Q. What do you charge for shipping?
A. Within the US shipping is $2 via USPS First Class. International shipping is $3-4 via USPS Fist Class International depending upon where the item is being shipped.
Q. Do the pictures of the beads clearly represent the colors of the beads in person?
A. I do my very best to post pictures that most accurately represent the colors in each piece, but please remember that each monitor varies slightly.
Q. Do you accept custom orders?
A. If you are interested in placing a custom order contact me and we can discuss your needs. Some items are more easily reproduced than others. Custom orders require a 50% deposit.
Q. Are my purchases guaranteed?
A. Your satisfaction is very important to me. If upon receipt of your order you are unhappy please contact me and I will do all I can to fix the problem. If we cannot resolve the issue and you are still unhappy, I will refund your purchase price upon return of the item(s). Refunds include shipping, but return shipping is to be paid by the customer.
Q. How durable are the beads?
A. I anneal my beads in a digitally controlled kiln for lasting durability, however, they are glass and will break if dropped on a hard surface. With reasonable care they should last generations.
