5 out of 5 starsThis is my second ring from Untwisted Sister and I am in love. I purchased my first years ago, wore it every day, never tarnished, never warped, amazing quality. But I lost it after 10 years! This new one seems to be exactly the same quality and the perfect replacement.

A new stone on the wheel
Designing jewelry for todays casual style inspired by nature
It is an honor to sell a piece of jewelry which I designed and made with my 2 hands from start to finish. I am addicted to rocks and in love with my torch. My workbench and studio is my favorite place to be and I hope the joy I get there shows in the jewelry I make.
I begin making my jewelry from the ground up. I hand select slabs of rocks from all over the world, which I cut, shape and polish into cabochons. Some are included in my own jewelry and some I sell to other talented jewelry makers.
I am proud to be a one-woman shop and that I hand fabricate all my designs myself and follow FTC guidelines for handmade.
I occaisonally teach wire wrapping at the local Bead Store here (IslandBeadCompany.com ) and am grateful to them for the opportunity. I have met so many wonderful students and together we've created many 'happy accidents'.
I use only Sterling Silver and 14K gold filled and the occasional copper for my jewelry. I'm also getting brave enough to add a lilttle 14K solid gold to my pieces. I want my pieces to last you a lifetime.
As of 7/18/17 I have started a second shop (as of 5/18/18. I still do not have it up and running) for selling mini-slabs and cabochons from my personal collection. It will take a while to get it full so keep checking for some awesome lapidary materials I will be adding. RockNstones4u.etsy.com
I hope you've enjoyed a little glimpse into my home studio where UntwistedSister's jewelry is created. Read more here: http://www.etsy.com/people/Untwistedsister?ref=pr_profile

Returns and exchange details
RETURNS: I do accept returns for all items except custom made and a few made to order items in either very small or very large sizes. Non defective returns will incur a restocking fee of up to 15%. plus a $5.00 fee. Shipping to seller is paid by the buyer.
VAT tax and any fees due on international shipments are collected by YOUR country and may be due upon receipt by you in your country. Etsy does collect some of those fees from the buyer at time of purchase.
Item must be sent for return within 14 days of receipt and you must notify me through etsy within 48 hrs of receipt and ship with delivery confirmation. Contact me through Etsy please, from any listing page or use the email on your receipt. Time to return on items purchased for gifts begins when the gift is given IF you give me a date when purchasing (SEE BELOW).
DEFECTIVE MERCHANDISE:
is eligible for full refund with proof of defect. Return of the item will be at seller's discretion.
Domestic returns should be made by USPS First class mail with tracking and insurance and will be refunded up to $6.00 shipping. Insurance can be purchased at Insurepost.com for a reduced rate over the USPS insurance.
REFUNDS: are made after receipt of the returned item. I want you to be happy with my jewelry. Please let me know if the item is a gift and the date you expect to deliver the gift and I will make an adjustment for the return time.
INSURANCE: I do insure most packages through a 3rd party insurer. In order to refund or replace an item not received the insurer has certain requirements including: "The recipient, or for loss claims, the intended recipient, MUST assist in the claims process. They must sign an affidavit stating damage or non receipt". Therefore, as I'm sure you understand, I will need your cooperation and will be more than happy to refund/replace for lost in the mail merchandise when I have the affidavit from you. They also require that the recipient keep all packaging for damaged goods and may require photos. There may be a waiting period for lost packages. Thank you for your cooperation should the unthinkable happen. Should a lost package be refunded and later show delivered, I expect either the item returned to me or payment.
