5 out of 5 starsArrived quickly and in perfect condition. The magnet feels solid for my small pendant, and I feel like it could hold more weight if needed. I would recommend this.

Sometimes life works out better than planned
It's funny how things work out, isn't it? Making jewellery was always a hobby for me, although I had sold a few things occasionally before I set up this shop in 2008. I was doing my PhD in law, and thought that selling my designs online would be a pleasant distraction. And it was, for a while.
When my mitochondrial disease progressed to the point I could no longer continue with school, I realized this little sideline activity could be my "real" job, if I wanted. The flexibility allows me to rest when I need to, but I am still able to earn a living while doing something I love. It's not exactly where I planned on ending up, but it's a pretty nice place to be!
My shop features many items that are "easy to wear" for people who have strength & dexterity troubles - my disability friendly line can be found here: http://etsy.me/16ph1Jg

I won't bore you with photos of my workspace; instead I am giving you snapshots of some of my favourite places, where I draw inspiration for my natural designs.

Shop policies
There are substantial mail delivery delays in many countries, including Canada & the US, due to unprecedented volume and pandemic labour issues.
Accepted payment methods
Returns and exchanges
I gladly accept returns, exchanges, and cancellations
The following items can't be returned or exchanged
- Custom or personalized orders
- Digital downloads
Returns and exchange details
I also accept returns, if you contact me first. Non-Canadian orders must be returned by regular mail with a customs form, as I cannot accept out-of-country courier deliveries. The return shipping costs in these cases are paid by the buyer in most situations. Free shipping items will be refunded minus my initial shipping cost, except where the law requires otherwise (e.g., the EU).
Earring returns are subject to an ear hook replacement fee, as the hooks cannot be resold.
Many of my natural items, such as shells and geodes, are somewhat fragile & cannot be dropped or mistreated without risking breakage, so please handle them with love & care.
Shipping
Please note that due to Etsy policies, I am not longer able to ship to Canada from my Etsy shop. I apologize for this inconvenience.
Shipping from Canada can take a lot of time - sometimes more than 2 weeks to the US and even longer abroad. Expedited shipping is available for an extra fee.
Tracking is only automatically included for all orders to Russia, Mexico and Israel; my regular mail is untracked.
US and some EU buyers can select a tracked option when checking out; others can contact me for a quote.
Please note that some orders to the United States may ship UPS instead of USPS, unless you ask me not to, or you select USPS tracking as an upgrade instead.
With the current world situation, there are additional postal delays; Canada Post states it is now taking an extra 5-7 business days for US shipments, for example, and both domestic and international packages are also taking much longer than usual.
You may need to pay customs, duties or taxes on your purchase in your jurisdiction (outside of the US).
Gift packaging is available on request.
Additional policies and FAQs
Wholesale & custom order inquiries are welcome. Once paid for (including down payments), custom orders cannot be refunded.
Privacy
I do not have control over how Etsy uses your private information; please consult Etsy's Privacy Policy here: https://www.etsy.com/legal/privacy/ for more details.
