Handmade sterling silver jewellery inspired by by melissapedersen

In 2009 I graduated from the Alberta College of Art & Design, I left with not only a fine arts degree (with Jewellery as my major!) but also with a strong sense of direction for my art and business. I love making jewellery, loosing track of time in my studio getting all caught up in the process and little details. In my sleep I dream about future designs, many times I wake up and need to grab my sketch book before I forget! Oh, and I am a tool junkie, my studio is well equipped to tackle most goldsmithing jobs.

Argentium sterling silver is my favorite material to work with, it is the same silver content as traditional sterling silver but it has great fusibility properties and stays cleaner as I work.

As a stay at home mom (my boys are 5, 4 and 2) my studio is my outlet, my time to unwind get creative. I love being able to be with my boys all day, they are incredibly energetic and so much fun, but when nap times comes around you can find me eagerly working on my jewellery business.

I fill every role of the business myself from the original design and making the jewellery to photographing and shipping!

I have started a second shop featuring a new fashion jewellery line handmade from upcycled bicycle and motorcycle inner tube. To check it out visit Lively Leaf Designs https://www.etsy.com/shop/LivelyLeafDesigns?ref=l2-shopheader-name

All my jewellery comes packaged in its own gift box or pretty organza pouch ready for gift giving. All my jewellery will arrive cleaned and polished, every ear wire has been cleaned after the model wears them for the pictures. I include a business card and information about the artist (me!) so that whomever receives the gift knows its handmade and from the heart! Unless noted in the individual item description, each item I have photographed is the actual jewellery item you will receive. My jewellery is ready to be shipped as soon as I receive payment, and will be in the mail within 1 - 3 days.

Orders under $70 (Canadian $) - I ship in the regular mail. Packages should arrive within 5 business days to Canada, 14 to the US. International deliveries vary. Please note this method is not trackable or insurable.

Orders $70 - $100 - I feel it is important to trace packages in the price range. I cover roughly half the cost of this shipping through (Expresspost to Canada, tracked small pack to the US)

Orders over $100 - include free shipping to Canada and the United States through Canada Post Expresspost or US tracked small pack. Please use coupon code FREESHIPPING at check out if you are purchasing item(s) over $100 for no shipping cost!

Please send me a message if you wish to upgrade your shipping for orders under $70 outside of Canada, or if you are an international customer. I use Canada Post Expresspost which provides a tracking number, insurance and guaranteed delivery time.

International customers please be aware that you will be required to pay any taxes, duties and customs fees which may apply to your respective countries. Also if shipping is considerably less then charged I will refund the difference to your paypal account. US customers, please also be aware about unpredictable boarder crossing times!
