100% Original
All of the art and jewelry you find here are one-of-a-kind creations. We start with high quality raw materials and lovingly meld them into the beautiful items you'll find below. Because of the spirit within each material, it is nearly imposible to exactly duplicate a particular item, but if you would like a "matching" set or another piece that would coordinate with an item below, we would be happy to work with you. Likewise, if you are looking for a custom designed piece, please use our order form to describe your desires! All matching, coordinating, and custom orders are quoted on a per job basis.

A Special Note About Our Handmade Glass Beads
We use both "soft" glass and borosilicate "hard" glass in our creations. Soft glass is used unless the description notes borosilicate ("boro") glass. To ensure you a high quality product, we go the extra step to kiln anneal all of our beads. By annealing the glass, the stresses that occur during formation (which can result in breakage) are relaxed making the glass much more resistant to shocks and much less likely to break. We believe annealing to be a very important step; a step that not everyone does, but a step that we will always do. All glass will break - all it takes is the right amount of pressure in the wrong place, but our annealing process ensures you of a high-quality, high-endurance bead that will take the rough and tumble of everday living. If one of our handmade beads does happen to break, please contact our customer service team with the item number (so we know what broke) along with the situation under which the bead broke so we can discuss a replacement for your bead.

Strung Bracelets
Unless otherwise noted, our bracelets are strung with a (nearly) unbreakable multi-stranded stainless steel wire. Many people will use less expensive alternatives, but these all degrade over time and sharp edges (on beads or from an outside item) can quickly cut through. With our very flexible multi-stranded stainless steel wire you can wear your bracelet for many years without worrying about the "string" breaking.
