ArxRosarum
Announcement
Welcome to my chambers of Victorian, Art Nouveau and Art Deco inspired jewelry.
All enchanting adornments are carefully created with vintage glass jewels, special beads and premium quality brass components. See my policies for more information about the materials I use: www.etsy.com/shop/ArxRosarum/policy Due the use of vintage and other rare components, my jewelry is mostly limited quantity.
★ CUSTOMIZE IT ★ You can get any earring pair with any of the earwire styles I carry. If your desired style is not shown on the listing page, please contact me. You can also upgrade to Sterling silver or Niobium hooks too (great for sensitive ears). As always, I can shorten necklace chains and change the sides of the clasps without any additional fee.
Thank you for visiting Arx Rosarum, the Castle of Roses!

5 out of 5 starsJust exactly what I hoped for when I saw these on your page!!! Thank you so much, I LOVE my beautiful fairies & the colored stone you used is perfect too!! Thank you so much again, These beautiful earrings surpassed my expectations in a wonderful way too! I am definitely going to recommend your shop to friends and family too! Sorry I didn't post my thanks sooner, but I have 5 now 6mo kittens who are keeping me on my toes along with my crazy African Grey Parrot who seems to have decided she really wants to have babies despite her not having a mate to fertilize her eggs & laying unfertilized eggs even just yearly still depletes her bodies calcium which is bad. So, 4 dummy eggs replacing her 2 laid eggs now sit in a makeshift "nest" at the bottom of her cage! Here's hoping she won't lay any more eggs till next year! Lol

Shop policies
In my designs, I use both contemporary and vintage materials.
My vintage glass stones, cameos, decal cabochons and beads were mostly made in West Germany, Czechoslovakia and Japan during 1940-1960's. Some are even older, some slightly younger. Vintage components can have tiny imperfections such as slight clouding, scratches and small variations in size and color. In my opinion, that just adds to the charm!
I use only top quality metal parts. Almost all of them are made in USA with vintage dies. Some of the designs have been in production for over 100 years! The base metal is raw brass, steel (some chains only) or pewter (some clasps only). They have been professionally plated with antiqued brass, antiqued silver, antiqued copper or some other special finish, and sealed with non-toxic lacquer for long lasting beauty.
All metal parts are lead and cadmium free. All of them are also 100% nickel free, except surgical steel which contains always small amounts of nickel, but in a form which often doesn't cause an allergic reaction (that's why it's called hypoallergic); and some silver finishes which may have very minor traces of nickel, but still stay under nickel free standards.
If you have very sensitive skin, I recommend nioubium hooks. Being physically inert metal, it is practically non-allergenic. If you would like to upgrade to any earring hook option which isn't available on the listing page, please convo me.
All items are crafted and packed in smoke and pet free home.

♥ CARE INSTRUCTIONS ♥
Delicate by its nature, costume jewelry should be used with love and care. Follow these instructions to keep your jewelry in great condition for many coming years! (This applies to most fashion jewelry, not just Arx Rosarum's items.)
• Do not swim, bathe or sleep with your jewelry.
• Protect your jewelry from chemicals (eg. hair spray, perfumes, creams) and humidity. They can damage the sealing, rust steel chains, darken patinas and cause corrosion (that green thing) on brass.
• If your jewelry gets wet, wipe it with a towel and let it dry in an open space.
• Store your jewelry in dry boxes and prevent them from scratching each other.
• Keep your jewelry away from small children and pets.
♥ ABOUT THE MEASUREMENTS ♥
I use a life-size mannequin to give a quick size reference. She has a rather thin neck (about 32cm / 12.5"), so the necklaces may hang higher depending on your own neck width.
I always give the measurements like the item was worn. This means earring length including earwire and necklace length clasp closed.
To try at home, compare to your own jewelry or for example, cut a similar length from a thread and try on.
I also always include the weight of the earrings. If you have a scale, you can compare how much your own earrings weigh. Everybody has their preferences, but here is a chart to give you the general idea:
1 g = lightweight (casual)
2 g = ordinary (casual)
3 g = substantial (special occasions)
4 g = heavy (special occasions)
