.

It’s fitting this is finely crafted in silver, since the spiritual meaning of silver symbolizes strength, spirit, divinity, wisdom and purity. This can be worn as a symbol of your faith as your favorite fashion statement. Sterling silver is reflective and mirrors the soul, it is said to bring calm and balance to the wearer. Shaman believe silver offers protection from negativity and evil; it is known as the metal of love and healing. This is 'earth friendly' as it is made with the Refined Karats system certified by Scientific Certification Systems' (SCS) strict environmental, social, and supply requirements.

The rising price of silver makes this a great investment.

Shipping Policies

The Men’s Jewelry Store Shipping Policies

Most packages arrive by the estimated delivery date listed. If you don't receive the package by then, please allow an additional day or two for the package to be delivered. Please note that carriers may deliver packages up until 8 p.m.

Sometimes the carrier makes mistakes, we offer free domestic shipping via USPS Insured First Class Mail, once in a while packages have taken longer to be delivered as the carrier made a mistake and routed the package incorrectly. You can follow the progress of your order as we input the tracking number into your account as soon as we receive the tracking numbers from the carrier.

No Tracking Information

If your package was recently shipped or if it's been sent to an international address using Standard or Expedited Shipping services tracking might not be available. If your package doesn't arrive by the estimated delivery date listed, please wait a few more days. Usually packages arrive on or shortly after the estimated delivery date. We do have a good track record of packages being delivered a day ahead of schedule.

Tracking Information Not Changing

If the estimated delivery date for your package has passed and your tracking information hasn't changed, please allow an additional day or two for the package to be delivered.

International Shipments

In order to save our international clients money, we have your packages sent from our distribution center to our home office via UPS overnight shipping. We then repackage your items and send them to you either via USPS Insured International First Class mail or USPS Expedited or Global Express Mail--which ever you chose.

We send the second tracking number to you via email.

We have found this saves you a substantial amount of money and it seems the packages also arrive a bit faster.

Order Shipped Internationally Not Received/Lost

When an order shipped internationally reaches the destination country, the package may be subject to customs clearance procedures which can cause delays beyond original delivery estimates.  Most of the time the package goes right through; in a few rare cases we have seen it take from seven to 14 days for customs to process and clear a package.

This is beyond our control; we mark packages clearly with the contents, weight, and value of items.

International clients may have to pay duty fees to their country for items purchased. Please be aware of your countries policies; we have nothing to do with setting them.

When we ship internationally and you see via the tracking number your package left the San Francisco, Oakland or Los Angeles airport, it will be in your country approximately 11 to 14 hours. Once it leaves the U.S., your country may not update the status of the package even though we have requested for status updates. This is beyond our control.

The amount of time a package takes to clear customs is also beyond our control. Please do hold us accountable for the time it takes for customs to clear your package.

We supply you with a tracking number, if you have questions use that tracking number and call your customs department to find out when they will release your package. They will let you know the progress of your shipment.

It is your responsibility to know your customs policies and duty fees.
