JEWELRY QUESTIONS

How do I measure my bracelet size?
Wrap a measuring tape around the wristbone lightly. Add one of the following sizes listed below to your measurement to determine the bracelet size you’ll need.
Add 1/2 inch for all wrist sizes 5 inches and under.
Add 3/4 inch for all wrist sizes 5.25 – 6.0 inches.
Add 1 inch for all wrist sizes 6.25 inches and up.

How is your jewelry produced?
All jewelry is handmade in my Michigan based studio by me. I only use high quality crystals, Vegan crystallized pearls, beads and metals in my jewelry creations. All metals are lead free and nickel free and safe for sensitive skin.

What are Vegan pearls?
Vegan pearls are lab created in a finishing process similar to the organic production of pearls. Several coats of “nacre” are applied to a unique crystal center of the pearl. This gradual build-up forms a velvety surface nearly indistinguishable from that seen in natural pearls, and warms to the skin just like fine South Seas pearls. However, unlike natural pearls, they are highly resistant to abrasion, UV radiation, and alcohol-based perfumes, for long-wearing, heirloom-quality jewelry. The production of Vegan pearls also avoids animal cruelty/killing and are environmentally safe.
Due to recent brand restrictions imposed by the manufacturer of the crystals and pearls I use in my jewelry, I can no longer disclose the brand name of these components in the marketing, promotion, or sales of my jewelry. Be assured nonetheless that nothing has changed, and I will continue to use only the finest quality materials.

Do you offer handstamped or engraving options?
Unfortunately, at this time I am not able to offer these services.
