Frequently asked questions
How long will it take?
Shi Studio provides custom handmade work created specifically for you. Each piece has varying time frames for us to make and we normally ship our pieces within 2-3 weeks. We can accommodate faster order at times; please ask if you need your piece(s) sooner.
How are the Shi pieces made?
Shi Studio glass and textile fusion accessories primarily use the traditional dynastic pattern silk brocades of Southern China. Some of the pieces are full sterling silver but most of the pieces are constructed based on the principles of stained glass. For these pieces, the backings on the pendants and earrings are stainless steel and the edges are a lead-free solder made of silver, copper, bismuth and tin. There is no nickel in any of our pieces. The bails and findings, including shepherd hooks, are all sterling silver. The chains are all sterling silver or brass. We use a variety of leathers including full grain Italian cowhide and Italian lambskin. Where appropriate we use high quality vintage and up-cycled garment leathers
Wholesale availability
Shi Studio loves creating wholesale orders - let's work together to create a collection that suits your vision. Wholesale pricing schedule available on request.
Care instructions
These accessories are made with glass.
Please handle with care. Do not immerse in water.
If the solder tarnishes slightly, then buff with a rouge cloth which can be found at most jewellery stores. The solder can also be buffed lightly with super fine steel wool.
For the complete sterling silver pieces only use a silver polishing cloth to buff.
In order to slow the process of oxidization or tarnishing you may store your shi pieces in air tight or zip lock bags.
Can I have a Shi piece made in a different fabric choice?
With Shi we can create a piece in almost any fabric and shape combination. Talk to us about custom creating a piece that matches your vision, or go to https://www.shistudio.com/Custom to start designing your own combinations.
Custom and personalized orders
We love to bring new life to your heirloom fabrics or any textile that holds meaning for you. A piece of a wedding dress, your grandfather's tie, we can capture your memories under glass; please let us know your thoughts.
Do you do weddings?
Nobody says "I do" like Shi can! We would love to outfit your wedding party. Choose from any of Shi’s stunning silk brocades or allow us to work with fabrics of your own, from your wedding gown, bridesmaid dresses or any meaningful textile. Each order includes an individual custom consultation for silk brocade and shape selection to compliment the colours and theme of your wedding. Work with us to personalize details of your wedding jewellery or allow us to choose and design the perfect pieces. Find out more at https://www.shistudio.com/weddings
