INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS
Delays are not from us - we are exceeding our processing estimates by days and getting parcels out before due dates. These delays are due to carriers struggling with logistics and beyond our control.
We are not responsible for parcels going missing or taking a long time to reach you. We will not respond to rude or abusive messages.
We are a small business and we are also human beings and kindness and politeness will get you a lot further with us than rudeness ever will. We will always help if we can.
Having said all of the above, the majority of our customers are just gorgeous and we are so grateful for you and the opportunity to sell our heartfelt jewelry here on Etsy.
Enjoy your visit :-)

5 out of 5 starsThe necklace is beautiful, exactly what we were expecting, when we expected it. We asked for a fast delivery, and it arrived on time. Christine was really helpful and a pleasure to deal with. And the main result : my niece loves the pendant, perfect graduation gift. Thanks again

5 out of 5 starsThis is the second locket that I order from Christine. It is AMAZING!! Anyone that is hesitant to order from this artisan because she is in Australia should set that concern aside. She is much more proficient than some people in the U.S. I had ordered from an Etsy artisan in California and it took him forever to get my primitive Christmas sign to me and he had every excuse in the book. I have owned my own business so customer service is as paramount as quality. Christine knocks it ALL out of the park!!! Please support this artisan because she is AMAZING!!! Thank You, Christine for your dedication to quality and to your customers.

5 out of 5 starsChristine was great to work with, the engraving is perfect and the quality of her work is very high. She was even happy to trim the leather again due to my mis measuring for a small fee. I would highly recommend this as a personalised gift for a loved one.

5 out of 5 starsThis is an addition to the bracelet I bought. I wanted both sides of the charm to be engraved. This is the way to request it. I am very happy with my purchase and highly recommend this shop.

5 out of 5 starsThis is one of the most beautiful bracelets I've ever seen! I ordered this in honor of Harley, my 18 year old Jack Russell Terrier I had to say goodbye to last year. It has a wing charm, a heart charm and an engraved charm that says "Because I love you so much I made the heartbreaking decision I let you go". The other side has his name, his date of birth, and the date I held him in my arms for the last time. The print is very tiny. You have to look at it under a light to read it. This is very significant to me because he and I are the only ones that knows what it says. He was a part of me & this message is only between us. I will cherish this forever. It reminds me that he is my angel and will always be in my heart.

Herzlich Willkommen bei MakeMyDay!
Meine Reise in die Welt der Kunst und des Schmuckes fing mit einigen Semestern an der Kunstakademie in München an. Hier begann auch meine Liebe zu den Werkstoffen Silber und Glas, die mich immer begleitet haben und denen ich bis heute treu geblieben bin.
Meine zweite Leidenschaft ist Lyrik. Else Lasker-Schüler, Betty Paoli, Rainer Maria Rilke und Antoine de Saint-Exupery, um nur einige zu nennen. Ihre Texte in meinen Schmuck zu integrieren ergibt Schmuckstücke voller Leidenschaft und Poesie, kleine poetische Kostbarkeiten, die zum Nachdenken und Träumen anregen sollen.
Verewigen würde ich gerne Deine persönlichen Herzensbotschaften, Lebensphilosophien oder Lieblingsgedichte. Alles das, was Dir WICHTIG ist und was Du gerne für immer bei Dir tragen möchtet...
Nach Deinen Vorgaben entstehen ganz besondere, erlesene Stücke. Ein poetisches Spiegelbild Deiner selbst und Deiner Seele.
ALLE meine Schmuckstücke sind GRAVIERT und nicht gestempelt.
Beim Stempeln drückt sich die Schrift oder das Motiv auf die Rückseite durch. Das Silber wird dabei verformt und ist von hinten unansehnlich. Beim Gravieren wird das Material nicht verformt und die Rückseite kann fast immer sogar zusätzlich graviert werden.
Ganz wichtig sind für mich auch Nachhaltigkeit und Fair Trade. Ich verwende für die Herstellung meines Schmucks ausschliesslich Edelmetalle, die sozial- und umweltgerecht gewonnen wurden oder recycelt worden sind.
Ich hoffe die Umsetzung meiner Ideen und Inspirationen macht Dir genauso viel Freude wie mir selbst.
"There is no perfection in the world, except perhaps in love. Love is expressed in every piece of my work, capturing a moment in time, and giving it enduring life."
Habt einen wunderschönen Tag!

Unfortunately the design is a major part of the work and time consuming, eventually.
What is the difference between bright and dark engraving?
In new jewelry the engraving is silver colored or bright.
This looks noble, but it's not exactly obvious. It's silver color embedded in silver color after all.
The engraving will darken with time. It may take days or weeks and reach its final dark color on its own.
Then the engraving stands out and is more obvious.
However, if you prefer to get this more obvious look from the beginning, you may want to order the dark engraving.
Then I use techniques to make the engraving dark from the beginning.
Where can I note my engraving specifications?
Please leave a note with your custom wishes in the "message to seller" box during checkout or send me a message here on Etsy after your purchase.
★ Please note, that you are verifying that all information is correct when you finalize your order. This includes punctuation, dates and spelling.

Care instructions
Please keep in mind that metal, when it comes in contact with air or the oils of your skin, does tarnish or darken. Darkened metal is a natural process and it depends on each individual person how long it will take before your piece tarnishes.
It can be brought to shine again by polishing with a silver cleaning cloth. Cleaning cloths often are available in good groceries or a jewelry shop.
I recommend that customers remove jewelry before going to bed, taking a bath or shower or participating in physical activity.
Exposure to certain harsh chemicals or environments will result in compromising the integrity of your jewelry. This includes, but is not limited to the following: perspiration, perfumes, cleaning agents, chlorine and salt water.
Gift wrapping and packaging
Each item comes nicely packaged in a beautiful organza bag and color matching ribbon. If you would like to add a note to your package, please contact me beforehand so I can include it for you.
How to measure the correct ring size
To determine your ring size using a ring you already own measure the rings inner diameter by measuring straight across the ring with a ruler. Read the inside dimensions in millimeters. This is the diameter of your finger, which corresponds to your size on the chart in my listings.
