General Product Information
All my jewelry is intended for adults, I do not currently make a line of jewelry for children due to safety concerns.
My items are made with Sterling Silver, Gold Filled or 14k Gold and semi-precious stones.
*Gold-filled is not the same as gold-plated, as gold-plated has only a thin film of 14k on it, where gold-filled has a layer of 14k on it, is more tarnish resistant and the price varies along with gold prices*
Due to the fact that I handcraft my jewelry, I normally only have 1 or 2 of each item in stock at all times. If you are interested in an out of stock item, please email me at hopeiskey@aol.com and I will let you know if the materials to make the item are available!
The prices on items will vary according to the stones/materials used and current precious metal prices.
Please note that I do my best to note the treatments used on the stones I use in my pieces; while most of the places I buy my stones list treatments, there are some that do not specifically list them currently. Be advised, from what I have noticed, that the majority of stones are treated, there are some that to my knowledge, are not normally treated, and I do note that, usually it's multi-colored stones but that is not to say that they are absolutely not, it depends on the supplier, etc.. The most common treatments that I have noticed is heat-treating and/or dying for color enhancement, and for pearls, lighter colors are normally bleached, darker are normally dyed. Again, it is very common for the majority of stones to have some type of enhancement.
Enjoy your day & God Bless!
