Welcome
I received my BA in sociology, but “sparkling beauty” has always been my muse. In the early years I made earrings from seed beads, in the traditional American Indian style. I moved on from there to study with Ingrid Weber in Jackson Hole and, with her guidance, I became a jewelry designer. I currently live in Chicago, where I make jewelry that is at once fashionable and timeless. - Because you should want to wear your jewelry for more than one season!
I use sterling silver and 14/20 gold-filled metals, for the most part, because I think that good jewelry should be made of good materials. Wouldn't you agree?

Payment
I accept Paypal - let me know if you need help with this. Your shipping address with paypal should be the same as your shipping address with Etsy. This protects both buyer and seller.
- Items paid for by e-check will not ship until check has cleared.
-Payment is expected at time of purchase. If payment is not made at time of purchase I will reserve the right to cancel the transaction.
Shipping
SHIPPING IN THE USA:
I ship first class mail. If you would like your item(s) to ship priority or express please contact me, I will send an invoice for the additional cost.
INTERNATIONAL ORDERS
I ship internationally, but I will take no responsibility if your item is lost or held by customs. All duties, taxes and any insurance are buyer's responsibility.
I will send your item USPS first class international, without insurance, for the shipping charges listed for international buyers. IF IT IS NOT LEGAL OR PRUDENT TO SEND JEWELRY TO YOUR COUNTRY BY INTERNATIONAL FIRST CLASS MAIL THE BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ADDITIONAL COST OF SHIPPING. I will check the shipping rules for your country and contact you if there is an additional charge. If you wish you may log on to "usps.com" and determine the charges before you decide to purchase.
Should you wish to purchase insurance please contact me and I will invoice you for the difference. International buyers pease be aware that international shipping can take two to eight weeks depending on your location.
Refunds and Exchanges
RETURNS:
I make every effort to properly describe, and provide ample photographs of each piece of jewelry that I sell. I am also happy to answer any questions that you may have or even provide additional photos before you purchase.
In the event that you find the item wasn't described properly or you didn't receive what you expected, you may return the item. However, you must communicate with me within 3 days AND I must receive the item back within 10 days. Absolutely no exceptions. Items must be returned at your expense and must be returned with insurance. I will refund the purchase price, less any shipping charges, once I receive the item.
**NO RETURNS ON SALE ITEMS**
Additional Policies and FAQs
JEWELRY CARE:
All jewelry should be stored in a dry, soft and safe container. If you want your jewelry to last a long time then please remember to remove it before exercising, sleeping or bathing. Sterling silver will oxidize over time especially when it is exposed to humidity. Oxidized sterling will eventually lighten as it is worn - this is a natural process and enriches the look of the piece. Some stone beads, and pearls, are porous and will absorb lotions, perfumes and oils so be sure to remove your beads before washing the dishes, swimming or bathing.
Jewelry may be a choking hazard and should be kept away from young children.
ALTERATIONS:
I will alter or adjust many of my pieces to order so just ask. For major alterations there will be a charge.
If you would like a different ear wire or metal please let me know. Most of the time I can accommodate your requests. My necklaces are all different lengths so check the listing information and let me know if you need a specific length.
WHOLESALE:
Yes, I do take wholesale accounts, please contact me with your store name and location.
