VINTAGE HEIRLOOM HYBRIDS, LACE & CONTEMPORARY JEWELRY
STAINED GLASS & PAINTED GLASSWARE

Welcome to my little corner on Etsy. I offer an eclectic and varied mix of heirloom quality jewelry, including Venetian and vintage style lace jewelry, repurposed vintage classics created with antique buttons and vintage components, as well as contemporary jewelry from gemstones, pearls, and precious metals such as Bali silver, sterling, 14K gold fill, and vermeil. I also create glass art, especially hand painted glass (wine glasses, goblets, carafes, etc.) and original stained glass designs.

"If your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt."

**March 2013: Unfortunately, due to the increasing postal rates, I am having to increase my own shipping fees to cover my costs. I am trying to keep the fees as low as possible by sending items first class when I can; regrettably, items containing precious metals (sterling silver, fine silver, 14KGF and vermeil) MUST, by law, be sent via AirSure International. AirSure shipments to the US are now running me approximately £8.70 ($13.50!) for anything under 0.01 kg (which includes most jewellery items). I know these numbers look shocking! Any amount overpaid for shipping will be reimbursed to your Paypal account upon shipment, but I can guarantee you that I am charging only as much as I absolutely need to in order to cover my own costs. Please see this link for postal prices and more information: http://www.royalmail.com/packet-despatch-low/international-delivery. I know it's frustrating, and I apologize for the inconvenience.**

✵ Please read the ENTIRETY of any listing that you intend to purchase. I know it can be easy to let the photos do the talking, but from time to time there will be vital information in the text of the listing that isn't available within the item description. Sometimes I will request within a listing, usually in the first line of the text, that you contact me BEFORE purchasing an item. There will always be a good reason for this, and most of the time it will be to save you either time and aggravation or, quite often, money. For example, if you are purchasing more than one item, I can combine the listings into one single listing and save you shipping costs, and who wouldn't like to save money? :) Contacting me BEFOREHAND could mean the difference between paying less than you would have had to, but I can ONLY accomplish this if you contact me first. I will always (barring unforeseen disastrous circumstances) be able to reply to convos the same day, but remember that I am in the UK so there may be a time difference, especially if you are in the US.

✵ Please refer to my Policies page before making a purchase. Doing so will almost certainly guarantee a positive buying experience, and could even save you money! ;)

✵ I am shipping from the UK. In my experience, items shipped to the US usually arrive within 7-14 days, to the UK usually within 1-3 days, and to most European countries within 1 week; however, if time is a factor, please make sure you order early to cover for any delay. Unless an item is specifically marked "made to order," all items in my shop are ready to ship (special/custom requests may take time to complete).

✵ I ask that you learn about your country's customs policies before purchase, as the cost of shipping does not include any fees applied by customs. Customers are responsible for any and all customs charges. If you have any questions about this, please consult your postal service.

✵ As stated above, I welcome (and often encourage) reserve listings. I ask only that if you do request a reserved listing that you either purchase it within four days, or message me to inform me of your plans for payment. Please see my Policies section if you intend to request a reserve listing.

✵ I gladly accept returns or exchanges, no questions asked. Please see my Policies section for more information.

✵ I am always happy to create custom orders for you for gifts, wedding parties, special occasions, holidays, etc. I can also adjust or refine most pre-made/existing items as desired. If you have any questions or requests for made-to-order items, please feel free to message me, or you may utilize the "request custom item" link on my shop's front page.
