I do my absolute best to source all my materials 2nd hand. Either through charity op shops (so I'm also supporting charities), or from local 2nd hand dealers, to support my fellow local small businesses.

I use old jewellery, beads, cages, rocks, shells and more. All bought 2nd hand where I can. I never take rocks, shells, etc from the environment. I simply use ones sold on through charity op shops.

Yes I do custom and commissioned pieces. Just contact me here with your ideas and requests and I will get back to you. Please give me as much time as possible to create your custom pieces, as sourcing my raw materials 2nd hand can be hit and miss. I might not have the right stock on hand, or be able to find it 2nd hand.

With jewellery and hair pieces, please give me at least a month to create, to ensure you get exactly the right piece.

All items purchased online come in a gift bag (if they fit), then wrapped in tissue paper before packaged as safely as I can.

The gift bags are also made from recycled materials if Possible, or are themselves 2nd hand.

My beads come in recycled containers too. Tins, plastic containers, plastic baggies, etc.

And all bubblewrap and packaging is also re-used and recycled from parcels I have received.

ALL pieces, beads, bags, containers and packaging are hygenically cleaned or washed before re-use wherever possible.

If you're a local Adelaide Hills, or Adelaide Metro, small business let's chat wholesale.

Or, if you sell items I use, perhaps we can talk trade?

My basic calculations on a pieces price is the cost of the materials used, plus an hourly rate for how long it takes me to make it.

As I really want my pieces to be as affordable as possible, while still ensuring I earn a little for myself, my hourly rates depend on the size and how intricate the work is.

Just because my raw materials are 2nd hand, doesn't always mean they cost very little. 😊

Occasionally I do. But I will always clearly state this in their item description.

Sometimes items I buy from charity op shops are clearly in their original packaging so never used. I do classify these as 2nd hand, due to where I bought them.

As I buy mostly 2nd hand, saying the age, origin, or the matetial items are made from can be a guess.

My guesses are based on my experience as a life long avid collector and explorer of 2nd hand shops. And from my love of TV show, books, and websites of such topics. 😊

I can never be 100% certain on every item. So when in doubt I will state what I think it is, but that it is a guess.

I will never try to "alchemy upsell". Meaning I won't try and sell you lead at gold prices.

In fact, I do my best to never sell lead or other dangerous or toxic items. If I'm ever in doubt, I don't list it.

If you see something you believe I've incorrectly described, please contact me politely. We all make mistakes.

I'm still trying to ensure I use the lowest, correct shipping rates. If you ever feel my rates are too high, please contact me before you buy so I can give you an accurate quote.

Please realise that the size and weight of an item, or your location, can make shipping pricey.

If you want to buy multiple items from my shop, I do combine postage. Just send me a message requesting a quote.

The shipping prices listed are per size and a max weight decided by Australia post. If multiple items equal that set size and weight, you only need to pay that price for it all.

Yes I do, but currently that is something I need to do manually, as I've not set up "combined postage" on all items. So if you're interested in buying multiple items, please contact me first so I can get you an accurate quote on shipping.
