5 out of 5 starsI was very pleased with the quality of the barrette I ordered. The rough turquoise stones were artfully matched and placed so they complimented each other on the barrette. I love wearing it as it shows my love of gemstones and the earth.

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders
I am happy to work with you to create just the item you need. I may even have something in my inventory that has yet to make it into the shop!
Sizing details
Most pieces are already made. If there are several pieces in stock the sizes make vary slightly, as stones and paperbeads are all unique in size.
Gift wrapping and packaging
We work to use as many recycled materials when packaging and shipping our items. Typically each item arrives in a handmade repurposed map envelope wrapped with ribbon. Gift wrapping is available at an extra cost.
Wholesale availability
We are happy to work with buyers for bulk and wholesale purchasing. Please message me for inquiries.
Care instructions
Most items can be wiped with a damp cloth if cleaning is necessary. Our paperbeads are varnished, but should not get wet. They are quite durable, but if a paperbead should become loose, touch it up with a little clear nail polish.
