-Your item regardless of location will be sent on an insured service and will require a signature on delivery.
Overseas customers, please note that you are liable for any import duties and taxes incurred on your item.
All my silver pieces are very limited, should the item you choose be out of stock at the time of ordering please contactme to discuss options. As the stones and beads within this piece are natural and hand cut, please expect slight variation in shade and shape. Traditional jewellery making techniques are used to make all pieces- piercing, shaping, stamping, soldering, stone setting and polishing etc are all done by me and by hand. No mass made cookie cut production here. Each piece will be different to the next and this is what makes every piece unique. I have an ever changing supply of stones and therefore custom orders are possible. Prices vary due to the carat, type and rarity of the stone, also due to the amount and weight of sterling used in each piece.
Please check your string regularly to check for any wear. This stringing steel is very strong, but overtime this could start to wear and your piece will need restringing. There is a chance the steel thread can catch your hair when taking the necklace on and off.
