7. Personalization Questions:

❉ Oops, a name was spelled wrong.
If I spelled it wrong, I will ship a new name with big apologies! If you provided a mis-spelled name, you can re-purchase the name portion. Please double check spelling!

*Note: due to chain cost, only the name on ‘Name Necklaces’ will be remade. I will provide instructions to swap name.

❉ Why does more letters cost more?
Longer names use more materials & take more time to be made right first try. With my price formula buyers only pay the highest price when needed, vs ALL the time.

❉ Your names are all lowercase, can I get uppercase?
The FIRST letter can be capitalized, must state 'Capitalize first letter' in the personalize box. Otherwise, my style is all lowercase ;). I cannot make special characters.

8. Sometimes buyers fail to provide personalization information…

❉ If this happens, I will message via Etsy Convo’s and/or email.

• If a bead/wire color is missing, I may make the choice for you.
I will contact you once, stating the color I will use & when I will make the order. If you do not respond by that date, I will make the choice for you. It will ship within stated processing time. No refunds or credits will be issued if you are unhappy with the choice made.

• If I require a name or specific information that I cannot choose for you, I will attempt to contact you three times. Shipping may be delayed beyond the stated processing time. If I do not receive a response, your order will be canceled & refunded in full.

❉ Please turn notifications on to avoid delays or cancellation of your order.

9. About Wire Expressions & the Artist

❉ My name is Kristi. I have been bending wire for over 20 years. What I make is an expression of my creativity, when you purchase Wire Expressions from me, it then becomes an expression as you wear it, use it or give it away.

Each item is handmade without a jig therefore slight variations in size or shape may occur from one similar piece to another. Tool marks may be slightly visible on some pieces. This is not considered a defect.

❉ Jewellery Care:
All the information you need to know about cleaning & caring for Wire Expressions Sterling Silver Jewellery and other wire items is found here: www.wireexpressions.ca

❉ Wire Expressions contains small parts and may have sharp or rough edges and therefore is not suitable for young children.
