Frequently Asked Questions:

Have a question? Have a look below, perhaps it will be answered. If not, feel free to drop me a line!

Q:How do I determine my finger/ring size?

A: Excellent question! The best way to determine which size to buy is to use a ring sizer to measure the finger or a ring that already fits.

Please refer to the sizing page for more info!


Q:Do you sell wholesale?

A: Yes! I currently have room for a few more wholesale clients. Feel free to contact me to discuss further.


Q:How long are your necklace chains?

A: No two necks are alike, and chain lengths fit differently on different people. When selling pendants, I include a basic chain so you can wear it right away! These chains are a simple rolo style, and adjustable from 16" - 18" - 20". If you need a longer or shorter chain, please get in touch. When it comes to my handmade necklaces, I tend to make it whatever length I have enough material for, or I think suits the design. If you love a handmade chain of mine but don't love the length, contact me so we can talk about it!

Q:What metals do you use?

A: Primarily 925 Sterling Silver and 999 Pure Silver. I do use some brass here and there, occasionally gold.


Q:How should I care for my jewellery?

A: Sterling silver can certainly tarnish & develop a patina if you don't take proper care of it. That's just the way it is. It can also get scratched, dinged, and filthy.

You can scrub your jewellery gently with mild soap & water and a soft toothbrush (an electric toothbrush does a great job!).

You can also purchase a silver polishing cloth that will do a nice job of shining up your pieces. Just be careful if you have a piece that I had intentionally added patina to (black parts of the design) as a polishing cloth will remove the black parts of the design.


In terms of gemstones, again, gentle washing with soap & water, and being very careful not to wear them when you're doing lots of activity. Be especially careful with fragile stones such as opals, pearls, lapis lazuli, moonstone and labradorite. ++


Always remove all of your jewellery when swimming, bathing, exercising, and applying skin or hair products, and makeup. This will help to keep damage & gunk buildup to a minimum, as well as minimizing potential for your jewellery to slip off and get lost. I also highly recommend removing your jewellery when sleeping.

That being said, the more you wear your jewellery, the less it will tarnish. The oils from your skin tend to prevent oxidization to some degree.

When you're not wearing your pieces, store them somewhere safe, and with as little exposure to air & water as possible- little baggies or boxes are perfect.


Q:Where do your gemstones come from?

A: I work with lapidary artists mostly in North America who obtain their raw materials from all over the world. They make great efforts to ensure that all materials come from ethical sources. Ethical sourcing is an ongoing effort in the world of gemstones that I am constantly learning about, and I strive to be on the right side of it.
Also, I am increasingly working with stones cut from local BC, Canada, and US materials. Some of it is sourced from local rockhounds, dealers, and miners, while some is collected by our own two hands. I will proudly indicate these special stones on their listings!


Q:Where can I shop for your work in person?

A: You can find my work at select boutiques and at the various artisan markets that I attend. This can all be found on the Find My Work Page, which I keep very up-to-date.
If you want to see my work in your favourite local boutique, feel free to suggest to them or to me.
