Is the jewellery exactly as shown online ?
Photographing glass beads and crystals is very difficult and whilst every effort has been made to match the colours of our products accurately, there may be some variation. We buy all our beads in large batches and sometimes the beads will vary in colour from batch to batch. We endeavor to minimise this as much as possible but we cannot always guarantee exact colours. We also use large quantities of natural beads and as with all natural products there can be great colour variation as well as differences in shapes and finishes; however we do try to minimise this.
Whilst every effort is made to provide you with an excellent guide to our jewellery we have not been able to reproduce all the beads to their exact sizes.
What are the jewellery lengths ?
Each item listing, will state the length.
What is the jewellery made of ?
Some of the earring hooks are sterling silver, This will be highlighted in the item descriptions for you.
Clamshells, loop-rings, clasps & crimps, chains (all the types of findings used to keep the beads in place and on the ends of the wires) are silver plated But we can not guarantee these are nickel free. Necklace wire is nylon coated stainless steel.
We use a vast array of beads, but we predominantly use wool, however we also been known to use crystal, resin, acrylic, wood and metal within some designs. Each item will have it listed along side the item descriptions.
How do I take care of the jewellery ?
Our jewellery is carefully handmade using quality materials. However like all jewellery, it needs to be handled with care to ensure it remains in good condition. Our suggestions are:
• Please remove your jewellery before showering or bathing.
• If applying body lotions or perfume, please allow them to dry before wearing your jewellery.
• If your jewellery needs a little TLC a quick rub with a silver cloth will make the findings sparkle.
What packaging do you provide ?
Items will come with a branded label / card, linen bags, these vary from item to item but a brand is throughout the range.
Earrings come in a glass bottle with an organza bag, and a branded flat pack box.
