All of my jewelry is handmade and in most cases one of a kind. The benefit to you is that you will have an original piece that you will not see on all of your friends. The downfall is that on most pieces I cannot duplicate the item due to availability of materials. I purchase most of my materials at bead shows that come to town about 4 times a year. Finding those beads later can present a problem. However, if you see something on my website that has been sold or you would like to have more than one of, please email me and I will see if I can duplicate the item. Payments: Paypal is preferred. You do not have to have a Paypal account to pay by Paypal. You can use your Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover Card when you pay with Paypal. Your items will be shipped after payment is received. It may take a couple of days for the payment to be processed through Paypal. Returns: If you purchase an item from me and it breaks within 30 days due to workmanship you can return it to me and I will repair it at no cost. If a stone or bead should break I will try to replace it if I can at a nominal cost to you plus shipping. In both cases I will need all of the pieces returned to me if at all possible. Shipping: Shipping is free to all states in the US. All items are shipped United States Postal Service with a tracking number that you will receive when the item is mailed. The items are placed in a colorful organza bag, wrapped in bubble wrap and inserted into a bubble wrap mailer. If you would like to insure your package please contact me before you purchase an item and we will work that out. Pictures: Colors of the items may vary slightly as lighting can make a difference and different web browsers will vary colors as well. I try to take accurate pictures and insure that the color is very close to true. International Orders - $10.00
