At this time, I only accept payments via Paypal. All purchases must be paid for in full within 1 day (unless special agreement has been confirmed) otherwise I will assume you are not intending to complete the transaction and I will cancel.

But don't worry - any action from me, will be notified to you via email and convo in advance. Sometimes life gets in the way and I completely understand that. Should emergencies appear, just let me know and we will find a solution together.

Additional policies and FAQs

♥ CUSTOM ORDERS
Typically a custom order will start with a number of emails or convos between us to decide on design and material. Once we've reached a desicion, I will set up a custom order listing with a charge of 200Sek (approx. $30-$40 depending on currency exchange rate) as a non-refundable deposit and with the balance due upon completion.

The deposit must be paid in full before I start any work on the order and should you change your mind after the deposit is paid, it will be forfeited.

♥ SIZE GUIDE - BANGLES
To measure for a bangle bracelet stretch your fingers out straight and squeeze your thumb flat against your hand TIGHT. (The way you would put on a bangle) Now, using a piece of non stretchy string or ribbon, measure the circumference of the widest part of your hand. The average size is between 7-8 inches.

♥ SIZE GUIDE - WIDE RING BANDS
Take a thin strip of paper in the width of the desired ring and wrap it around your finger snugly (not too tight or too loose) and mark where the end comes around. Lay the strip down on a ruler and measure.

There is a difference between a thin band and a wide band gauge measurement. For example: If you measure a size 8 in a thin band you will probably be an 8 1/2 for a 3/8" wide band ring

♥ FAQ about my adjustable ring shanks.
~ Is the ring shank flimsy?
No, absolutely not. This is a design I’ve been using for a few years now and that I personally prefer in my own rings and I can guarantee the quality. They are made from 14ga (1,6 mm) sterling silver that I hammer with a mallet to shape. After I’ve soldered the shank on to the setting I give it a few good whacks with the mallet again to regain its shape and strength again.

~ Will it stay the size I want?
Yes it will. It’ll stay in your desired size until you change it. Sometimes you will get caught in clothes and furniture and what-not, especially with bigger rings, and the shank will in those cases, if the strength is enough, give and open up. Should this happen, just push the ring back to the size you desire. Besides – it’s better the ring gives, than your finger as I see it.

~ How many sizes can the ring adjust to?
It depends a bit on the shape of the settings - some rings can only adjust to about 2-2½ sizes - whereas other rings can adjust up to 4 sizes. Please convo me if you have any questions.

~ But why an adjustable ring shank?
Well, if your fingers are anything like mine, they don’t stay exactly the same size the whole day depending on temperature and other parameters. I find it extremely satisfying to know that I can adjust my ring size during the day and that I’ll be able to wear a very comfortable ring no matter what.

♥ A NOTE ABOUT COPPER AND BRASS AND YOUR SKIN
I often (but not always) put a coat of Renassaince Wax on all copper and brass items but you should know this.

Copper and brass can turn your fingers green but it is completely harmless and can be washed off with soapy water. Not everyone will react this way though, it depends on a person’s metabolism. The same bracelet which remains shiny for one person will turn another person's wrist green or may acquire multicoloured patinas on another.

If you are concerned or really don’t like the green, a simple coat of clean nail polish applied every few months to the inside will do the trick!
