Since I construct each piece by hand, it is unique. The designs are individual and are generally inspired by the materials used. Prices are based upon availability, quantities, and cost of materials used in construction. If your piece breaks, I will be happy to repair it. During the first six months of ownership, repairs due to defects are free. Out of warranty repair will require individual price negotiation. Please contact me to schedule repair or modification work. - Michele (02/26/2009).
Modifications to length or design depend on the individual piece as well as availability of material, and normally entail additional charges. The semi-precious stones used in my jewelry may have inclusions that look like cracks or actually are – that is the nature of stone and minerals. Normal material flaws augment their beauty and economy.
Caveats, Care and Cleaning: It is wise to remove jewelry before bathing or engaging in vigorous activity. All metal will tarnish in time, but water speeds tarnishing and breakdown of metals. I use only Sterling Silver chain. Wire may be polyurethane coated stainless, stranded stainless or silver. Storage in fabric or airtight containers will slow tarnishing and abrasion. Mild soap and water will remove salt and oils.
