Making beautiful jewellery from vintage and found things!

I started on Etsy by making felt food for a few years. It was pretty labour-intensive and then I decided to go into Theatre Costume studies. To fund that, and to satisfy the creative urge, I started making some items from found things like typewriter keys and mahjong tiles. I do markets in Sydney - sometimes, in between raising my daughters, working in the costume industry and making stuff.

Shipping
Please note that any customs charges are your responsibility and I will not mark items as "gifts" unless they are for charity purposes.
Please note I'm shipping from Sydney, Australia and airmail can take up to a month in busy periods. In line with most countries' postal policies, I don't consider a package lost until 45 days have elapsed. If you require tracking on your item, let me know prior to purchase and I can discuss costing with you and adjust pricing as needed. There are also shipping upgrades available at checkout.

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalized orders
Do you do custom orders?
Yes, I am always happy to work with you to deliver a product you are happy with. Please send me a convo and I will be glad to work with you.
Sizing details
Most items I make are adjustable in some way. Detailed descriptions for each product will help you to determine if a piece will work for you. If you find the description doesn't answer your question, feel free to contact me through the convo system.
I have sensitive skin. Will your jewelry react with my skin?
I can't say for each individual if it will react to your skin type. I use the highest quality findings but there may be base metals involved which may cause irritation in some people. I have found that coating the piece (where it will be in contact with skin) with a clear nail polish to be very effective.
