FAQs and Info 
With this years updates and more streamlined approach I have recently added this new page to my site so that you can find out more about the jewellery I make without having to see the same info repeated over and over again. So if you see something mentioned in an item description you can use the search box below to quickly find out more. If you have any questions about anything not already covered please get in touch, and who knows your question may soon be featured here.
Q. What is silver tone?
| Posted at 08:06 PM on April 25, 2009 |
A. I have classed any metals that are not labeled as silver plated, sterling silver or another specific metal as silver tone. This includes watches which contain stainless steel, and vintage components. There is the possibility that some silver tone components could contain metals that people could have sensitivities to, therefore I have restricted their use to items that won't directly touch skin.

A. An illusion necklace has beads placed at intervals along fine beading wires to create the illusion of the beads floating on air.

A. AB stands for Aurora Borealis, a very pretty coating on beads that reflects rainbows of light off them.
Q. What age are "vintage" components?
| Posted at 08:05 PM on April 25, 2009 |
A. Vintage components can be any age! Most of the vintage items I use are from the 60's through to the 80's.
Q. What size is a "medium" bracelet in inches?
| Posted at 08:05 PM on April 25, 2009 |
A. The reason I don't list the length of my bracelets in inches is that abracelet with big beads will be much tighter on the wrist compared to achain of the same length. I have sized bracelets as small, medium andlarge having tested them on various wrist sizes, and many of my designscan be adjusted if you would like them larger or smaller - just ask.
Q. What is Tibetan silver?
| Posted at 08:05 PM on April 25, 2009 |
A. The Tibetan silver I use in my pieces is a nickel free, zinc alloy with an antiqued finish.
Caring for your jewellery
| Posted at 08:45 PM on April 24, 2009 |
My aim is to
create jewellery that you will treasure for years to come. With that in
mind I have put together a few tips on the care of your jewellery that
I hope you will find useful. 
Please remember to remove jewellery before swimming,
showering, washing up or any other activity where it will get wet for
any length of time.
Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasives to clean jewellery, use a soft cloth or specialist silver cleaning cloth where required.
Silver Items (both sterling and plated) will tarnish over time.
This is a natural process due to sulphur and ammonia in the air. To
keep your jewellery sparkling keep it in an airtight zip-lock bag (I
will always send my jewellery out to you in one). Beware of rubber bands! Exposing silver items to rubber will cause un-repairable damage.
Care should be taken not to over stretch your jewellery and it
is not recommended to wear it in bed as it could get snagged (and
no-one likes their hair caught up in their necklace anyway)!
Please consider the fact that although every care is taken to
craft each individual piece to the highest of standards, some of the
jewellery designs I create can be delicate and may not stand up to
rough treatment. If you need a special piece that will withstand your
"demanding" lifestyle email me. There are many designs I can adapt or
create to meet your needs. I believe that everyone deserves jewellery
designed to suit their lifestyle.
