Crochet jewelry stays new looking longer if you don't often expose it to certain elements that can wear on it...however many pieces in my shop are beach/water friendly. Constant wear in the water though, such as never taking off to shower every day may star breaking down the nylon fibers. Also some pieces may have certain components on them that might not stand up as well over time in water such as an electroplated piece or dyed bone or wood. I would not suggest any be worn in swimming pools because of the chlorine...esp jewelry with pearls. If you do happen to wear your jewelry in a pool you should rinse it off when you get home and hang it up to dry. If you have any specific questions feel free to contact me :)

This can happen especially if you store it coiled up. All you need to do is before you put it on start from the middle and make sure the stitching is on top as you straighten it out before you put it on. If it still is giving you trouble..you may very lightly and very carefully iron it. Make sure you untwist it before ironing. Make sure you use a barrier between the iron and the jewelry piece, I used a doubled pillow case. Don't press down hard, be light handed with it. Also use an old pillow case you don't mind getting stained as sometimes the steam from the iron can cause dye in certain beads to come off.

Wearing crocheted wrap bracelets loose will end up irritating you. When it's too loose, one of the strands or wraps will end up being looser then the others. The other strands will tighten up and you will have that one hanging low and looking funky. I once had a customer who returned many times for me to custom create her different wrap bracelets and she was adamant about not liking anything snug on her wrist. She wanted to wear her wrap bracelets like a regular dangly loose bracelet. We did a few that way..and then she ended up admitting to me that it did just what I told her it would and could I please make them fit her snug as suggested.

Everyone is creative and all creative work is beauty in it's own right, however not all types or styles of jewelry fit within the aesthetic of my shop or speak to the customers I attract. I have created items very specific for some customers that are items I don't normally carry. It is often extra work sourcing materials that I don't normally use as well as I may not have the market for it at my shop. So as a general rule I say no returns on custom orders, however I am always very flexible and willing to consider it. It just depends on the situation. For items that custom created for just size differences or slight design changes..there is of course no problem returning those.

I use both authentic sea glass I have found myself and purchased from 'shellers' and cultured sea glass pebbles I purchase from a supplier.

Cultured sea glass is recycled broken glass tumbled and made to look like sea glass or beach glass. I use this mainly in my 'sea glass crocheted bracelet wraps'. It will always be disclosed in the listing details.

Authentic sea glass or beach glass will always be disclosed as well in my listing details. These will be often used in bangle bracelets and necklaces. I source my authentic beach glass from my own trips to beaches here in Hawaii as well as purchasing from shellers/divers here in Hawaii and other places. If the beach glass is not from Hawaii I will disclose where it's from.

Unfortunately for safety reasons I cannot make arrangements to have people come to my home to pick up jewelry.

Your jewelry is being made in a smoke and pet free home.

I don't ship to any countries part of the EU. It's too hard for me to figure out the tarriff codes. I'm so sorry!

If you are not part of the EU and you don't see your country there, please message me and I will figure out the shipping for you and add your country.

If you are ordering multiple items which adds $5 shipping per each extra item and the price is much higher than actual shipping, I will refund you the difference. I need that extra buffer in case the weight jumps it into priority shipping which is much more than first class.

Please ensure that your package will be delivered to a secure location.

If you have not received your package and tracking shows it's been delivered please contact me so I can help you figure it out.

I have found that the #1 reason packages do not show up is because the customers address was not updated to their new one after a move. So be sure to update your shipping info 😁

If that's not it, I always suggest looking around the house incase someone else in the house brought it in. Also you can ask your neighbors as some packages can accidentally be delivered next door.

I ship first class, but there is an option to choose priority mail. If you don' see it, msg me, it might be accidentally clicked of on the listing.

All items are shipped within 2 business days. I'm located in Hawaii so while first class usually takes 4 days, it can take 7 to 10 days. Please allow for extra shipping time during the holidays and for delays caused by the pandemic and world events affecting the post office. This includes postal strikes.

Please convo me if you would like to have insurance added to your order.
