FAQs
-
each piece is handcrafted from start to finish, no two are alike, and each will have its own unique qualities —small marks and scratches that come naturally from the slow art of metalsmithing. these are not intended to be 'perfect', but instead raw and natural expressions.

handmade jewelry takes many steps and goes slow. the cost of materials and tools (sterling silver and gold are at an all time high), time and energy designing and creating each piece — sawing, texturing, sanding, soldering, polishing, stone setting, the list goes on. then there's time photographing and making listings, marketing work, fees for email, website, etc, and the years of skillbuilding. i'm proud of my creations. this is all shown in the price of my work — i understand it can be an investment, but i craft every piece with the hope it will be with you forever.

i will happily repair my own pieces. i create my work with a lot of care and intention, and they are built to last —but I am human and things do happen. i also understand they will go great places with you, and may need a little extra love down the line. please contact me to discuss repairs and price quotes, these will be assessed on a case by case basis. if an item was damaged during transit, please contact me within 7 days of arrival. i do not repair pieces that are not my own.

the easiest way is to go into a local jewelry shop and have them size it for you. you can also do it yourself by using online guides such as www.findmyringsize.com

most rings with stones cannot be resized, and necklace chains cannot be made longer. however there are exceptions, so please reach out with questions specific to an item. if it’s possible on that piece, there will be an extra charge for ring resizing (between $20-60).
on some necklaces, i can add a chain extender and will do so free of charge - please reach out to me for details. depending on the width of the ring band, some may fit more loosely or snug than their factual size. this will always be noted in the item listing to ensure you have the best info when purchasing.
