FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
* Do I accept requests for custom items?
I am open to making something special just for you, or someone special to you, if you are open to allowing me the creative freedom to make it truly distinctive. I work best if you have a basic concept, including preferred materials, color themes and sizes, to inspire but not constrain my creativity.

If you have a favorite pendant or some special beads you'd like me to incorporate into a new design, I will take very special care of your cherished items.

* Are my jewelry creations durable?
I make my jewelry to withstand normal wear. But jewelry is breakable. Glass and ceramic beads and some gemstones may crack if dropped. Wire forms can be bent out of shape if not handled and stored properly. Necklaces and bracelets can be pulled apart if enough force is applied. I do not accept returns of jewelry that has been damaged by improper handling.

Unless otherwise noted for a specific item, my jewelry is not recommended for children. (see above re: "breakable")

* Can I make that necklace/bracelet a little longer/shorter?
Maybe. I would be happy to custom fit a piece of jewelry for you. Keep in mind that some pieces cannot be shortened or lengthened without altering their design, due to the sizes and shapes of the beads. Sometimes a piece cannot be made longer because of the limited quantity of unique beads used to create it. Please contact me about a specific item and I will let you know whether I can adjust the size or perhaps make something similar in the size you want.

* Can I make earrings to go with a necklace in my shop, or vice versa?
I would be happy to create earrings, necklaces, or bracelets to coordinate with other items in my shop. The limiting factor is whether there are sufficient beads or other components of the same type. I buy beads in small quantities, often one of kind, so it's not always possible to create additional pieces to match. Please contact me about which item in my shop interests you and what coordinating pieces you are interested in, and I will tell you whether I can create what you want.
