4 out of 5 starsBottom line is, the necklace is now what we wanted and it's beautiful. It had to be redone because of a design fault and it took a very, very long time (to send it twice). I understand that it is a difficult time with Covid, but I would have appreciated to get updates at least.

3 out of 5 starsThis was a frustrating purchase. I ordered these earrings on June 17 hoping to get them in time for July 4. I didn't and that's fine. I didn't ask first. I got them on July 10. They're the wrong color. I messaged Olya that in the picture they are navy blue so I bought them to go with a navy blue dress. I sent a picture of the earrings on the dress to show the earrings I received are blue green and definitely not navy blue. She was very professional and gracious and offered to send another pair when she got back from a 5- week vacation. Fair enough. I messaged her twice more, in September and October, and I did get a second pair of earrings today (October 13), but they are the same blue green color, just dark and light patterning reversed. They are pretty, but I'm so disappointed they aren't the color advertised in the listing.

How colorful jewelry can bring color to life...
oBo Creations is a story about discovering hidden talent. I never studied to be a jewelry designer; I may have always liked contemporary design and colorful items, but I hardly envisioned sometime making it myself. I started crafting as a way to take my mind off of my day job, which can sometimes be overwhelming. My first creation was an Easter egg painted in bright colors, and I liked it so much that, while searching for other things to paint, I soon turned my attention to beads and jewelry.
I quickly became hooked. No matter how tiring my day job, I still spent endless hours after work searching online for shapes and components to create the design I had in mind, and then to paint them.
My signature style is bright vibrant colors of my jewelry. While it looks like enamel jewelry in fact i use very different process. My secret is special paint that creates a special effect on the surface when it dries. On big pieces it appears as magical honeycomb pattern with shades of color, on small pieces it creates amazing uneven tone as if it shimmers from within. I apply it by hand on each piece and then i add a thick dome of glaze that gives the color further dimension and 3-d illusion. One cannot get that with traditional enamel. A lot of people asked me if the final result is "glass" or "gemstones" actually.
There is so much more to oBo Creations then simply making the jewelry - i had to learn macro-photography, graphic design to create online banners and logos, scrap booking (to decorate my packaging), presentation at at creative exhibitions that i really enjoy doing etc, etc etc. So much to do with so little time! My husband helps me a lot. This whole enterprise would be impossible without his help and most importantly support and encouragement.
All in all discovering my passion for jewelry-making and starting oBo Creations has enormously enriched my life. I am very proud of what I have accomplished and that I do it in addition to being a lawyer. It is not easy to keep up this combination, but I am determined to make it work.
Please visit my website and blog www.obocreations.com to learn more how i manage to do it all!

Shipping
If you need item urgently please send me a convo upon order.
I ship abroad with FRENCH POST (and Swiss Post for orders within Switzerland).
I sent to USA or EUROPE or any other country (except Switzerland) with PRIORITY AIR MAIL with TRACKING.
Approximate delivery time is
- EU - 3-4 days
- USA , Canada, Australia -7-15 days
- Russia, China, Brazil - 10-30 days
However sometimes it may take longer depending on the season. So i recommend to order at least an additional week in advance on top of above timings if you order for speific occasion and especially if it is a busy season like Christmas.
Any TAXES or CUSTOMS duties to be paid for the import in your country are your responsibility.
I indicate TRUE VALUE on the postage.
if you order from SWITZERLAND i will send you with Post Pac Priority or Priority Mail (depending on what you order) WITHOUT tracking since Swiss post has proved to be really reliable and tracking seems to be very expensive. If you would like to have tracking - let me know.
Delivery time within Switzerland is 1 day.
Additional policies and FAQs
- My jewelry comes in gift packaging - either a samll box or small flat endvelope depending on whether the item may be packed flat. It will come inside a bubble envelope. As of mid October i will use Christmas themed packaging. If you mind that let me know.
If you do not want packaging and prefer me to save the paper for environmental reasons - let me know.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
While my jewelry is not particularly fragile or vulnerable it does require usual level of care as most of jewelry items to keep you happy long time: Make sure you keep it away from sunlight when storing, avoid too harsh tearing of chains. You do not need to take the ring off when you wash your hands.Yet never never leave the jewelry in the humid place. If the metal part gets yellowish or loose shimmer you can polish it with a polish cloth (e.g. Sunshine polish cloth that can easily be found on Etsy or elsewhere)
