Frequently Asked Questions

  • How durable is your work? My pieces are created by laminating multiple layers of glass, with the top layer being clear optical glass. This optical glass is not only highly refractive but also exceptionally durable. It is produced with platinum during the melting process, resulting in extremely hard glass that resists breakage. Additionally, laminated glass generally does not shatter upon impact because the interlayers hold it together.

  • Where do you sell your work? Other than this site, I sell my work in galleries, museum shops, and at juried fine craft shows across the country. Please visit the events link and see when I will be in your area. I would love to meet you!

  • Can I purchase directly from this site? Yes! Every piece pictured in my shop is in stock and ready to ship! Every piece I make is completely handmade, and one of a kind, though may be part of a larger series. You will get the exact piece pictured in every listing.

  • I see a ring I’d like to buy, but it’s not my size. Can it be sized? I generally make stock rings in sizes 6-9 because they are the most common sizes, but I can either size or remake most pieces in any size. If a ring is ordered in a drastically different size than the one in stock, it can be scaled up or down to suit the ring size. Contact me to discuss ring sizing.

  • What if I don't know my ring size? I'm happy to send you a complimentary ring sizer so that you can order the perfect size!

  • **What if I don't know my bracet size?**You can measure your wrist by cutting a strip of paper and wrapping it around you wrist. I consider 6-6.5" a small, 7-7.5 average or meduim, and anything above that to be a large. When ordering a custom size, please give me the actual measurement of your wrist without padding the number so I can make it fit you correctly.

  • Can I return a purchase if I change my mind? Although no full refunds are offered, exchanges are gladly accepted within two weeks, so buy a gift with confidence! If you are purchasing a piece as a gift, please let me know, and I will extend the exhange widow to suit your timeline. All custom orders/commissions are non-refundable & non-returnable.
  • How do I care for my piece? Always remove your jewelry before swimming, sports, or when using harsh chemicals, applying beauty products, or entering extreme temperatures. Store sterling silver jewelry in an airtight plastic bag to avoid tarnish.If your piece needs to be polished, use a dry rouge cloth on all highly polished areas, and a 3M scotchbrite pad on any matte or diamond surface. Glass cleaner can be used on a soft paper towel to clean glass surfaces. Tarnish removers such as Tarnex can be used, but be careful to avoid contact with gemstones such as opals, pearls, or rough minerals, as harsh chemicals can damage delicate stones.
  • Do you make custom designs? Yes! I will make custom designs, but only on my own style. I will not remake someone elses designs, ever. If you see a piece on my website that is almost perfect, but neeed a tweek to be just right, I am happy to recreate something for you to mee your exact specifications. See my 'custom orders' page for more info.
