Miss Turner was extremely helpful and accommodating with my order and questions about the pendant I purchased. She was able to quickly make and ship the item, which arrived before the due date, and looks amazing, very well crafted. A+ product and customer support!

I love the mix of greens and blues in each stack. Each earring is a little different.

About
Unique, Beautiful, Hand Crafted Jewelry Made with Love For You.
Greetings! I'm Miss M. Turner and I am the woman behind PhoenixFire Designs. I live in Florida with my guy and two kitties. I've been on Etsy since 2006, though it's only since 2011 that I decided to run this shop as my full time business. A medical crisis and major surgery were the turning point for me.
May 2011, in massive pain, I went into the ER and discovered I had almost three pounds of tumors in my uterus. At age 34, I was facing hysterectomy. But first, I had four months of difficult treatments to make me safe enough for surgery and desperate need to raise the necessary funds.
On October 5, 2011, I had my surgery and though my day job laid me off while in recovery, surgery was a success and after a full year of slow recovery, I am healthier now then I have been in years. I decided to take this hardship and turn it into opportunity. So I hope you'll consider helping me in that goal.
PhoenixFire Designs is my business and my passion. I create hand crafted jewelry with my signature item being the Tree of Life pendant. I put a lot of care and love into each of my pieces, and I pride myself on flawless feedback, wonderful customer support and truly caring about my buyers.
Every single thing in my shop is made by hand, by me. Everything you buy is an original. I don't just design items and have a factory churn them out, or hide behind some third-world sweatshop. I twist and shape the wire with my bare hands, embellish it with hand-selected gemstones and transform it into wearable art personally. It is TRULY handcrafted by me for you.
My shop has also been a way of healing something inside of me that was dinged and tarnished through the fear and stress of major surgery. It's been a "bright light" and a positive way for me to help give back something beautiful to the world.
If something you like has sold in the past, convo me; it might be possible to make it again. I also will gladly work with you to create something custom, personalized and one-of-a-kind. Just drop me a note!
I appreciate all the support I've received during this difficult time in my life and thank you for helping me move forward both financially and also creatively.
I appreciate my repeat customers! When you order, you will receive an email with a coupon code for free shipping on your next purchase.

____ CUSTOMS FORMS & FEES ____
Federal law requires that I accurately identify and value items shipping internationally on a customs form. Items will be listed appropriately and for the cost paid (less S&H.) Any taxes, fees, or surcharges incurred are the sole responsibility of the buyer. The shipping fee you pay to me for your order represents the actual cost for the United States Postal Service to deliver your package from the US to your country. It does NOT include any customs charges, taxes or fees. Those are assigned by YOUR country and outside of my control or responsibility.
I SHIP FROM A BUSINESS ACCOUNT AND CANNOT MARK ORDERS AS GIFTS ON CUSTOMS FORMS. MARKING MERCHANDISE AS "GIFT" IS MAIL FRAUD AND ILLEGAL UNDER UNITED STATES FEDERAL LAW.
See this article for more info: https://www.etsy.com/help/article/5023
Packages that are returned due to unpaid customs fees and/or taxes must be claimed by the buyer within 5 days of return or will be considered abandoned and no refund will be given. Buyer is responsible for paying the additional shipping charges required to reship returned packages.
____ LOST OR DAMAGED PACKAGES ____
If tracking shows delivered, but buyer cannot locate package there is nothing more I can do from this end. Buyer will need to contact their local post office for additional information on specifics of delivery. Often the local branch and/or mail carrier can help locate the misplaced package.
The USPS requires lost or damage claims on domestic packages to be made within 60 days of shipping: "For damaged or missing contents, we recommend filing a claim immediately, but you must file no later than 60 days from the date of mailing. https://www.usps.com/ship/file-domestic-claims.htm " After 60 days, there is nothing that I can do for lost and/or damaged packages.
___ NOTE TO EU BUYERS ____
Quote: "If you buy something from a business that is based outside the EU, the Consumer Rights Directive does not apply.
If something goes wrong with a purchase you make from a website outside the EU, the website's own returns and refunds policy will apply. So make sure that you have read and understood the site’s returns policy before you buy something."

Gift Orders
I'm happy to send an item directly to a gift recipient. Simply note in your order that you wish it to go to a different gift address. I am also happy to include a note to the recipient as well - just tell me what you'd like in the "notes to seller" section at checkout.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Packaging & Recycling
Jewelry is wrapped securely in bubble wrap and presented in a drawstring organza bag (suitable for gift-giving!) and mailed in bubble envelopes.
In an effort to be environmentally responsible, I do NOT include printed invoices with orders. You can always few a digital copy of your invoice on etsy here: http://www.etsy.com/your/purchases
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Allergies & Allergens
All items are made and packed in a completely smoke free home. However, I do have two cats and there is a chance of a stray hair or two getting in a package despite my best attempts otherwise. The items themselves being metal and gemstone shouldn't have any problems with holding allergens but those with extreme sensitivity might want to be careful of the packing materials.
Additional policies and FAQs
I gladly accept custom orders! If something I have made sold and you're like another, or if there's something you like but want personalized, or if you have an idea for something different please feel free to convo me with your thoughts! I'm happy to work with you to make the perfect, personalized item for your needs.
Payment is due IN FULL when order is placed. This is because I often must purchase supplies specific for your custom piece and sadly, I have had people confirm a custom order, then I order supplies and create it for them, only to decide they don't have the money to pay. As a result of a handful of unscrupulous buyers, I must now request payment in full up front.
I will be glad to send a photo of the completed piece prior to shipping to verify it is as ordered. In the unlikely event that you're not satisfied, we can discuss changes at that time.
Custom orders are FINAL once the item is shipped. Thank you for your understanding.

* Care and Handling of Handmade Jewelry *
By it's very nature, handmade jewelry is going to be inherently more delicate than something mass-manufactured. It's important to always apply the "last on; first off" rule meaning put your jewelry on last when getting ready and take it off first.
Permanent wire coatings, protective coatings, non-tarnish finishes and gemstones can be damaged by exposure to various chemicals, including things like lotions, hairsprays and perfumes among others.
It's also important to NEVER submerge handmade jewelry in any kind of liquid, nor use any abrasive clothes, brushes or cleaners as it can damage the piece. Do not wear in the shower, tub, pool or other time when the piece may get submerged in water.
By following these guidelines and with normal wear and gentle care, your handmade jewelry should last you for years and years!
