Here are some additional FAQ’s to help answer commonly asked questions.

What kind of material do you use to make your jewelry?

We use only .925 sterling silver, real gemstone, and fine lampwork glass. Occasionally a piece will contain wood, fiber, bone, seed, or other natural substance. But we do not ever use plastic or synthetic beads in our creations.

Do you ever use gold to make your jewelry?

We are lovers of sterling silver! We are not using gold at this time.

Do you attend any art fairs or trade shows?

We do! Occasionally we attend art fairs to display and sell the jewelry that you see here online. Watch for details on our website.

Do you take custom orders?

Depending on the time of year and the workload, we will take your custom orders with full pre-payment.

Can you make alterations to a piece?

Absolutely. Any piece can be custom fit.

I broke my bracelet. Will you fix it free of charge?

Regardless of the reason, if it is structural damage, the piece can and will be repaired, free of charge. If you have broken a bead, depending on the cost of the bead, you may be charged to replace the bead on the piece. Any silver breakage will be replaced free of charge.

How do I keep my new pieces from tarnishing?

Sterling silver is prone to tarnish. Many of our vintage pieces are oxidized, because many people like that look. If you prefer the shiny look of sterling, you can do many things to protect it. You can close it in a small bag or pouch to resist tarnish. You can purchase tarnish resistant strips to place in your pouches or in your jewelry box. You can also purchase polishing cloths on our website which both polish and protect.
