Jewelry: We ship in padded bubble mailers at the minimum, and most jewelry comes gift packaged. We ship USPS, and the rates shown are straight from USPS, calculated based on the weight and size of your order.

Printed goods: Those are also live rates based on what you order, and exactly what we are charged. (No profit on shipping, cross my heart.)

International: We try to ship everywhere possible, whenever possible. Sometimes, the shipping rates are mind-boggingly high, even by our standards. We had a choice between padding the product prices with shipping costs to lower the rate shown on the cart, or keep product prices true, and show actual shipping rates. We decided to do the latter; it’s more fair to everyone, and honest. 

If you have an idea you think would lend itself well to my style, by all means, drop me a line via the contact form below! If it’s something that resonates, you’ll likely see my twist and take on it someday!

However, traditional commission work, the kind where you give me an idea of your own design and desire, and then pay me to make it, requires a tremendous investment of time and materials. The prices I’d ask for this service are considerably higher than most people want to pay, and the significant time investment required also prevents me from working on the (ever growing) list of my own designs. While I highly respect the jewelers and designers with the skill set to successfully coordinate bespoke/commission orders, I am not one of those jewelers. I would take a financial loss on commission work so no longer do it.

Probably not. I’ve had too many people ask for this, and then when I did it, they disappeared. What is listed here is what is available.

Never.

No. I don’t currently work in gold.

Most of the jewelry you’ll see here is Made to Order. Simply, that means that you are ordering the design you see in the shop, and then I’ll make one of them for you, after you order. 

This works because I spend a LOT of time making prototypes of designs, working out the kinks and snags, so that I can repeat them consistently whenever they are ordered. Yep, it means that I don’t release new designs nearly as often as some people might, but it also means that if you see a design you ABSOLUTELY love AND want to get for a friend, you can totally do that. Or, if you see a piece you love, you don’t usually have to worry if it will be here after your paycheck hits the bank. (Only for one of a kind items.) It does mean there’s some time between when you order and when your item ships; up to a month, depending on how busy we are. But you’ll always know that behind your order is hundreds of hours of perfecting a design, and just as much attention to detail as went into the prototype. 

Working made to order allows me to make more people happy, and that’s good for everyone!
