5 out of 5 starsI ordered a necklace to give my daughter when she went in the hospital to deliver their first child. I ordered the mommy and baby elephant and had baby's name engraved on the back. The necklace shipped quickly and was absolutely gorgeous. My daughter loved it so much and she put it on immediately and wore it during her labor. I don't think she's taken it off yet! Definitely recommend this piece and this shop.

5 out of 5 starsI’ve ordered from this seller for years, since my daughter was first born. We share “mommy bunny/baby bunny” necklaces cause she is my Bunny. It’s such a beautiful thing to share between us. On a side note, I was recently diagnosed with cancer and was pummeled with chemo and radiation. As anyone who’s had a loved one or battled with it themselves, it’s a trial by fire. In order to commemorate the completion of radiation, including ringing the bell, I bought the tiny dragon. It now hangs next to my beautiful bunnies to mark another milestone. I’m still in recovery from the cancer treatment and will be under care for many years to come but my little charms are a constant reminder of what I’m fighting for and how far I’ve come. I love them and couldn’t recommend this designer more.

It's not work when you love what you do.
Once I discovered Etsy, it took me over a year to work up the courage to open a shop. I pondered, contemplated, and then pondered some more. But I always chickened-out in the end. Finally in 2010 I took the plunge and haven't looked back. Welcome to my little corner of Etsy. Thanks for stopping by.
Over the years I've come to specialize in Mother & Baby animal designs. It all started with a sterling silver wire giraffe and a request to add a little baby to it. Then came elephants, hippos, bears, pigs, and many others. Along the way I discovered precious metal clay (PMC). It's a fantastic medium to work with. It's recycled fine silver particles in an organic binder that has a clay-like consistency. When you fire it in a kiln, the binder burns away and you are left with .999 fine silver. I work mostly in PMC now and apply my own artwork to each piece. So much fun!
Most of my items are made-to-order meaning I don't keep them in stock, but make them for you once you place an order. My production time is typically about 2 weeks. Sometimes I can get things shipped sooner, but other times life interferes and I need the whole 2 weeks.
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me and my Etsy shop. If you ever have any questions, I would love to chat with you. And thank you for supporting Handmade. I couldn't do it without you.

Shipping
If it's in stock, it will ship within two business days. If it's a made-to-order piece, my production time is 1-2 weeks before shipping but can be longer around gift-giving holidays. Each item's title and description tell whether it's ready-to-ship or made-to-order.
★ HOW WILL MY JEWELRY BE PACKAGED? ★
Beautifully and ready for gifting! I ship my jewelry in pretty gift boxes tied with ribbon. Inside the box, your jewelry will be sealed in a small zip bag with a piece of anti-tarnish paper. I always include a receipt unless you ask me not to. A bubble mailing envelope is the final layer of protection. If it's a gift, I would be happy to include a personal note on a pretty little card. Just ask. :)
★ SHIPPING WITHIN THE USA ★
Orders within the US are shipped First-Class Mail and include tracking. When your order is shipped, you'll receive a shipping notification from Etsy which includes the tracking number. (These notifications like to hide in spam and junk mail folders so be sure to check there.)
★ SHIPPING OUTSIDE THE USA ★
I am currently not shipping internationally. Contact me for special consideration. If I agree, it is with the understanding that you will allow 90 days for your jewelry to arrive. Because of delays in Customs, I will not refund until 90 days has passed without receipt of your order. International orders are shipped using the method your country requires. When your order is shipped you will receive a shipping notification. Tracking is sometimes included, depending on the destination. PLEASE BE AWARE that you are responsible for any customs fees, duties, or taxes that your country may impose. Contact your local postal service or Customs agency for information regarding the possible charges.
Additional policies and FAQs
It's best not to get your silver jewelry wet. Chlorinated water, perfumes, lotions, hair spray, etc., can cause it to tarnish more quickly. Also, the chain clasp has a tiny steel spring inside that could rust and fail.
Please keep in mind that your computer monitor may show colors differently than mine. Because of this, I try to describe the color of beads or stones as accurately as possible.
I take all of my photos with a macro lens which makes the jewelry appear larger than it actually is. I always include measurements and a photo that shows scale. Please refer to an actual ruler to get a better idea of the size.
My jewelry is not intended for children. Many of my pendants are small and could be a choking hazard.

Frequently asked questions
Can I purchase a pendant without a chain?
Yes! Send me a message and I will be happy to add a 'No Chain' option to the listing for you. It will only reduce the cost by $7.00, though, because I deeply discount the chains when purchased with one of my handmade pendants.
Gift wrapping and packaging
Your jewelry will arrive packaged in a gift box tied with a ribbon, all ready to give to someone special, yourself included. :)
VAT is not included.
I do not collect VAT on international orders since I am in the US. Therefore it is not included in the purchase price of your jewelry. You will be notified by your government if any import taxes and/or handling fees are due.
