FAQs
How are your pieces made?
I lovingly handcraft every piece of Bead Dangle Design jewelry in my Connecticut studio. I hand-set each bead with care, creating wearable art that's truly one-of-a-kind. My interchangeable pendant system lets you mix and match to create endless looks!
What materials do you use?
I'm all about quality that lasts! I use high-quality Stainless Steel for all my chains and components because it's hypoallergenic, tarnish-resistant, and water-resistant. For my pendants, I set each piece with industrial-strength Apoxie cement to ensure they're built to last. This jewelry is designed for your real life—not to sit in a drawer!
Will this jewelry tarnish or turn my skin green?
Nope! That's the beauty of Stainless Steel. Unlike cheaper metals, it won't tarnish, discolor, or turn your skin green. You can wear your Bead Dangle Design pieces every day without worry.
Can I wear this jewelry in water?
Yes! Your jewelry is water-resistant, so you don't need to panic if you forget to take it off before washing your hands or get caught in the rain. That said, I'd recommend removing it before swimming or showering to keep it looking its best for years to come.
Is this jewelry hypoallergenic?
Absolutely! Stainless Steel is naturally hypoallergenic, making it perfect for sensitive skin. If you've had reactions to other jewelry in the past, you'll love how comfortable these pieces are to wear.
Are these pieces really one-of-a-kind?
Yes! Most of my earrings and pendants are OOAK (One-of-a-Kind) pieces. Once they're sold, I can never recreate them the same way. When you wear one of my pieces, you're wearing the only one in existence - true wearable art that's exclusively yours.
How do I clean my jewelry?
It's super easy! Check out my Designer's Secret Care Guide for simple cleaning tips that'll keep your jewelry sparkling. I stand behind every piece I make!
How does the interchangeable pendant system work?
It's one of my favorite features! Each pendant comes with a large bail that easily slides onto any of my Stainless Steel chains. You can swap pendants in seconds to match your outfit or mood. Buy one chain and multiple pendants, and you've got endless styling options! How Does It Work, I'll tell you how just click here.
Do pendants come with a chain?
Pendants are sold separately from chains, so you can mix and match to create your perfect combination. This gives you the flexibility to choose the chain length and style that works best for you!
What chain lengths do you offer?
I offer adjustable chains in various styles so you can customize the length to suit your neckline and preference. Check out the SHOP CHAINS section to see all the options!
How do I know what size earrings to order?
Each earring listing includes detailed measurements from the ear wire, so you'll know exactly how long each earring will hang. I also include photos showing the earrings being worn when possible to give you a better sense of scale.
Are your earrings heavy?
Not at all! Despite their intricate beadwork, my earrings are designed to be lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear. You'll forget you're wearing them!
