Parts for Bella's Gemstone Ball Belly Button Rings. Shown are Blue and Green Onyx, Amethyst, Rose Quartz and Tiger's Eye
It All Started With a Necklace
Once upon a time there was a simple leather, barrel bead necklace that was admired so much, I was asked to make another. Then I made them for friends and family; then came an anklet; then came a bracelet; then some earrings...well, you get the picture. Over time my jewelry hobby has slowly evolved into a family activity and we are now re-inventing it into this online shop.
The name-
Bella Tempesta means "Beautiful Storm" in Italian.
Being an artistic few, we here at Bella Tempesta are driven by creativity, curiosity, and passion. We tend to see art in everything and here you will find we put it into our jewelry. We enjoy all aspects of the creative process, from enhancements to original pieces. We are makers. We sculpt, draw, paint, design and build. It's just what we do.
Peace and Love,
-Mark

Additional policies and FAQs
WEAR RISK NOTICE
All of our jewelry and accessories are intended to be worn responsibly and at the wearer's own risk. Some components, (pendant, focal, gemstone, etc.) will be described as having natural and/or crafted sharp components for aesthetic design reasons. The sharp jewelry described should be worn casually and not for a long period of time, nor is it recommended for wear while sleeping, or engaging in any physical activities such as sports and exercise. Simply, injury or irritation could occur if worn irresponsibly.
PRODUCT REVIEWS AND CLIENT OPINION
a) Reviews/comments are the reviewer's sole personal opinion(s) only and any advice that's written should be taken at the reader's own risk. Though we love our clients and the great reviews we get; any healthcare advice, medical aftercare advice, alternative wear advice, suggestions, or otherwise should NOT be considered or inferred legitimate medical advice, or advice from us, the seller.
b) Though very few, we consider all client reviews addressing poor product quality without proof to be considered personal opinions, and will respond if need be.
c) Though extremely rare, any negative review claiming a product defect, shipping issues, or customer service issue without proof (such as images) of fault by us, the seller will be challenged via Etsy for removal.
JEWELRY FOR PIERCINGS (BODY JEWELRY)
Our body jewelry is intended for fully healed and healthy piercings and to be worn responsibly and correctly as it is intended and designed only!
Due to public health concerns and for sanitary reasons, body jewelry cannot be returned. Please see our Return Policy
If you have metal allergies please make sure to choose Titanium with is known to be non-allergenic (if available), or the PTFE/"Bioflex" products. We are not responsible for any problems that could arise due to allergies, (known, or unknown by the buyer) or any metals or products. Please see a physician if you are unsure of allergens. Discontinue use at the sign of any irritation, or soreness.
In addition, we are not responsible for any problems, or injuries that could arise due to practices of poor hygiene, unintended use, use in unhealed piercings or any other improper, irresponsible use, long-term use, accidental, any physical, or sexual activity, or otherwise from the use of any of our jewelry, all inclusively.
NIPPLE JEWELRY CONCERNS
Nipple jewelry, and/or retainers should NOT be in place (worn) during breast pumping or breastfeeding sessions. There's a great article at La Leche League about lactating and nipple jewelry. www.llli.org/breastfeeding-info/nipple-piercings/
MAGNETIC AND ELECTRIC CONCERNS
Our metal body jewelry and some stones such as hematite could be magnetic and will conduct electricity and heat. Please wear with caution.
a) Most importantly if you are having a medical test, radiological scan, or medical procedure of any kind. If they do not ask, please let any doctors, technicians, and attending medical staff know about your piercings first! If your doctor approves, we gladly offer non-metal retainers for this.
b) Also, please be aware of body jewelry magnetism. If you are expecting to be scanned by metal detectors and privacy is a concern, we gladly offer non-metal retainers for this.
CLEANING AND SANITATION
Due to the uncontrolled environment during shipping, and for general sanitary reasons our body jewelry is cleaned (but not sterilized) with anti-bacterial soap and water, then shipped in a consumer-grade zip bag, which is within its own folded packet, box, or case.
You can sanitize the body jewelry yourself by gently using anti-bacterial soap and water and rinsing well before using. If you would like your body jewelry sterilized, please visit your local, licensed body piercing professional for that process. There's usually a small fee.
BOILING
Do not boil our body jewelry as it may damage the jewelry. Please refer to CLEANING AND SANITATION above.
ALCOHOL
Do NOT use alcohol or cleaning chemicals on any jewelry which has acrylic, plastic, or non-metal parts, as it could cause cracking and breaking.
WHAT IS PTFE?
PTFE is Polytetrafluoroethylene and it is also known as Teflon and sometimes "BioFlex". Yes, just like the non-stick pans. Flexible PTFE is used by the medical (and piercing) world because it is difficult for bacteria and other infectious agents to adhere to it. It is extremely smooth and the body doesn't reject it when used in surgeries and frenium. More info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytetrafluoroethylene
METAPHYSICAL CLAIMS
Please note that all metaphysical or healing properties listed are collected from various sources. This information is offered as a service and not meant to treat medical conditions. Bella Tempesta does not guarantee any claims or statements of healing or gemstone powers and cannot be held liable under any circumstances.
