5 out of 5 starsWowser! This is my first purchase from this shop and probably won't be last. What a fabulous statement necklace. I love amethyst druzy and I felt this was personally made with me in mind. What Christine did to set off this piece really compliments the stone. Thank you for creating such a lovely piece of jewellery.

5 out of 5 starsA delightful package of elements that, when combined, weave a darkly delicate atmosphere of earthy mystery. Everything was sturdily packaged and shipped quickly, and while I haven't finished the story yet, I love wearing the uniquely beautiful pendant. Thanks so much to a great seller!

Frequently asked questions
Care instructions
My work is finished with either a microcrystalline jeweler’s wax or a hypoallergenic top coat. These finishes finish will wear off over time and metals may darken, particularly when exposed to moisture like sweat or skin oil. A polishing cloth will usually bring back the original shine.
Sleepless Storyteller metals should not be exposed to chemicals or remain submerged in water. Remove your jewelry before washing dishes, bathing or showering, sleeping, swimming, or playing sports.
A quick note on skin discoloration; this can happen while wearing copper and brass, particularly rings. While I always take the precautions listed above to protect both metal and skin, please be aware that it is possible and outside my control.
Custom and personalized orders
I welcome the opportunity to collaborate with my customers to create a truly unique piece of jewelry. In some cases a custom order requires a non-refundable 50% deposit before work begins.
If your requested design requires the purchase of stones or metals not already in my inventory, the deposit is needed to cover these costs.
Gift wrapping and packaging
Each Sleepless Storyteller order includes a basic cardboard jewelry box, for both protection and presentation.
If your order is a gift and you require a special gift box or wrapping paper, I would be happy to help. But as this is not a standard service I provide, I need a little notice to ensure I can accommodate your request.
Please contact me before purchasing to make arrangements if you prefer any extra packaging.
Wholesale availability
If you own or represent a boutique interested in carrying a selection of Sleepless Storyteller designs, I would be delighted to hear from you.
I have consigned with local BC shops in the past and I am always interested in opportunities to offer my work in a storefront setting.
Ear hygiene commitment
If you've read my return exceptions, I'd like to elaborate on the point about intimate items. The item categories I don't accept returns on (apart from custom pieces) are Earrings and Ear Weights.
Many of my earrings are designed to be worn in or with modified piercings. As a modified person myself, I know the high hygiene standards expected in the body jewelry industry. So to guarantee that the earrings I sell have never been worn, I don't accept returns because I can't resell them.
In addition to this section and the return policy above, I include language about this ear hygiene commitment in every earring and ear weight listing.
Please don't hesitate to contact me with any and all questions.
Combined shipping
In the event of multiple orders placed within a 1-2 day window, to the same name and address, items will automatically be combined into one package for efficiency, unless otherwise requested. One less padded mailer means a smaller carbon footprint for your order. :)
If you place more than one order back-to-back with the same name and account, to the same mailing address and require the shipments to remain separate, please contact me and I would be happy to accommodate you.
