Personalisation

Bangles & Bracelets

Measure around your wrist just below the wrist bone (where a bracelet would normally sit on the wrist) using a tape measure or a piece of string. If measuring with string, mark how much string needs to go around your wrist and then measure that length of string with a ruler. Add between ¼" to ¾" to your wrist length and that will be the minimum size of bracelet you will need. Adding ¼" will give a snug fit, adding ½" will give a more comfortable fit and adding ¾" will give a loose fit.

For reference, 7" (17¾cm) is a standard bracelet length for an adult female.

Necklaces

If you have a necklace that you like the length of how it sits on you, then measure the length of that necklace (i.e. length of chain including the length of the clasp/closure) and choose the closest size.

Please, be aware that the necklace lengths do not include the pendant charm length. So you will need to take this into consideration when choosing a necklace length.

If you are unsure, for instance, you are buying as a gift for someone (for an average adult female neck):

  • 16" is a loose choker that fits around the base of the neck.
  • 18" sits on the collar bone.
  • 20" and 22" falls below the collar bone.

For reference, 18" (46cm) is a standard necklace length for an adult female.

Many of the items are offered with a letter and/or birth month crystal charm. Please utilise the search facility to find similar items that have letters or crystals as available options. You can then select the letter and/or month from the drop-down boxes on the product listing. For those items that offer multiple birth month crystals, you can select the number of crystals required from the drop-down box. Then enter the month(s) required in the text box on the product listing.

However, if you wish to add extra charms that are not available on any of the product listings, then please contact me. Please include a link to the item you want to order. Along with specifically stating which extra charms you want and which country you want it shipped to. You will then receive an email response (normally within 24 hours) with information regarding the price of your custom order and how to purchase it.

Materials & Care

All jewellery and accessory items come packaged in a cardboard gift box made from 100% recycled card that is ready for gifting. As items are already packaged in a way suitable for gifting, I believe that extra wrapping is unnecessary and better for the environment. Therefore, I do not offer a specific gift wrapping service.

For sterling silver items, the jewellery item is attached to a rectangular card inside a resealable plastic bag. This is then placed inside the cardboard gift box. This is to ensure the sterling silver item reaches you in perfect condition without any tarnishing of the sterling silver.

Yes. For items stated as being sterling silver, the parts used are genuine sterling silver. Several of the components (typically the clasp, closure tag and charm) will be marked with 925 which designates the component is made from sterling silver.

Sterling silver jewellery items will tarnish with time. However, a silver polishing cloth can remove the tarnish and restore the shine. Please read "How Do I Care For My Jewellery Items?" faq below for more information on how to care for your jewellery items.

I recommend that any jewellery should not be worn at night when sleeping, not got wet e.g. not to be worn whilst swimming, showering or exercising and isn't cleaned with any chemicals.

Sterling Silver

For sterling silver jewellery, I recommend that the jewellery is contained in an airtight container, such as a resealable plastic bag when not in use. If the sterling silver does tarnish, a silver polish cloth can remove the tarnish and restore the shine.

If giving as a gift, please keep the jewellery item inside the plastic resealable bag it arrives in until you are ready to gift the item. The gift box isn't airtight and therefore keeping it in the plastic bag will keep the sterling silver from tarnishing.

Stainless Steel

For stainless steel jewellery, I recommend that the jewellery is stored separately from other items when not in use. Whilst stainless steel is durable it can scratch. If the stainless steel needs cleaning, then a damp cloth with gentle wiping should normally suffice. If not, dip the cloth in some water with some gentle dishwashing soap before gently wiping. Always wipe in the direction of any polish lines and make sure to remove any soap residue and dry the item thoroughly.

Other

Yes. On the majority of the items, the charms will move around. E.g. move along the chain of the necklace or move along the bangle etc. On items where there are multiple charms, then the charms can overlap when being worn.
