TwigsandTwineJewelry
Announcement
Back in August of 2018, I resigned from my full time job to pursue my dream of making jewelry full-time. My husband and I both do this as our full-time gigs. When we're not working on jewelry, we are working hard to finish the farmhouse we are living in, especially now that we have a toddler and a baby on the way. We definitely cannot do this without the love and support of all of you! We really appreciate every single order and celebrate after each one!
You can see pictures and stories of us doing what we do on our Instagram, so be sure to follow us on on there! We also post pictures of new jewelry that sometimes never makes it to etsy and post sales too! https://www.instagram.com/twigsandtwinejewelry/
We love to give back, so a portion of our sales go to or have gone to:
*Indiana Coalition to End Sexual Assault
*Compassion International - sponsoring a child in poverty in another county
*Rocksteady Boxing Brownsburg - fighting back against Parkinson's Disease
*Crozier Life - working to end human trafficking
*Life Church Indy and Brownsburg
*OutReach Indy - equipping and empowering homeless teens and young adults to achieve stability and life transformation
If you want to see our jewelry in person, you can check it out at Silver in the City in Indianapolis and Carmel, Uniquely Indy and Cultural Crossroads at the Indianapolis Airport, Leslie J's Marketplace in Worthington, The Find in Fort Wayne, and The Dragonfly Gallery in Spencer, Indiana.
Curious about customs?? We love to create something super special that you have in mind for a loved one. We will do whatever possible to make the saying, phrase, quote, dates, etc fit on a piece of jewelry that you will love!
We make most things as they are ordered and processing time generally takes 5-7 business days before we can ship it off. If you need something sooner, please message us before ordering, and we can see what we can do to get it to you sooner!

About TwigsandTwineJewelry
Life has a way of working it's way out and putting you where you always belonged.
I was always a very artistic child and loved anything art. Art class was my favorite in school, and I often made jewelry with any sort of bead I could get my hands on. A detour led me away from art in college and onto psychology and social work. Somehow, I ended up with a Masters in Social Work and doing child therapy. I loved working with children, but I knew I needed to be using my artistic talents. As fate would have it, budget cuts led to me losing my job. This is where the story gets good! Eight months of unemployment and trying to find a job at a hospital during a hiring freeze led me to get a seasonal job at Silver in the City (the most magical gift and jewelry store in downtown Indianapolis.) The job was great but what was even better was that they needed another vendor who could make earrings for the holidays, and I was that person! Eventually, I started using the hand stamping kit, that Anthony (my boyfriend) had bought me for me birthday, to make necklaces. When Mother's Day came around, the necklaces were a big success, and I started needing help with production. Anthony quickly stepped in and now I could not do it without him!
The name Twigs and Twine Jewelry came from an episode of Castle where Kate was talking about how, when she was a child, her dad had taken her to a fair after her mom's funeral. He grabbed some twigs and twine and made a doll with it for her. She said it reminded her that "even on the worst day, there's a possibility for joy." We hope that our Twigs and Twine Jewelry can be like that twigs and twine doll for each of you.

Additional policies and FAQs
GENERAL CARE:
*Always remove jewelry before bathing, swimming or exercising. Chlorine, salt water, perfume, and perspiration can lead to tarnishing.
*Sterling silver will tarnish. You can use a polishing cloth to remove the tarnish.
*Please store jewelry away from moisture. We recommend storing sterling silver items in ziplock bag.
HAND STAMPED ITEMS:
* Every letter is hammered individually and spacing can vary. This is a part of the charm of hand stamped jewelry and should be considered normal. Every piece is unique and awesome! :)
*Each item is oxidized and then hand polished to make the letters stand out. Only use a polishing cloth to clean the item. Using a cleaning dip will result in removing the oxidization process.
