When importing goods to the UK from the USA, please be aware that there will likely be a VAT charge on items over £15 & a handling fee. More info here: https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad/tax-and-duty.

Tracking: When a package arrives in the UK, it is marked as "delivered", but in fact it has just arrived in your country. It is likely being processed thru customs at your local PO. To get more info, enter the tracking number in the Royal Mail system:

Please do your research before importing, so you can decide whether you are willing to accept these charges. As a US based seller it is not my responsibility to pay these fees for you. I hope this info will help you be more informed.

I am happy to mail jewelry directly to gift recipients & will write a note if requested. Please provide me with your message in the "Note to seller" at checkout.

To keep shipping costs down, multiple items may be shipped in one box. Please let me know in the "Note to seller" if you require separate gift boxes for each item.

I also offer special gift wrapping with paper, tag and ribbon for an extra charge of $3. There are example photos with each listing on the right hand side of the screen, under the "Overview" heading.

• Avoid exposing precious metals to perfume, hair & beauty products and & chemicals
• Store jewelry in an airtight bag with the black anti-tarnish tab included in most SS orders
• Remove jewelry before showering, sleeping and swimming
• Store jewelry items separately to avoid scratching
• Gold fill jewelry and sterling silver jewelry may be cleaned with mild dish soap & wiped down carefully with a polishing cloth to restore shine.
• The natural tarnishing process on sterling silver actually slows down when worn on a regular basis so enjoy wearing your jewelry… often!

Argentium® Sterling Silver is a patented and trademarked alloy that is at least 92.5% pure silver, just like traditional sterling silver.What makes it different from traditional sterling silver is that a small amount of germanium replaces some of the copper that is usually the other 7.5% of sterling silver. It is the copper in sterling silver reacting with oxygen that causes it to tarnish.

Argentium’s unique formulation enhances the appearance of the silver, giving an incredible natural brightness and lustrous beauty that outshines white gold, platinum and even traditional sterling silver.

Finished jewelry made in Argentium is harder, stronger and more durable than traditional sterling silver. All silver that I use is nickel free.

Gold-filled wire is made by fusing a layer of 14kt gold to a base metal—usually brass – that results in a permanent bond. The gold layer on gold-filled products is much thicker and will wear better than gold-plated products. Pure gold solder is lead and cadmium free.

Yellow Gold Fill:
I use 14Kt solid gold for solder on yellow gold fill items. You may see a slight difference in color at the join, but I do my best to blend and make it as discreet as possible.

Rose Gold Fill: There is no non-toxic solder for Rose gold fill on the market, so I use 10Kt solid gold solder. You may see a slight difference in color at the join, but I do my best to blend and make it as discreet as possible.
