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.

Red Rover, Red Rover

 send this bracelet right over...






and the earrings, too while you're at it...

Mo'Cocoa

I actually made this for two different people as gifts this Christmas.  It's lovely.  Just lovely.  A camera can't capture the beautiful hue of these beads.  Soft, velvety cocoa with a warm honey undertone.  Plus triple chunky strands?  Please. 



They Key to my (Slightly Gothic) Heart

So one of my friends contacted me before Christmas and said, "Ok.  So I have this sister in law who I have NO IDEA what to get.  I'm hoping that I can tell you a little bit about her and then you can develop something that would fit."  Yes!  Fun!  It worked out pretty well the last time we did that, (same girl!) so we thought we'd try again. 


She said, "Make it a little goth, a little darkish or edgy, and the girl likes vampires."  BUT my friend the gift giver didn't want it to be SO wild or crazy that SHE would be embarrassed to give it.

Well?  How do you think I did?

Favorite Things


I made these cute things for a "Favorite Things" party, where you're supposed to give away something that's your favorite... so I did earrings because I love jewelry and I love to make jewelry.  Problem is, I finished these like right before the party, but I REALLY wanted to keep them for myself.  Then, the gal who got them, I see QUITE frequently and she's wearing them QUITE frequently.  It plagued me for some time.  I finally made my own.  I love them.  They go with everything.  They feel hip.  AND they tinkle a little bit when they move.  LOVE!
