All jewelry comes in a box. If you pay for gift wrap, I will put a simple bow on the box and include a personal note, just let me know what you want to say!

I am not interested in selling wholesale at this time

Minimize tarnishing and scratching by storing jewelry in a box, cloth or bag. Clean with hot water and soap and lightly polish with toothpaste or damp baking soda. Remove tarnishing with Sunshine brand polishing cloth, available at riogrande.com. On antiqued pieces, follow same procedure and then rub raised surfaces lightly with cloth. Please do not use dips or creams. Remove all jewelry while bathing and swimming- exposure to chlorine and salt weakens all metals. Please wear rubber ear nuts on ear wires to guarantee that they will not be lost.

Oxidized black pieces are lightly coated with an oil and beeswax salve, reapply if dull. Remove all jewelry while bathing and swimming- exposure to chlorine and salt weakens all metals and changes the colors.

Oxidation may be redone easily for $5 plus shipping.

I use silver and gold with a post consumer content who purchase from fair labor practicing mines.

I believe that purchasing high quality jewelry with a post consumer content that is repairable and recyclable is very important.

I make jewelry in small batches, minimizing waste, use of resources and strengthening the metal by using hand forming techniques en lieu of casting processes.

My jewelry is hand made from solid silver and gold; my jewelry is repairable and recyclable.

The buyer is responsible for all import fees.

I purchase private insurance on all international orders.

I have had very little problems sending over seas to many countries, but sometimes it can take 2 weeks or longer, depending on where you live.

Be warned that I have had a few packages take as long as a month even in countries like Germany.

But it is usually in very small European towns that this has happened, and I do not understand why.

One package is currently lost in Ukraine- understandable.

Christmas time orders are especially slow over seas.

Thank you for doing international business and please ask me questions if you have them!
