About Me:
_____________________

I was nuts for rocks as a kid. Nuts, I say. Entirely and completely.

Wow, how little has changed.

I work primarily in semiprecious stones, because I love the weight of them, the coolness, the richness of color. And I work in glass, because of the conversations it has with light. If I had to pick a design ethic I'm influenced by, I love both the fluid, stylized grace and excess of Nouveau and the clean simplicity of Craftsman, and tend to vacillate between those two ethics on a completely random basis.

About You(r Purchase):
_____________________

Your piece will arrive packaged in an attractive box, suitable for gifting (and hey, giving presents to yourself deserves presentation too, right? After all, it's someone you love...)

Also, if you would like to include a note, please put that part in the notes section or via Conversation here on Etsy.

About Custom Work:
_____________________

I'm all about flexibility. If you need a piece altered to make it more wearable, you like the composition of a piece but not the color, or you'd like to create a whole new piece, I'm happy to oblige. Please start a Conversation or email me at dustandstars AT gmail DOT com, and I'll tell you whether I'm able to accommodate you.

About Shipping Policy:
_____________________

I try to keep my shipping (both domestic and international) low by using First-Class Mail. If you are in the United States, your piece will ship within 48 hours of purchase unless there is notice otherwise in the Shop Announcement at the top of the page (i.e. I am out of town). However, since international parcels cannot be sent after hours via the miracle of the Automated Postage Center, they will go out on the Saturday after purchase. Generally speaking, First-Class will arrive between 3-5 business days following posting for domestic customers, and 5-7 for international, although obviously this may vary dependent on customs inspection.

If you need something to ship before that, please let me know and I will upgrade domestic purchases to Priority mail for an additional $3. International shipping can be upgraded to Global Priority Rate for $12.

Please note: Stated shipping rates do NOT include insurance or delivery confirmation. If you would like to add these things, please convo me BEFORE purchase.

For international buyers: your purchases will ship as "costume jewelry," "fashion accessories," or "collectibles" for purposes of customs. Please make sure that these are acceptable categories to receive. I am not responsible for items lost/damaged/denied by customs.

About Returns:
_____________________

If you're not happy, I'm not happy: pieces that arrive damaged in any way, please notify me within a month of receipt and I will be happy to repair or replace them. The length of pieces will be included in the listing; if alterations need to be be made, please let me know. If substantial changes need to be made, this may incur additional charges, depending on the size of the piece/nature of the alterations.

Thank you for looking, and happy shopping!
