~About my Jewelry~
To me there's not much fun in wearing jewelry that's been mass produced. Although it can be cheaper, the sense of art seems to lose itself in that kind of jewelry. If someone's looking for handmade one-of-a-kind jewelry, they often end up paying +100$ to get what they want, and the price doesn't always reflect the type and quality of the materials used. My goal is to have a great variety of one-of-a-kind jewelry and accessories available at decent prices for people to enjoy.
To give you an idea of the prices of my jewelry, necklaces are 10$-45$, keychains and earrings are 5$-16$, bookmarks are 10$-13$, bracelets are 8$-18$ with many of my bracelet & matching earring sets at 18$. Prices depend on how complicated and/or expensive the pieces are and I don't charge a fee for custom work.
Almost all design ideas come from my head and I've never used instructions to make them, therefore they are very unique in their kind. Once one of my one-of-a-kind items is sold, I don't ever make any duplicates of it, therefore it will always be a unique item. I use all kinds of materials and beads, some of which I've created myself. I usually use silver plated findings, and most of my gold findings are 22k gold plated, but I also carry a variety of solid sterling silver findings, beads and pendants. I plan on upgrading all my fancy jewelry to sterling silver findings in the future, Without quadrupling the prices of those pieces. I've started to get into pewter beads, charms and findings as well. I also have many simple pendant necklaces I have available at craft shows and jewelry parties I attend. I'll eventually add those to this website.

Additional Shipping Information: I ship all my items in a bubble envelope, within two days of payment and sometimes on the same day. I will ship almost anywhere in the world. Contact me for shipping quotes for the area you live in.
Local Pickup & Deliveries: Local Pickup is possible to those who live near Wilkie, Saskatchewan Canada. Please e-mail me to set a date and get my address if I allow local pickups at the time. I also do deliveries for those who need their jewelry very quickly. Deliveries to Wilkie are 4$. Deliveries to Unity are 8$.
Payment Methods: PayPal is the preferred method of payment. It's easy to use, fast, and secure. It's quick to start an account and to learn how to spend and receive money. For local & craft show purchases, cash is preferred but I'll accept money orders and cheques as payment for these as well. Once in a while I'll consider trades too :). If you're paying with PayPal, simply e-mail me with a list of the items you want to purchase, along with any custom work you might want done. I'll confirm that I have them all, and then you can pay me through PayPal.
Return Policy: If for any reason you're not satisfied with the items you purchased, return them to me in a bubble envelope and I'll issue a full refund minus the shipping fees. I'm not responsible for damaged or lost items during shipping if insurance was not purchased. If you have any problems with my jewelry, please let me know so we can work something out!
To Avoid Disappointments: I try to have a variety of clear pictures of my jewelry and accessories to display their colors and shapes accurately. I also have the length of all necklaces & bracelets described, with specific characteristics that they may have. Feel free to ask for more pictures of the items you're interested in to make sure it's what you expect, and make sure to treat your jewelry properly when you receive it. Although I use high quality braided 20LB thread for my jewelry, too much tension and pulling on them can damage them. Glass beads have to be handled gently as well; Try to keep them away from other items that they may bang against a lot. If not in use, store your jewelry in a safe place away from traffic and curious pets. I also highly recommend taking off jewelry when going showering or swimming. Please contact me if you have any concerns whatsoever about my jewelry, shipping fees or payment methods. I'll be happy to help you :)
~Custom Jewelry~
I can make all kinds of custom jewelry & accessories and can change existing jewelry to any of your preferences, weather it have to do with the length, type of beads, charms, clasps, or amount of strands preferred. I can tell you what I have in stock, show pictures of my stock, and you can tell me what you're looking for and what prices are good for you. I can restring necklaces and earrings with sterling silver components for an affordable price. Necklaces with multiple strands, jewelry with sterling silver beads and pendants will cost more depending on how many beads need to be changed to sterling silver.
~Jewelry Party Hosting~
Ready for something new to do at home? How about host a jewelry party?
It’s easy and fun! Simply put, I display my jewelry in your home on a day of your choice, you invite your friends, family and co-workers over for them and you to browse through my selection of one-of-a-kind jewelry and beads. In return you receive free jewelry for helping me show my art to new customers! (The amount depends on how successful the party was, and you get to choose from a selection of jewelry) You and all of your friends, family and co-workers can have a great time trying on all kinds of different jewelry at your own pace, without having to go to the mall. Since I always carry my tools and beads with me, I can customize anything anyone wants. I currently have over 300 pieces of jewelry for sale. I also have a wide selection of beads and pendants for sale.
You don't have to prepare anything, that's my job. If you have a couple of tables to lend me for the event, that'd be appreciated, otherwise I bring all of my own displays and equipment. You only have to inform people of the upcoming event. The amount of time I'd spend at your house would be about 2 hours prior to the showing, the actual “open” hours, and about 1 1/2 hours afterwards. It helps a lot if I can see the room I'll be working in before the jewelry party date, or get the dimensions and a picture of the room and tables available. I'm willing to host jewelry parties in Wilkie, Unity and surrounding areas, and
