Like Filagree work, wire jewelry is fragile so care must be taken when storing it. I allways wear a new design to make sure that it is able to withstand normal wear and tear. Should any of my jewelry become damaged accidentally, I will repair it if possible. The only charge will be for materials and shipping. The shoulder strap of your car seat belt is a threat to allmost any necklace. The unsupported knitted chains I offer are particularly vulnerable to irrepairable damage. When ever any of my knitted chains go by-by they reside in their own little box until arrival.
You can return any of my jewelry within ten days of receipt for a refund (excluding shipping) as long as it is returned in the same condition as it was sent.
I mostly work in Gold Filled wire: Gold-filled wire is made by combining a layer or layers of gold alloy to a base metal (usually brass), then rolling or drawing the metal to the desired thickness and shape. It has a long life and can be worn by most people without reaction or difficulties. Gold-filled items are considered life-time products, and the gold layer will not wear off, as it will in electroplated products.
The natural colored copper I use has a fired-on clear coating to keep it from tarnishing. If you like the aging effect you must custom order . |
