FAQ’s

What are your materials?

My work combines glass, sterling silver, 18k gold, and genuine gemstones. I strive to use stones that are untreated whenever possible, avoiding dyed or irradiated gems. These are authentic, high-quality materials — not crystals or rhinestones.

How durable is your work?

My pieces are created by laminating multiple layers of glass, with the top layer made from clear optical glass. This glass is highly refractive and exceptionally durable, produced with platinum during the melting process to create a hard surface that resists breakage. Laminated glass generally does not shatter upon impact because the interlayers hold it together, making it remarkably resilient for everyday wear.

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 (more than 2 sizes in either direction) than the one in stock, it may need to be remade and scaled up or down to suit the scale of the ring size.

Contact me to discuss ring sizing.

What if I don't know my ring size, (or I’m ordering a ring as a gift, and I don’t know the recipient’s size)?

I'm happy to send you a complimentary ring sizer so that you can order the perfect size!

There are also several aps available that can be downloaded onto your smartphone to help you figure out ring size based on an existing ring.

I recommend one called Ring Sizer - Size Meter

What if I don't know my bracelet size?

You can measure your wrist by cutting a strip of paper and wrapping it around your wrist. I consider 6-6.5" a small, 7-7.5 average or medium, 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.

What if I order a bracelet and it doesn’t fit?

If your bracelet arrives and doesn’t fit, I can walk you through the steps to send it back to me for resizing. I’m always happy to adjust a piece so it fits you perfectly

How long are your necklaces?”

My necklace measurements are listed in each product description. Most necklaces are adjustable between 16–20” unless otherwise noted, and I’m always happy to create a custom length for you. Lengths are measured end-to-end (including the clasp and extender). Some designs with sculptural elements may have specific length limitations, but I’ll let you know what’s possible for the piece you love. If you're unsure which length will fit best, the size chart below can help—or feel free to contact me.

How do I care for my piece?

Sterling silver: Store in an airtight plastic bag to avoid tarnish. Use a dry rouge cloth on highly polished areas and a 3M Scotch-Brite pad on matte or textured surfaces.

• Glass surfaces: Clean gently with glass cleaner applied to a soft paper towel.

• Gemstones: Be careful with delicate stones such as opals, pearls, or rough minerals; avoid harsh chemicals. Tarnish removers like Tarnex can be used carefully, but never let them contact delicate stones.

With proper care, your one-of-a-kind piece will maintain its brilliance for years to come.

Can I wear my jewelry while swimming or doing sports?

While my pieces are made to be durable, they are handmade, one-of-a-kind works featuring carved glass, gemstones, and hand-fabricated sterling silver. To preserve their beauty and longevity:

• Always remove jewelry before swimming, showering, or soaking in water. Chlorine, saltwater, and pool chemicals can damage both metals and stones.

• Avoid sports or high-impact activities, as stones may loosen or glass may chip under sudden pressure.

• Keep away from harsh chemicals—cleaning products, perfumes, and lotions can tarnish silver or affect gemstone luster.

• Protect from extreme temperatures; sudden heat or cold can stress the stones or the glass carving.

With proper care, your one-of-a-kind piece will maintain its brilliance for years to come.

How quickly will my piece be shipped?

I generally ship items out immediately if no modifications need to be made. My work is almost entirely one-of-a-kind, so every piece listed (unless otherwise stated) is the exact piece that you will be receiving.

Do you ship worldwide?

Yes!! I can ship to any location in the world… contact me to make the purchase. Once I know your exact location I can give you all the shipping options and send you an invoice payable online.

How will my piece be shipped?

I offer free shipping via UPS ground to anyone in the contiguous US. Other shipping options are available if you prefer to not use UPS. Contact me for any specific questions that you may have regarding shipping.

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 exchange window to suit your timeline.

*All custom orders/commissions are non-refundable & non-returnable.
