Robin Gilmore
Owner
Robin Gilmore’s Made in Bridgeport jewelry collection is creative and innovative, as she transforms everyday found objects into beautiful wearable works of art. Her imaginative work is developed from recycled, repurposed, and broken parts and pieces from objects found on the street, at thrift stores, salvaged hardware shops, vintage jewelry donations and from years of collecting things that are meaningful and unusual. Robin’s creative designs are often complimented as true statement pieces and are intriguing and fun to wear. Many of the pieces she creates are real works of art, amulets that become “Modern Myths”, storytelling that is humorous, sentimental and insightful. Made in Bridgeport is Robin’s way of melding her vision and the roots of her art making with her history and the city of Bridgeport Connecticut’s Industrial Evolution. She currently runs workshops in found art and jewelry making, assemblage and weekend workshops in creating altars and shrines. Her work is for sale at many up and coming art shows and festivals. Look for announcements and locations near you. Also featured on this eetsy shop areher creations Assemblage Storytelling Art Pieces.

Payment
*If you would like to pay by personal check, keep in mind that getting your locket might take some time, as I will not ship it until your check has successfully been deposited into my bank account, so I know the check will not bounce.
Trades/Barters with other Etsy shop owners: I do accept trades for things from other shops sometimes, and I like to keep it all kosher and go through Etsy. Please feel free to message me if you would like to discuss an offer.
Shipping
I ship items First Class Mail through the United States Post Office. This keeps the costs down for everyone. I do not provide insurance on my items, but I do include delivery confirmation (U.S. customers only) for myself so that I know you received your package. (This I will count as proof if a customer claims they did not receive their purchase).
For U.S. Customers: First Class Mail usually arrives within 4-6 days from the date of shipment, but if you want insurance or rush delivery, send me a message and I'll try to work it out, and let you know any extra costs involved. Please also do not blame me for late mail, as I ship quickly, but I simply cannot help the post office's tardiness.
2-3 Day Priority shipping costs $6.10, and 1 day rush delivery costs $18.95. These are the U.S. Post Office's shipping prices, and I make absolutely no profit off of what I charge for shipping. *****If you need rushed delivery, please message me BEFORE you check out, as I will need to change the shipping cost of the item and reserve it for you.
SHIPPING FREQUENCY: I ship withinn 1-3 days but mostly next day and I send it out to you.
***PLEASE PLEASE check to make sure that the mailing address you give me is correct. I cannot be responsible for something that is lost in the mail if the wrong address was given to me.
