Shipping: I keep shipping costs as low as possible! Typical shipping for a few pieces is $2. If I ship to you out of state there is no tax. Otherwise, the tax rate is 8.75%.
About the jewelry: My jewelry is never heavy. I create my beads and pendants primarily from polymer clay and resin which are extremely lightweight. You get the beauty and shine of glass without the weight. Plus, these materials are quite durable. Silver is usually sterling, however sometimes I'll use high-quality lead-free pewter in its place for either design or cost considerations. I try to note any time silver is not sterling.
Custom orders: I've done many custom designs, let me know what you have in mind. Besides custom jewelry designs I specialize in pendants to your specifications. Turn a photo or other keepsake into jewelry! Have a specific outfit to match or color combo you want ? Beads to match your pendant can also be ordered if requested at the same time. Since I make the components there is a lot of flexibility in what I can create for you.
Guarantee: I do not accept returns, however exchanges can be arranged. I will shorten or lengthen items to fit, usually at no charge. If an item breaks due to workmanship I will repair it at no charge any time.
Free jewelry: Hold an online party to earn free stuff! Email your friends an invite to purchase from my website and you earn credit based on what they buy. Email me for details. If you are local to Southern Orange County I will come to your home for an in-house party. Because my work is so different from the norm, people get excited and have a lot of fun trying everything on.
Where to see my creations in person: You can contact me directly to arrange an appointment to my home studio. My work is also sold at Pacific Gallery in Laguna Beach and RML Cosmetics in Cost Mesa.
