All chains, clasps and jump rings are either gold filled or sterling silver.

Most charms are stainless steel plated in 100 mils thickness of gold or silver. This is considered 'very heavy plating' and is about 10x the thickness of traditional 'plated' items. As a result, with proper care, it can last as long as any gold filled or sterling silver item.

I include measurements of the charms in both inches and millimeters. Most of my items have a delicate aesthetic by design. Please familiarize yourself with the measurements if you are concerned about the size.

The lengths of the necklaces are measured from tip to tip. Please keep in mind that people come in all different sizes so 16" on one person may not fall the same on another person. The best way to determine your ideal length is to measure an existing necklace that falls how you like, or use a piece of string.

I take pride in my items being made exclusively in America. My chain and clasps are from a company in California, and my jump rings are made by hand in Colorado. My charms are designed in New Orleans, laser cut in New York City, plated in Rhode Island, and assembled by hand & with love near Seattle.

A sad fact of life in this industry is that there are many copies of my designs floating around - especially in Korea and China. They are poor replicas of inferior craftsmanship and their prices reflect that. Please do not be fooled! My pieces are original designs, only made by me and sold on my website and to select brick and mortar boutiques around the US (and Canada).
