Payment:
Acceptable methods of payment are credit card and debit payments through Paypal.  Paypal is a reliable, secure site.  I personally use Paypal for all my electronic transactions. If you do not have a Paypal account, you can sign up at time of payment. The site is 100% secure, and the cost to buyers is nothing. Please note: The contact e-mail address on this web site differs from the Paypal payment address, which will be sent via e-mail upon order confirmation. Please do not use the web site e-mail for payments.

Shipping:
I ship via USPS First Class Mail for a flat $2.50 shipping and handling charge in USA, or via Priority Mail for $4.65. Insurance is available if you would like, for $1.35 up to $50 value, $2.20 for $50-99, and $3.30 for $99 and up. Shipping and insurance options may be selected at time of checkout.  I also ship a flat rate of shipping on packages going to CANADA via USPS for a flat rate of $2.50 first class mail, and a flat rate EVERYWHERE ELSE for $3.50 via USPS.  If shipping out of the country and you would prefer to ship with insurance, this can also be arranged.  Once packages leave my hands they usually only take from 2-5 days within USA and from 6-10 days out of the country. :o)

Custom orders may take approx. 2.5 weeks until shipping.  Please allow extra time for this and possibly longer around the busy holidays of Christmas and Mother's Day.

Product Care:
For shiny sterling silver, when storing your jewelry, ensure that you place it in an air tight bag and keep it in a dark place such as a jewelry box to keep it from tarnishing. In the event that it does tarnish, gently clean it with a jewelry polishing cloth. Refrain from using any harsh chemical products as it will damage the beads and stones on the jewelry.

For oxidized jewelry, brass and copper, the metal has already been aged so you do not have to keep it in a dark place or anywhere protective from light.  To clean,  rub slightly with a cloth not containing tarnish protective as you would want to keep the darker color.  A simple washcloth without any chemicals or soap is perfect.
