Here you will find all the important info. you need before shopping in my store; as always if you have a question that I have not covered here, feel free to contact me via email or phone.
Unique
Because all my pieces are completely handcrafted, and one-of-a-kind; they are subject to availability.Although no two stones are exactly alike, there are a few designs I can almost duplicate; these are identified by stating "similar pieces may be available".
I do my best with photos and descriptions; but please remember stones are natural, and therefore slight variations in color, shade, texture, ect. are possible. The size information is approximate.
Guarantee
I take returns for store credit only. Merchandise must be in the original re-sellable condition and returned within 10 business days of purchase. Shipping is non-refundable and there are no returns on special orders or custom pieces.
Salestax
CT residents please add 6% salestax to all purchases, thank you.
Shipping
All shipping charges will be paid by the customer. In the United States, all shipping will be $4.90 per package for priority mail shipping. Once payment clears, your piece will be shipped. Please allow 3 business days. Please email me for international rates, and discounts on mailing multiple pieces.
Jewelry Care The gemstones are all natural; wire is sterling silver or 14ktgf, and it is NOT recommended they be worn to bed, or in the shower/swimming pool.
Clean wire by gently rubbing with a jeweler's cloth; chemicals and ultrasonics are NOT recommended.
Interesting Points
If you are limited on time, just do a product search for the gem you are looking for.
Some pieces are reversable; this means both sides have been polished and the wire manipulated so you can wear it either way.
Bails should accommodate standard clasps. Some will fit larger clasps. Others will even accommodate omegas and large, wide cords, collars, or ribbons - these are a special bail I came up with that I call a "slide bail".
Some of the pendants are considered rather large, and intimidate certain women; but not if you know that the secret to wearing a large piece is simply to wear it up high, such as on a choker, truly anyone can- no matter what your size.
Metaphysical Properties
This is a subject I have always studied because it interests me, as well as many people, so I have a page that lists the properties of my more popular gems.This is for informational purposes ONLY, not to be used in place of medical care or treatment of any kind.
