Beautiful! I ordered a custom bracelet is a gift for my sister and is exactly what I was looking for! I can't wait to give it to her. There was a little hiccup with USPS tracking system (nothing to do with this shop), but the shop owner was incredibly attentive to making sure everything worked out. Couldn't be happier.

Welcome to ThunderCrafts. Here you will find all the little details about purchasing that you may be wondering about while sifting through my store. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Accepted payment methods

Accepts Etsy Gift Cards and Etsy Credits

Returns and exchanges

Refunds and exchanges will always be considered on a case by case basis, contact me to discuss your situation.

If your jewelry becomes damaged in some way, contact me and I should be able to repair it.

Payment

I prefer Etsy payment but also accept paypal.

I will ship purchases after payment has cleared.

If you want to upgrade any item you are buying, message me and wait until I adjust the price and let you know or send an invoice before you make your payment.

Shipping

General Shipping: I ship via USPS every day that the Post Office is open. Most items are packaged and shipped out within 3-5 business days unless my shop announcement says otherwise. My standard shipping is USPS first class which should take 2-6 days for delivery. I'm willing to offer upgrades to quicker shipping if needed, but most customers find it too cost prohibitive.

I will ship to the address submitted through Etsy unless otherwise contacted before I ship.

If you are charged more for shipping than the shipping process actually costs me you will receive a refund via your method of payment.

Overseas shipping: It is expensive, but I still offer it. Be advised that customs can delay packages by up to 6 weeks (not often but it does occasionally happen).

Gift Wrap: If you would like an item gift wrapped and sent directly to a recipient I'm happy to accommodate. For now I'm happy to be able to offer this service at no extra charge.

Additional policies and FAQs

Custom orders: I love them! If you like something that you see, but would like it to be a little different, send me a message and I will gladly make you a custom piece.

Chainmaille FAQ:
Q: What is chainmaille?
A: Chainmaille is small metal rings linked together in a pattern to form a mesh or fabric. It was historically used for armor but in modern times is also being used for jewelry as you can see here.

Q: How is chainmaille made?
A: I use pliers to bend open rings, link the rings together, then bending the rings closed again. Every single ring is opened, linked to other rings, and closed by hand. The sizing of the rings and the way in which you link them to other rings determines the weave of the maille.

Q: What are those little cracks in the rings?
A: Those cracks are called closures. Each ring has to have a slit where it can be opened and then closed again to link to the other rings and form the weave.
Q: Is it really all made one ring at a time?
A: Yes!

Q: But doesn’t that take forever?
A: It can. Some of the more simple weaves can go fairly quickly, but the more complex the weave and the smaller the rings the longer it takes. For this reason you may notice somewhat higher prices than you might find at more traditional jewelry makers. Chainmaille is a very time intensive art.

Q: Why are the prices so high?
A: It can take forever! Even for highly practiced and skilled chainmaille artists a lot of time goes into every weave.
