Prices

I'm into a good deal. Like, really into a good deal. And I just wouldn't feel good about myself if I wasn't offering you a good deal. And part of offering you the best price is that I usually don't use sterling silver. I like it-who doesn't?-but it's spendier. BUT, I do love using it, so if you'd like it on your piece, let me know and I'll gladly substitute sterling silver and let you know the price difference on that particular piece. Usually, it's about $2 extra per item.

And I do a flat 3 bucks for shipping. Buy as much as you like-still just 3 smackers.

Cheers!

Let's Talk Custom

Anything is possible! If you see something you like, but wish I had used a red bead instead of a pink one, let me know! I can switch things up and make it just right for you. Or, you've been thinking that golly, you sure wish you had a neon pink pair of earrings but just can't find what you're looking for in the store? While I can't promise, let's talk about it and maybe I can make just what you've been hoping for.

And do you know what I love best? I love to make something specially and specifically for you. I've had a number of orders where they said to me something along the lines of, "Hey, my sister is young, funky and loves bright colors" or, "My friend is modest and sweet and loves purple" and then I try to translate those adjectives into an earring. Then, I think it's cool that you can say to her, "Hey, I told the "jeweler" all about how you are this this and this, and these earrings are what she came up with." It's like you're wearing a jewelry incarnation of all your best qualities, or something. Anyway... Or, if you find a picture of something else you love, give me a shout, maybe I can duplicate it. (I'll definitely let you know if I can't.)

Ok, but the tricky thing with making a custom piece is that usually, in order to keep my prices low, I shop clearance. But if you want something very specific, chances are, I won't be able to find it on clearance. It's the nature of the beast. So, if you want a custom item, that's great! And I'm delighted to do it for you! But the price might not be exactly as cheap as my norm. You get what I'm sayin' here? Obviously, I'll still try to get you the best deal possible! Okay. Glad I got that off my chest.

Charmed, I'm sure!

I can add charms to whatever you like! Letter charms would be an additional $2. That's easy. But what if, say, you love fleur de lis and sea shells and cowboy boots and you'd just love to have some of them on your piece? Lemme know, I'll price it out for you and then I'll let you know how much extra it would be.

Mercedes

So there's a fun story about how these earrings came to be in existence. A friend requested a set of earrings for a new sister in law who she'd never met yet, BUT said sister-in-law did have a blog. So, I spied out her blog and tried to get a sense for who this gal is, and this is what I came up with. Chic, trendy, modern, clean lines. Mercedes. There you are.




Don't ask me why, but these photographed looking yellowish. They're not. They're greenish. The stone is called Olive Jade-so really, these aren't yellow. Why don't I fix it so it looks more true to it's real color? I don't really know how. Just trust me. This is a greenish stone-it's the same stone as I used in Sweet Celery, where it looks more green. Anyway...

$5

UPDATED: The new sister-in-law LOVED them!  She asked my friend how on earth she picked the perfect pair of earrings for her without ever meeting before.  Ahem.  I don't want to brag, but... :)
