FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

- Do you take custom orders?

(Custom ordering is currently closed) During my less busy seasons, I am more than happy to work with you on a custom order. Send me your ideas or requests through my custom orders page. I also have a gallery of my older pieces that have since sold that you can browse through and see if anything peaks your interest. Many pieces can be replicated to be very similar in style, depending on the materials desired. And I am always willing to source a stone for you that you have in mind. I do not charge an extra fee for customs. There is up to a 3 week turn-around time to complete your piece.

- Can I get a different length of chain on my necklace other than the one it comes with?

Of course! Simply "add a note" on the checkout page stating your desired chain length or immediately contact me after and let me know. I can substitute a chain up to 24" in any style I offer in my shop at no extra charge. I may not have a longer length in stock on certain chains but would be more than happy to order your desired length. There would be a 5-7 day shipping delay if I need to order one.
 

- Can you resize a ring you have in your shop to a different size?

It depends on the setting/stone. A lot of times the entire setting will have to be remade. If that is the case, a charge of 25% of the original ring price will be added to the cost. Contact me and let me know which ring and which size you are interested in. I can also make a custom piece as well if the stone and materials are available. I will be adding more options for made to order rings in the near future.

-How do I find my bracelet size?

To determine your bracelet size, follow the steps below.
1. Measure your wrist below the wrist bone (where you would normally wear your bracelet) using a bracelet gauge, a flexible measuring tape or a strip of paper.
2. If using a plain strip of paper, mark your strip with a pen where the end of the bracelet needs to be. Then measure the paper strip with a ruler. This is the wrist size.
3. To find the bracelet size, increase the wrist measurement by the increment below, based on how you want the bracelet to fit.

 

For a snug fit, add 1/4" to 1/2".
For a comfort fit, add 3/4" to 1".
For a loose fit, add 1-1/4".

Standard overall women's sizes (includes the openings of cuffs)
Small: 7"

Medium: 7-1/2"–8"
Large: 8-1/2"

- What is the difference between sterling silver and fine silver?

Fine silver is 99.9% pure silver. Fine silver is softer and does not tarnish as easily as sterling. Sterling silver is a silver alloy of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. The copper makes the silver harder and more durable, though it is more prone to quickly tarnishing.

- What kind of wood is used to make my wooden jewelry?

I typically use pine on my wooden jewelry pieces. Occasionally I will cut from a piece of driftwood or other natural woods and if that is the case, it will be stated in the items description. A lot of work goes into my wooden pieces. Every piece is hand cut with a jewelers saw from a hand drawn shape as well as sanded and stained by hand. Water contact should be avoided on all of the wooden pieces.

- What is oxidizing and tarnishing?

Tarnish (oxidized) is a thin surface layer of corrosion that causes a metal to lose its natural color or luster. Most metals (silver, copper, brass, gold) are prone to tarnishing when coming into contact with moisture, beauty products, skin oils or other natural elements. Acids that cause the silver, gold, etc. to oxidize/tarnish are commonly found in the air, water, lotions and soaps and produce a harmless chemical reaction/tarnish. It is best to avoid contact with these elements to keep your piece as it is. Tarnish can easily be removed and the metal brought back to its original state by using a jewelry polishing cloth. Additionally, the effect of a purposely darkened/oxidized metal can fade too, revealing the luster below. Many people enjoy the rustic, vintage vibe of an oxidized piece and I purposely oxidize most of my pieces.

- What is your metal jewelry made out of? Can I wear your pieces if I have a nickel allergy?

None of my metals, findings or components contain any nickel in my jewelry or in my stained glass pieces. I only work with pure silver, sterling silver, pure copper and sometimes gold-fill or jewelers brass. All of which are high quality, from reputable suppliers and contain no nickel.

- How do I take care of my resin jewelry?

Resin is very hard and durable but can still be scratched or scuffed with enough force. Delicate handling is needed. Do not store your piece in a hot car or where temps can exceed 120 degrees. Avoid storing a resin piece in the bottom of a purse or piled among other jewelry to prevent scratches. Avoid water, lotion, soaps and oil contact with the wood or metal parts of your jewelry. Polish  smudges or oils off of the resin surface using a soft cloth such as a microfiber rag, dampened if needed.

 

- Do you do consignment/wholesale orders?

I am not able to take wholesale orders or offer consignment at this time.
