Welcome to Metal Dove, hold onto your hats!
METAL DOVE is a Brighton based Metalsmith who creates unusual and fun necklaces, rings, brooches and earrings using copper, brass and eco silver (recycled). Welcome to my online jewellery shop!
I'm Ali, creator of Metal Dove. I work from my home studio by the sea and I've been on Etsy for a couple of years. I started out doing a night class in Metalworking and soon became obsessed with anything metal and the design ideas came flooding in. Metal has taken over my life and I couldn't be happier!
My collection on here is changing with more emphasis on eco silver and sustainability and I'm working towards the idea of zero waste in the way I work, from the metals I use to the recycled packaging. Metal Dove is also about affordability for my customers, a range of lovely products at different price points, gift ideas and beautiful hand made products is what I'm all about.
I'm currently working on my Eco Silver Collection alongside BESPOKE design requests so it's an exciting, busy time for Metal Dove despite the challenges Covid has brought to our world.
Inspiration for my pieces come from nature. I started with purely butterflies and now I've moved onto other animals and have some gorgeous leaf and twig designs in the works. I like to mix simple beauty with more playful, colourful designs hence my novelty rings. Also really love geometric design as it highlights the simple beauty of the metal itself. I guess you could say I'm exploring my designer identity at the moment, it's quite a whirlwind.
Buying from Metal Dove offers the full gift experience. Everything comes in a cute box with logo, I want my jewellery to look awesome from the moment you open the jiffy bag, it's a treat whether it's for you or for someone you love.
If you have any BESPOKE design requests please convo me, for example any of my brass or copper designs can also be made in sterling silver. I also do wedding rings in recycled silver or gold. Am totally open to design thoughts and here to help you turn your idea into something that makes you want to do a little dance when you put it on.

Privacy
To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorised Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information (for a custom order, for example), if you contact me directly.
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:
* As needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
* When you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;
* If necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
* As necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. 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.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
* Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy 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.
* Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
* Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

I may store and process your information through third-party hosting services in the US and other jurisdictions. As a result, I may transfer your personal information to a jurisdiction with different data protection and government surveillance laws than your jurisdiction. If I am deemed to transfer information about you outside of the EU, I rely on Privacy Shield as the legal basis for the transfer, as Google Cloud is Privacy Shield certified.
Your Rights
If you reside in certain territories, including the EU, you have a number of rights in relation to your personal information. While some of these rights apply generally, certain rights apply only in certain limited cases. I describe these rights below:
* Access. You may have the right to access and receive a copy of the personal information I hold about you by contacting me using the contact information below.

* 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.
