Create Your Own Wearable Art
Every piece in my collection is one-of-a-kind, which means once it's sold, it can never be recreated exactly. But that's what makes custom orders so special - I can design something uniquely yours.
How Custom Orders Work
1. Share Your Vision
Tell me about colors you love, styles that speak to you, or a sold piece that caught your eye. The more details you share, the better I can bring your vision to life.
2. I'll Create a Design Concept
Based on your preferences, I'll source materials and create a custom design just for you. I'll share photos and details before I begin.
3. Handcrafted With Care
Once you approve the design, I'll handcraft your piece using the same high-quality Stainless Steel components and artisan techniques that make all my jewelry hypoallergenic, tarnish-resistant, and water-resistant.
4. Your One-of-a-Kind Treasure
You'll receive a piece that's made exclusively for you - a true original that no one else will ever own.
Custom Order Pricing
Custom pieces are priced similarly to my existing collection, typically ranging from $45 to $85, depending on materials and complexity. I'll provide an exact quote once we discuss your design.
Timeline
Most custom orders are completed within 2-3 weeks, depending on material availability and current order volume.

"Tired of that fuzzy, cloudy look on your favorite beads? As a designer committed to creating 'forever' jewelry, I’ve seen how easily a beautiful piece can be accidentally dulled by the wrong cleaner. I want you to know the exact, gentle method I use to keep my pieces looking brand-new. Forget harsh chemicals—it only takes two minutes and a touch of care."
I use these same cleaning methods for all of my Handmade One-of-a-kind Beaded Pendants to ensure they stay sparkling for years without damaging the delicate glass or stone.
-
Prep the Bath: Mix a few drops of mild dish soap (like Dawn) into a bowl of warm water. Avoid "ultra-strength" degreasers which can be too harsh for certain bead finishes.
-
Gentle Clean: Dip a soft, lint-free cloth into the soapy water and gently rub the jewelry. For intricate beadwork, you can use a very soft baby toothbrush to reach the crevices.
-
The Rinse: Rinse the jewelry in a second bowl of clean warm water or under a gentle stream of running water to remove all soap residue.
-
Dry Immediately: Never let your jewelry air-dry, as water spots can leave new "clouds" on your beads. Pat dry thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
-
The Finishing Touch: Use a professional jewelry polishing cloth to restore high luster to the metal components.
Professional Storage: Fighting Tarnish
-
Anti-Tarnish Strips/Tabs: These small pieces of treated paper absorb the sulfur compounds in the air that cause tarnish. Place one inside an airtight container (like a zip-top bag) with your jewelry. They typically last up to 12 months.
-
Anti-Tarnish Bags: These specialized, opaque zip-lock bags have anti-tarnish material embedded directly into the plastic, providing two layers of protection.
Cleaning Your Stainless Steel Chains
Your 316L Stainless Steel Chain is the hero of your low-maintenance jewelry! Because it's designed to be strong as heck and naturally tarnish-free, it rarely needs deep cleaning.
If your chain looks dull from lotions or perfumes, simply wipe it with a soft cloth and soapy water, then pat dry. No scrubbing or special chemicals needed—it's truly built to be worn and loved daily.
