Due to each piece being 100% customized, my pricing varies per piece. My overall mission is to make sure to have affordable prices for everyone - so I made sure that my sterling silver pieces range from $100 (earring studs/teardrop pendant) to $200 (channel ring setting). Some settings can be made in gold filled or solid gold and if you are looking for something in that metal, please reach out and I can provide you a custom quote.
What is the current turnaround time?
Currently I have a 2 - 4 week turnaround time. This time can exceed the 4 week mark depending on the setting you select. Most items are created earlier than the estimated date I provide at the time of your order.
How much do you need for the inclusions?
Breastmilk: 1/2 ounce (this can be frozen for years and will still be perfect to use!)
Cremation Ashes: 1/4 teaspoon
Umbilical Stump (Fully Dried): 1/8 teaspoon
Flowers (Fully Dried): 1/2 teaspoon
Placenta (Fully Dried): 1/8 teaspoon
Hair: Approximately 20 strands cut at 1 inch
Fur: Approximately 20 strands cut at 1 inch
Fabric: 1 square inch
How do I submit payment?
Once we finalize the metal type, setting style and placement of inclusions, I will provide you with an invoice at the quoted amount. I will start on your piece as soon as I receive your payment.
How do I know you received my inclusions if I mailed them?
If you mail your inclusions to me, I require you to do so with tracking information and upon receipt, I will send you a confirmation email indicating that I have received all of the items. I will also include a photograph of the items received.
How can I check on the status of my order?
If you have not received an email from me by the date your order was estimated to be completed (provided at the time of your order), please do reach out - I have yet to have this issue and regularly keep in contact with my clients if there is a delay or an issue with receiving the metals. Otherwise, please be patient with me as I am a full time working mama of three and I set time to work on pieces throughout the week in the evenings when the babies are asleep.
Do you offer rush orders?
I am able to rush some orders, but I am limited to the turnaround of my metal supplier and as such, some items cannot be rushed. If you are wanting a quick turnaround, please let me know that and I will let you know if it is possible.
What types of metal do you offer and what are the differences?
I offer a variety of metals for different price ranges, which are all stated in the listing descriptions and metal options menu. None of the options will turn your skin green or irritate your ears. I have extremely sensitive skin and have tested each of them without any problems.
A few of my pieces are gold or rose gold plated over solid sterling silver. Plating can wear off over time, especially if exposed to cleaning products or chlorine (pools, showers, frequent hand washing or doing the dishes while wearing). If it does wear off, you will notice a slight silver tone through the plating. Because of the way the stone is set, the jewelry cannot be re-plated without extensive removal and re-setting. If this is a concern of yours, please choose another metal type.
Some of my pieces are gold or rose gold "filled" which is a brass core with a thin solid gold layer on the outside. This will never wear off. It's basically a step up from plating, and a great cost-effective alternative to solid gold. The only downsides that I've noticed are that it's a softer metal than solid gold. It can dent/scratch easier and cannot be sanded to be repaired. If taken care of, this option will last a lifetime and can be buffed back to shine.
Solid gold is pretty self explanatory. It can always be sanded, buffed and repaired if damaged, and is thicker, harder and more durable. I always prefer this option, but realize it isn't in everyone's budget.
Can I send you a picture of what I am looking for if I don’t see what I am wanting offered on your site?
Of course! I will try my best to find the setting you’re wanting and if you have a specific color in mind, pictures are extremely helpful! I am able to recreate most styles. Pricing will increase depending on the style and I will provide a custom quote at the time of receiving your request.
