Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I see your jewelry in person?
Currently I sell some pieces in the five Makers Market locations (https://makersmarket.us , for more info) I sell online through my website, through instagram or in person at local art shows/ markets. Please refer to my Events page for upcoming shows. I’d love to meet you!
Are you accepting custom orders/ How do I get on your customs list?
Please check out my Custom Orders page for all the details. Fill out an inquiry form there to reserve your spot to have a piece made just for you!
How do I find my ring size?
Pop into a local jeweler’s shop to get your fingers sized. Or purchase a ring sizer online to measure for yourself. There is a great $4 option available on Amazon.com. However, I am not responsible for a mis-measured ring size, so measure carefully please!
What does made-to-order mean?
Pieces that are labeled “made-to-order” are hand-made by me after they are ordered— since they usually require a design or size customization. Production time typically takes between 2-3 weeks.
What does 14k gold-fill mean? Is it different from gold plated?
Gold-fill is very different than gold-plated. It is a thick coating of 14k gold bonded to a brass core that will not rub off the way plating will. 14k gold-filled is a USA industry standard that legally requires 1/20th, or 5% pure gold by weight. It's a strictly regulated process that involves pressure bonding multiple layers of solid 14k gold with extreme heat over a core of brass, resulting in a durable, quality, real gold product. It tends to have a warmer tone than solid gold after heating.
Gold-fill is an amazing alternative to the priciness of real gold and it won't tarnish or make your skin green like cheaper brass/plated metals.
I’ve been working with it for years, and it definitely requires some extra labor and steps when soldering, but I think the luster and warmth it brings makes it worth it!
