5 out of 5 starsThese earrings are just lovely and the craftsmanship is superb. Melissa always packages her items supremely well and they arrive promptly. This order was a special treat to open because it was wrapped beautifully in tissue paper, decoratively taped and tied with string. Her attention to detail is apparent in her work and presentation. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

5 out of 5 starsThis is an awesome ring! The quality is very good and the wire band is super cool. Also, the antique-y oval button is understated enough, to not be ostentatious, but yet stylish enough to be classy. The ring sizing appears true to form, so measure your finger accurately and select your size. The shop shipped the ring right on time. My expectations were met!

5 out of 5 starsThese are great rings. They arrived quickly and safely. They are a little bigger than I pictured but still quite cool.

Creating Happiness!
My mind and hands have been busy creating, gluing, cutting, and coloring for as long as I can remember. Growing up in Western PA, I was fortunate to have a neighbor teach me various crafts, and a family to encourage my creativity.
I started creating jewelry about 17 years ago as a simple, weekend hobby and began selling and gifting pieces to family and friends. I set it all aside when life became too busy, but held on to the supplies...just in case. The creativity bug hit me again in 2011 so I pulled out the craft bins, perused my design books and, after lots of encouragement from my husband, I opened my Etsy shop.
For an organized person, my creating style is certainly not. I tend to pull out lots of supplies, placing small piles on my work table while I go about working on other projects. I look everything over multiple times to see what design or combination may come to mind and then go from there. I truly enjoy giving myself little challenges when designing new things or attempting new processes. Creating is such a calming and gratifying experience, and I can't imagine life with out it.
All of my products are and will always be handmade by me in a pet friendly, smoke-free home. I also take my own pictures in natural light - yes, even here in Seattle! :-)
Much appreciation and thanks goes to my family, friends, and my past, present and future customers for supporting this handmade artist. Without you and your encouragement, Ring of Wire would not exist.
Thank you for visiting my shop!

Returns and exchange details
If your package arrives damaged:
Since my packages ship with insurance, please contact me as soon as you can and let me know if your item has been damaged in transit. If possible, take pictures of the damage to send to me, and I will follow-up with next steps.
For items lost, damaged or stolen, I need to file a USPS claim for reimbursement. You may need to fill in and submit an official form to USPS so that I can resend / refund costs.
If you are not satisfied with your purchase:
Please contact me on Etsy so that I can work on the issue. If I cannot fix the issue, the item(s) must be returned within 7 days of receipt in the same condition it was received, securely packaged, and shipped using online tracking as I cannot refund lost items. Once received, I will refund your purchase amount minus the original shipping charge. Cost of return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer.
Refunds are processed through the same way you purchased your order. Keep in mind that credit cards and bank debit cards have differing time frames as to how long it takes for them to apply the refund to your account. Please check directly with them if you have any timing concerns.
CUSTOM ORDERS: No returns
*NOTE*
For hygienic purposes, all earrings are non-refundable/non-returnable.
Payment
Shipping
**DOMESTIC SHIPPING**
Within the U.S., all purchases are shipped via USPS Priority Flat Rate shipping with free Delivery Confirmation and Insurance. Normally, I will send ready-to-ship items within 1-3 days of payment receipt. If you have a custom order, the shipping time frame may be different so I will communicate with you to let you know when your item will be sent.
IMPORTANT: Please contact me if you have any questions regarding large quantity orders requiring an upgrade to the size of the shipping box as additional charges may apply.
**INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING**
All International orders are sent via USPS First Class International Mail. Normally, I will send ready-to-ship items within 1-3 days of payment receipt. If you have a custom order, the shipping time frame may be different so I will communicate with you to let you know when your item(s) will be sent.
Allow 2 to 6 weeks for package arrival, while in some areas, this may take even longer. Please do not ask that your merchandise be marked as a 'gift' on the customs form. It cannot be done. A false, misleading, or incomplete declaration can result in the seizure or return of the item and/or criminal or civil penalties for the seller AND the buyer. Basically, it's illegal.
Some countries will apply additional customs fees/taxes/handling, VAT charges on imported packages, depending on your country’s import limits. These charges are not included in the item price/shipping cost.
Also, some countries prohibit the shipment of specific items so be aware of your country's list of materials that can and cannot be shipped. Once shipped I have no control over delays or confiscation at customs.
*NOTE*
I will keep you updated on when your item(s) will ship, and send you tracking details. If you do not receive your package in a reasonable amount of time, please track the package. If nothing shows on the tracking, contact me and I will work with you to resolve any issues.
Additional policies and FAQs
Proper care and storage of any type of jewelry or accessory will help prolong the life and maintain the beauty of your piece.
- Clean with a soft cloth.
- Do not wear in water and remove before sleeping.
- Do not spray directly with perfumes or other sprays or chemicals.
RINGS: Most rings can be rewired to any size from 1 to 14 at no additional charge, but please note that that doing so may slightly change the appearance of the item as it's currently depicted in the photos. Any rings that can not be resized are noted as such in the product's description section.
Should your ring arrive and not be sized properly, please contact me. Most can be quickly resized whereas custom requests may take some time. The only cost to you would be for shipping.
I use a number of vintage/antique buttons for the rings so I would advise removing the ring before getting your hands/fingers wet. This will maintain the beauty and look of your ring. I also mainly use 'plated' (gold, silver...) materials that may alter in color with wear and general environmental substances.
EARRINGS: For hygienic purposes, all earrings are non-refundable/non-returnable.
POLYMER CLAY PRODUCTS: Polymer clay is lightweight and durable but can break if not handled with care. Please do not bend. It can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Catch-all dishes are designed as decorative items and are not intended or suitable for food use.
My jewelry and accessories are created for adults as many items have small, delicate pieces not suitable for children.
If you have any questions, concerns, or issues regarding a transaction, please contact me directly. Customer service is very important to me. I value my ETSY customers, and I also want you to have a great ETSY shopping experience.

Why I Need Your Information and How I Use It:
I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:

I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.

- Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.

- Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
- Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
