My policy for established customers is that I request a non-refundable deposit of 50% prior to beginning work on a custom order. The remainder will be due upon completion of the item.
There are no returns on custom work. I hope you understand.

For new customers the total must be paid before work is started.

All jewelry comes in a cute bag or box ready for gift giving. If you buy several items and want them packaged separately just let me know.

You are purchasing a one of a kind handmade item that may be more delicate than mass produced jewelry; please treat it gently and with reasonable care.

I use jewelers grade sealers on patinas and surface treatments to protect them and your skin. Polymer clay and metals may have added patinas/surface treatments and though quite durable, should not be dunked in water or chemicals. Clean with a soft cloth if necessary. Paper bead components also have at least 2 coats of polycrylic sealer and are quite water resistant but not quite water proof.

Do not shower or swim in your jewelry.

♥ Process:

Some of my beads are created on a paper core base with layers of paints, inks, embossing powders, resin, etc., to create a very hard, close to waterproof surface and very unusual patterns and textures that can mimic stone, ceramic glazes, or raku pottery.

My paper beads are made from paper I paint by hand or digitally design and print to create certain patterns and color combinations. The papers are cut into strips and rolled into beads; they are sealed with at least two coats of either matte or shiny polycrylic and are extremely durable and quite water resistant (but as with all mixed media jewelry you are advised not to shower or swim in it).

Care for your paper jewelry gently as you would any other jewelry.
