Can catalog items be customized?
Most pieces of jewelry in the online catalog which contain crystals, cubic zirconia, diamonds or colored stones are often available with other centers of variable size, shape or quality as it pertains to diamonds, cubic zirconia and any other colored gemstones where applicable. As we hand make most of our jewelry, we can also create custom pieces, so long as you can provide a design and other costs associated with the fabrication of the item. Please call the office during normal business hours (Monday through Friday – 9:00 am-5:00 pm EST) to inquire.

What is a DWT? What is a gram?
DWT is the abbreviation for pennyweight which is one of the units used when weighing precious metals. It is generally used by the manufacturers in the United States. One (1) DWT is equal to 1.5 Grams (g). As an example if your piece has a weight of 2.0 DWT it weighs about 3.0 grams. Gram is another unit used to weigh precious metals. The gram is used in Canada and Europe. Weight of precious metals should never be listed as kilos or kilograms as this measure is too large in relation to precious metals, unless you are referring to large quantities and not individual items or pieces.
Why do you list DWT and Grams?
We list both DWT and grams because the majority of our inventory and pieces are purchased from our manufacturers in DWT and many of our customers are only familiar with gram weight. We list both so you can be as familiar with the piece before you purchase it.
Why do the same items differ in weight in gold and silver?
The same items have different weights in gold and silver because of the metal. Gold is a heavier and denser metal then silver.
What is a soldered bail and why is it important?
A bail is the piece on the top a pendant that the necklace goes through and holds the charm on the necklace leaving the pendant to freely move on the necklace. A soldered bail is one that will not open because it has been soldered with an extra piece of gold. It still allows the pendant to move freely, however, it adds more protection to the piece because it cannot easily open and fall off. Soldered bails, just like any bail, eventually wear and you should check your piece over time to assure that it is not too worn or thin. Bails can easily be repaired when too worn and this can decrease your chances of losing your pendant. Over 90% of our bails are soldered on for your protection!
Speaking of necklaces, do your pendants come with chains?
No, there are very few items that come with a chains. We do this because not everyone likes a certain design and not every person require the same length. However, we do offer Sterling Silver Chains for sale and if you can always email us if you are looking for a certain design, length or metal!
I have a larger and thicker necklace. Do you offer bigger bails for bigger pieces so it will fit my necklace?
We manufacturer several bails that can fit even the larger necklaces. Contact us and we can discuss possibilities and cost with you.
It said the item is in stock when I purchased it, why did I receive an email saying it wasn’t?
Sometimes our website says an item is in stock however, we may have just returned from a show/festival and have not had the opportunity to update our site. If your item is not in stock, we will alert you as soon is possible and give you a tentative date that it will be back in stock. The item may also be in stock in a certain color. For example, if you purchased an eternity bead in red and the website said it was in stock, it was possible that only the blue bead was in stock. We currently list our products stock by the item, not the variations.
If the item is out of stock, how long does it take before I can expect it to be back in stock?
Some items that are out of stock can be back in stock in one day while other items can take up to 2 to 3 weeks. It all depends on the item and time of year. During the holiday seasons it takes longer as well as during the month of July when the office is closed for vacation.
