OUR STORY
Frannie & Elinor designs beautiful, handcrafted jewelry so you feel beautiful, valuable and visible. We make it easy to shop for the jewelry you love.

My mom (Frannie) loved to wear wonderful, interesting jewelry. No matter how hard her life was or had been, in those moments when she put on earrings or a great necklace, she transformed. Mom stood more confidently. She felt beautiful and a little bit more visible, valuable and in control of her life. However private, personal or fleeting those moments were, they brought her great joy.

Although she passed on many years ago, my mom continues to inspire me every day. I named the shop after her (and the name she gave me) to honor her and the importance of feeling in control of your life every day. My mission with Frannie & Elinor is to inspire YOU to feel beautiful, valuable and visible -- just like my mom.

About our Collections
Our collections represent the high standards of Frannie & Elinor designs. We use Sterling Silver or 14K Gold-fill* (never gold-plated!) metals, semi-precious stones, Swarovski pearls and crystals, limited edition accent pieces and handcrafted glass or wooden beads. We always choose premium materials and take time and care in designing each piece of jewelry. All our earrings are made with close attention to detail in design and execution.

Our newest collection, Forged Grace, continues the tradition of excellence in designs of mixed metals complimented by Swarovski pearls in colors that are classic, contemporary and fashion forward. Our use of hammered and textured silver and gold-fill* metals makes our singular designs perfect for day or night.

Every bead, stone and accent material we use is itself unique and celebrates slight variations in color**, size and texture. Variations are a natural part of the character of handcrafted jewelry and add to the beauty and one of a kind nature of our designs.

Customer Service
Our commitment to highly responsive customer service is reflected in our Ready to Ship (RIS) practices and communication with shoppers. We are always eager to help you find the perfect handcrafted jewelry as a treat for yourself or as a gift. Feel free to contact us here on Etsy and follow us on Facebook and Instagram (Social media links below.)

*I choose to work with sterling silver and 14K gold-fill, like many jewelers today, to offer you excellent, top quality designs at affordable prices. 14K gold-fill jewelry, unlike gold-plated, will never flake, peel, turn your skin green or rub off. After solid gold, gold-fill is absolutely the most popular option for quality and durability. Gold-fill has a thick outer layer of real 14K gold that is highly durable and safe for most people with sensitive skin. The standards for 14K gold-fill are also strictly regulated.

**Different screens and monitors may show colors in shades slightly different from the actual item.

Frequently asked questions
Care instructions

Please remember that our earrings are handmade and fragile. They should not get wet or be worn when sleeping or doing activities where they can get caught in clothing or hair. Be sure to remove jewelry when using perfume, hair products and makeup. It is recommended that earring backs be worn to protect against loss. Every purchase comes with a complimentary CareKit and Care Instructions.

I notice there are slight variations in the stones, beads and materials in the earrings. I like that. Is it typical?

Each bead, stone and accent material is unique and celebrates slight variations in color, size and texture. Variations are natural and part of the character of handcrafted jewelry. These features add to the beauty and one of a kind nature of your chosen design.

Safety

Frannie & Elinor earrings are intended for adults. Care should be taken to keep earrings out of the reach of small children as they can present a choking or other hazard. (See also Care instructions.)

What if I have an unexpected problem with my earrings?

We endeavor to use quality materials and always take care in constructing each pair of earrings. Should there be a concern with your order, please contact us immediately and Joan Elinor will work with you personally to make things right. Contact information is included with every purchase.

Will you change regular earwires for lever back closures or change them to a different metal?

We are happy to work with you to change earwires if we can do so and maintain the integrity of the original design. Please click Contact Shop Owner (at the top of this page under my photo) with any questions.

What charities and nonprofits do you donate to?

We are committed to creating beautiful designs so others feel beautiful, valuable and visible. We contribute to those who share our goal. Thus far we have donated to food banks, rides for seniors, a women' shelter, arts programs for children and a writing and performance program for incarcerated women. Frannie & Elinor does not donate to political campaigns.

Are designs in stock or will I need to wait till my earrings are made?

Our commitment to highly responsive Customer Service is reflected in our Ready to Ship (RIS) practices and communication with shoppers. All listed designs are available unless SOLD OUT, which happens with our most popular designs. We are also eager to help you find the perfect handcrafted jewelry as a treat for yourself or as a gift which includes a Custom Design. See the Custom Design options in the shop.

So what is THE BOX I heard about in reviews?

Oooo! THE BOX is the surprise that brings your purchase to you or your gift recipient. I can't tell you any more or it wouldn't be a surprise. :-)
