At designed for you we aim to give you unique and different jewellery. We don't try to follow the current fashion trends, but offer individuality and design timeless pieces of jewellery suitable for many occasions. Whilst our colour ranges will naturally include colours in vogue at present, they will also include many old and unusual colours. We delight in giving choice. Obviously we cannot give an infinte number of styles, but we can give variety, with chunky, unusual, beautiful, gentle, fun, and quirky pieces included in our range.

Selection
When we design pieces each bead, chip or stone is carefully selected to produce a balanced result, both in form, colour and weight.
Catches
We carefully select our catches to suit the weight and colour of the piece, and try where possible to use extendable catches to cater for different neck sizes and shapes. If you have a problem
with a particular catch please let us know.
Please note: magnetic catches and beads must not be worn by those using pacemakers.
Where we use magnetic catches this fact will be noted in the jewellery description. At present we do not use magnetic beads, but if we do this will also be noted in the jewellery
description.

Variation
Many of the materials we use are individually handmade such as, the Hilltribe pendants and individually embossed and cut linked chain. Most of our Bali Silver Beads are individually crafted
by silver artisans. The gemstones we use are natural materials and as such subject to natural inclusions and variances in colour and cut, and many of our glass beads are also handcrafted in
small quantites and again subject to slight variation. Variations in machine manufactured items are usually considered faults, but the variations above are not faults but the result of
individual treatment.
Descriptions
All products are photographed in full colour, but small variations in colour and size may occur between the beads in a piece of jewellery. Slight colour and size differences can occur between
batches of beads. Sizes are approximate. Every effort has been made to ensure descriptions are correct, product descriptions such as 'gold', 'silver', 'copper',
etc are subjective colour descriptions and do not relate to the materials. Sterling Silver and 9k gold items will be clearly stated as such.
Jewellery uses
Beads may discolour over time; we cannot guarantee they will remain colourfast indefinitely. Whether an item will lose its colour if put through the wash, used for outdoors projects or
similar 'out of the ordinary' uses, we have no way of knowing and cannot guarantee they will remain colourfast.
All our pieces are designed to sustain normal light wear. The individual links are generally not soldered so will not sustain unreasonable force.
Safety
All the jewellery findings we use in our jewellery comply with the EU Nickel Directives.
Our jewellery is designed for adults, in size and structure. Please note jewellery contains small parts and is not designed for children to play with. Small parts can present a choking hazard
to young children.
Colour reproduction
Also please note that whilst every effort has been made to closely reproduce the colours of the pieces of jewellery we are limited to how the products are represented in the images displayed
on your computer screen.
Cleaning your jewellery
Silver by its very nature will tarnish over a period of time due to exposure of salts on the skin, perfume, deodorants, air pollutants. We recommend that you use a special silver
jewellery cleaning cloth (not a 'silver dip') which will clean your jewellery and guard against excessive tarnishing.
We must also point out that some of the gemstones we use are porous for example freshwater pearls, natural turquoise and malachite. The use of certain cleaning products will spoil their
appearance. |
