HOW TO FIND YOUR RING SIZE
The best and most accurate way to find your ring size is to go to a local Jewelry Store and have your finger measured.
Wide Ring Bands - it's an Industry standard recommendation to increase your size by a 1/2. If you usually wear a Size 8, it's encouraged to order an 8.5.
If you’d prefer to measure your ring size on your own, please refer to this guide.

HOW TO CHOSE YOUR NECKLACE LENGTH
Pendant-Necklaces are offered with your choice of chain length: 16”, 18”, 20”, 22” & 24”.
Please always take the size of the pendant into considerations when selecting your chain length.
The most common chain lengths tend to be 16” & 18” – usually with these lengths, your pendant will fall mid-chest.
Wrap a piece of string (or ribbon) around your wrist where you will wear the bracelet. Make a mark on the string where the end meets the rest of the string. Remove the string and lay it on a ruler. Use this measurement as your wrist size which corresponds to.
Total Inside Circumference on our bracelet sizing chart below. Total inside circumference which includes the opening. This corresponds more or less to your wrist measurement. Inside circumference/Cuff Base from end to end, plus the gap measurement. These two added together equal the total inside circumference which corresponds to your wrist measurement.
For example, if your wrist measures 6 1/2", a bracelet that has a 5 1/2" inside circumference end to end and a 1" gap has a total inside circumference of 6 1/2" would be a size S/M (see chart below).
All the featured silver is either 999 Pure/Fine Silver or 925 Sterling. There is absolutely no nickel or silver plated materials present in any of my work.
STONES + GEMS
High quality natural stones & Gems are used in all my work. They are often cut from rough rock slabs by me in my studio. Or they are purchased from Gem & Mineral Shows, Lapidary Artists, Reputable Stone Dealers and/or Mine Owners.
PATINAS + OXIDATION
I use patinas (surface coloration) in several of my pieces to create an antique rustic aesthetic. Much like Silver Tarnishes over time, a patina can fade/wear off and or naturally change colors from blue, green – black. If you would like your piece re-oxidized, please contact me.
REMOVAL:
Do NOT allow your jewelry to get wet.
Remove all jewelry when doing household chores (dishes, yard work, etc)
Remove any pieces prior to showering, swimming, surf, sports & exercise!
After each wearing, gently wipe each piece clean of any makeup or skin oil residue with a 100% soft cotton cloth.
CLEANING:
Please do not use chemical jewelry cleaners on the pieces purchased in this shop as they can strip the oxidation and damage the natural stone.
A soft jewelry cleaning pad or cloth will work to restore the sterling silver luster.
A polishing cloth and storage bag will be provided with your order.
STORAGE SUGGESTIONS:
Store your jewelry carefully in order to keep it clean & good condition.
Keep items in individual compartments or in the velvet soft bags that are provided with your order.
Invest in a good durable jewelry box (or two) with soft inside lining.
