About jgrumbling
Jewelry, where have you been all my life?
Over the years I've tried my hand at making jewelry from the findings you can get at the local craft store, mostly for gifts. Then, while planning my daughter's wedding in 2008, we couldn't find exactly what she wanted for her bridesmaids' jewelry at an affordable price. Once again I headed to the craft store and bought a supply of Swarovski crystals in her chosen colors and sterling findings to make five sets of matching necklaces and earrings. They were certainly not perfect, especially since I had no idea what to do with that very frightening straight end of those head pins holding the crystals. How was I supposed to attach them to the ear wires and chains? Somehow, I made it work and I still get excited when I see one of the girls wearing her jewelry.
I spent almost another year toying with the idea of making jewelry, knowing that I needed something creative to do after years of working as a bookseller. Slowly, I began collecting glass beads and more sterling findings (and learning what to do with those head pins!) and created a few pieces, listing my very first items on Etsy on April Fool's Day, 2009. What better day is there to start a business you're not sure you belong in?
So, what you see in my shop today is the result of a very slow process, making sales here and there and graduating from the dining table to an actual studio created in one end of a fortunately large laundry room, and now to a whole room dedicated to jewelry making. I've taught myself to solder and make my own findings whenever possible, and expanded my bead collection to include natural stones and pearls as well as beautiful glass and ceramic beads. I buy sterling, gold-fill and copper wire and chain in bulk, and seldom step into a generic craft store anymore, preferring to haunt my local bead store or shop for great beads and stones from other Etsy sellers.

Shop policies
My gift packaging, included with all purchases, originally consisted of recycled favor tins from my daughter's wedding, tied with a pretty ribbon. Although the recycled tins are all gone, they’re still my preferred packaging. Some items I make are too bulky to fit inside the tins comfortably, but they will still be nicely packaged for gift giving.
I will attempt to use recycled mailing materials whenever possible and I hope that you will reuse or recycle the packaging that you receive with your purchase.
Accepted payment methods
Returns and exchanges
If you need to return an item for repair, please contact me to make arrangements (and I'll pay to ship it back to you!).
Items lost in shipment will be refunded or replaced with similar merchandise, but may require extra time to recreate, depending on availability of materials.
Payment
I reserve the right to ask for a deposit or full payment in advance on custom orders once we have agreed upon a price. This will cover my cost in materials and insure that you get the quality items you desire. Thank you for understanding.
Shipping
Insurance is included on all shipments, regardless of type of service selected.
Please note the estimated processing and shipping times listed for each item.
For international shipments, I ship all items via Etsy calculated shipping, so you pay the actual shipping fee for your destination and type of service. Customs forms will be filled out specifying the type of merchandise being shipped. The customer is responsible for any duties or tariffs incurred for shipments to countries outside the United States. Please understand that neither Etsy nor I have any means of estimating, collecting, or submitting these fees to the destination country.
If your purchase is a gift that you would like to have shipped to an address other than the one on your Etsy account, please make a note in the "message to seller"
when placing your order.
