Announcement
Welcome!
The handcrafted sterling silver jewelry I create is heavily influenced by science, nature, and abstraction. Here you will find botanical jewelry alongside geometric pieces, and gemstones next to found objects. Many of the items are one of a kind and all pieces are created by me, one piece at a time, in my private studio with care and attention to detail. Stop back often as I am frequently found at my bench creating something new to share here on Etsy.
Current Shipping Estimates:
Unless otherwise stated in their listing (or at the top of this announcement), all ready-to-ship items will ship within 1-2 business days. The current turnaround time for made-to-order items is 4-6 weeks.
Holiday Shipping Deadlines:
Custom Orders- November 15th (or until the slots fill, whichever is first)
Made to Order Pieces- November 15th
Ready to Ship Pieces- December 15th
Please keep in mind that these dates coincide with USPS guidelines for Christmas delivery and are not guaranteed.

5 out of 5 starsAdore this necklace! This necklace is so special! So well made and lovely to look at and touch. I love the design and the patina. It is a light, easy to wear piece and I wear it almost daily. I can’t believe there are any in this mountain series left! If you see any in her shop, get yourself one!

5 out of 5 starsI love Erin’s jewelry! I own several pieces and I have given many as gifts. Each one is unique and a piece of art in its own right!

5 out of 5 starsI bought my favorite pair of earrings from Erin years ago. Since then, I've lost one of them twice and she's been able to replace it for me (despite that she no longer makes that design). She's been amazing and I'm SO grateful to complete the set, again! Thanks, Erin, for your high quality work, service, and kindness. (She never once said: "What are you DOING with these earrings??")

Privacy
To fulfill your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order of jewelry, for example), if you contact me directly.
Why I need your information and how I collect it:
I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
* As needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfill your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
* When you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;
* If necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
* As necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
Information Sharing and Disclosure:
Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
* Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
* Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
* Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
* Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.
Data Retention:
I retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to provide you with my services and as described in my Privacy Policy. However, I may also be required to retain this information to comply with my legal and regulatory obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce my agreements. I generally keep your data for the following time period: 4 years.
Transfers of Personal Information Outside the EU:
I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.
Your Rights:
If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:
* Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.
* Change, restrict, delete. You may also have rights to change, restrict my use of, or delete your personal information. Absent exceptional circumstances (like where I am required to store data for legal reasons) I will generally delete your personal information upon request.
* Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
* Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
How to Contact Me:
For purposes of EU data protection law, I, Erin Austin, am the data controller of your personal information. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact me at erin [!at] erinaustindesign.com. Alternately, you may mail me at:
Erin Austin P.O. Box 7305 Eureka, CA 95502
