Welcome to Metalicious fine jewelry to express your unique style.
🏳️🌈 Everyone is welcome here. ❤️
💍 Unique engagement rings, wedding bands and birthstone jewelry handcrafted for non-binary, women and men. All my jewelry is made from 100% recycled metals and ethically sourced gemstones.
🏙 All my work is handmade in my studio in NYC and I offer FREE shipping within the US.
I realize in this age of Amazon that it's expected to have something ship out immediately, however I'm a very small business and make each piece by hand. I can't afford to keep many pieces in stock. So please make sure you read the description, or better yet, ask me-- if you are unsure when your piece will ship out. I'm happy to chat with you!
I have been metalsmithing for over 20 years and all of my jewelry is made one at a time in my studio in NYC. Since everything is handmade it is all unique and original. If you'd like to set up an appointment for custom wedding bands or engagement rings either virtually or at my studio please send me a message. :-)

5 out of 5 starsI am a repeat customer and when I saw the word FEARLESS on the signet ring knew it would be perfect. I wanted to mark making it through hurricane Ian here in Florida. The ring has a nice heavy weight to it and is comfortable on my finger. Thank you again for a beautifully crafted piece of jewelry. It is always a pleasure doing business with you.

4 out of 5 starsMy husband and I went shopping at a number of jewelry stores and, as we went to more and more, formed a very definite idea of what his ring would look like, but none of the them had exactly what he wanted. So, we went to Etsy. We found this style, but made a custom order for 6mm and a special size. The final product is the perfect style for him. I took one star off as it was already scratched in several places within the first day of wearing it and that was a bit disappointing. We aren’t sure how it will hold up, it may have tons of “character” in short order.

Unique heirloom quality jewelry handmade in NYC
In 1995 I was in a boring job and was desperate for some creative challenges where I could use my hands. I took myself to the local art school but the pottery class I was interested in was full. Hmm. The only thing left was a metalsmithing class. So I hammered my heart out and have never looked back. I still have what looks like a tin-can I forged from copper sitting on my jewelry bench. It reminds me how close I came to missing out on my true calling as a jeweler. You won't find anything mass-produced here, it all starts with my own heart and hands and is ethically handcrafted in my NYC studio.
I'm so thankful every day to be able to do what I love to pay my bills. I'm grateful to the Etsy community and my clients for always supporting me.
To me being an ethical company is more than just the materials I use, it’s about mindset. Metalicious is an eco-conscious company so I use reclaimed/recycled fine metals and ethically sourced gemstones in my work. I also use green practices in running my business as much as possible from the copy paper I use to the recyclable shipping mailers. I hire local artists and businesses to help the economy in my community and together we create a business that gives back. Each year I donate a percent of my profits to City Harvest, a local organization that brings healthy, free food to the communities in NYC that need it the most. As a wife and mom, raising 2 boys in the city, I work hard to leave as small a footprint in the ecosystem as I can and hope I can be a positive example for my kids for a better future.
Jewelry is my true passion, I love creating things that bring joy to people, that represent milestones, that make people laugh. Working with people to make jewelry that brings them joy makes my work complete. Having created a small business that can give back and stand for something other than making stuff for the sake of stuff is what it’s all about for me.

All orders are ready for gifting. Every Metalicious piece of jewelry comes in a customized gift box.

CANADA: I will ship your item for via USPS Regular mail and it includes tracking. I cannot control how long it will take to get through customs or if it gets lost. I am not responsible for lost or stolen packages. I am not responsible for paying additional taxes or tariffs imposed by customs, as I have no control over whether your country will charge duty or not. You can check here to estimate what the duty will be: https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-voyage/dte-acl/est-cal-eng.html

Additional policies and FAQs
IS YOUR ITEM A GIFT? Etsy will let you add a different address when you check out. Instead of an invoice I will include a personalized message from you to the recipient, enter whatever you'd like me to write in the 'notes to seller' when you check out.
CLEANING YOUR JEWELRY:
Over time soap and lotion can get trapped behind your stones, causing them to look dark or dingy. Here's an article I'm featured in about cleaning your ring: http://www.glamour.com/story/how-to-clean-engagement-ring and we now offer an organic cleaning kit here: https://etsy.me/2wYkqDj
PACKAGING:
Every Metalicious jewel comes in a gift box, depending upon the size and style of jewelry you purchase will dictate what kind of box I use to package up my work. If you have any questions, please let me know.
SIZING:
If you're concerned about what your finger size is, I'm now offering these ring sizers in my Etsy shop. You keep your set and I have a set in my studio to make sure any rings I make for you will fit you perfectly. http://etsy.me/1OKH5Qo
IS YOUR JEWELRY PLATED?
No, plating will wear off over time, leaving an uneven finish on your rings. None of my jewelry is plated.
IS YOUR WHITE GOLD NICKEL-FREE?
Yes. I use a special alloy of white gold that has palladium in it instead of nickel (which many people are allergic to). The color is a darker gray than silver, but still very white so that none of my white gold rings need to be plated. I take great care in every aspect of my jewelry, choosing the metals is certainly at the top of the list.
FAQ:
Q: Can you recycle the metal from my jewelry into your work?
A: I'm so sorry, but at this time I can't.
Q: Can you use my gemstones in your designs?
A: Due to the liability involved I do not use customer supplied stones in my jewelry.
Q: What is recycled silver?
A: Recycled sterling silver means that the metals I use in my work have been refined from old jewelry and turned back into usable precious metals instead of mined from the earth. My metal suppliers purchase their fine metals from a refiner who gets jewelry that has been sold for scrap, melts it down and purifies it so that it's the same as traditionally alloyed sterling silver made from mined fine silver. There is much less impact on the earth which is very important to me.
Q: Do you sell wholesale?
A: Yes, please contact me for more information.
Q: How do I convert my International ring size to US ring size?
A: Use this ring size conversion chart: http://www.onlineconversion.com/ring_size.htm
