Return Policy: 

I want you to be tickled with your Pickled Beads Jewelry purchase. If for some reason you are not completely happy, please contact me. Returns must be made within 14 days of receipt. You will receive a store credit for your returned merchandise. Please contact me for the return mailing address. The shipping and handling charge is not refundable and you are responsible for return shipping.  Conditions:
  • Merchandise must be in the original condition. Used items will not be accepted.
  • Return all packaging (the gift box and the organza bag) and return in the original shipping container.
  • It is advised that you insure your return shipment.  I cannot accept or take responsibility for goods lost or damaged in return shipping.

Once your merchandise is received, I will email you to let you know that I have received the item and will issue you your store credit.

Insurance Policy:

Your packages are shipped via USPS with Delivery Confirmation.  Insurance is NOT included with the shipping and handling.  If you would like to have your package insured, please make this request in the "Add Instructions to Seller" section during checkout, or let me know in advance and I can manually email you an invoice for your purchase.  The insurance fees are:  

Fee . . . . . . . . . . Insurance Coverage

  If insurance is not specifically requested during checkout, I cannot be responsible for packages that are lost or damaged during delivery.


60 Day Warranty Policy:

I provide the finest quality components available. All bracelets are made with 49 flexible strands of solid steel coated in silky kink-free nylon. This beading wire is the strongest available and can hold up extremely well under daily stresses. However, jewelry tends to take a beating just under normal wear and everyone's threshold of 'normal' wear and tear is different.  Please thoroughly inspect the product's quality immediately upon receipt.  If your item becomes defective within 60 days,  you may return your item to me for a free repair.  After 60 days, there will be a fee to repair your jewelry.   Return shipping is included in the repair fees.

Repair Charges:

Single Strand Bracelet or Necklace:  $15.00

Double or Triple Strand Bracelet or Necklace: $20.00

If the item does not require re-stringing, a nominal repair charge will be applied.  Please contact me to discuss your repair.


A little about the components that I use:

STERLING SILVER
Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper.

SWAROVSKI CRYSTALS
Genuine 32% lead "Strauss" crystal from Swarovski of Austria.  These are more expensive than other crystal types but they have the best sparkle and flash. Swarovski crystal pearls are also used.  These are crystals that have been coated with a pearl luster to give them the look of a high luster pearl.  Swarovski stands behind their product and guarantee that the finish of these pearls will last.

BIRTHSTONE CRYSTALS
If I ever mention birthstones, these are all Swarovski Crystals. Common Gemstone names have been given to the crystals that most resemble them.  I occasionally use actual gemstones but the description will be very clear when gemstones are being used.

LAMPWORK BEADS
The art of lampworking was developed in Africa more than 3000 years ago. Artists use an open flame known as a lamp and a blowpipe to introduce oxygen to create a hot flame melts the glass. Current torches are still referred to as lamps hence the name “Lampworking”. Glass comes in a wide array of colors and to create each bead the colors are applied and melted individually onto each bead, ultimately making each bead a work of beautiful art in itself.

FRESHWATER PEARLS:  Freshwater pearls are a kind of cultured pearl that comes from freshwater mussels.  I am picky about the quality of my freshwater pearls and only use pearls with high luster and a smooth finish.

GOLD-FILLED BEADS
Unlike gold plated beads that only uses a microscopic film of gold, hence the gold coming off, gold-filled beads have a layer of karat gold, not just a microscopic film. 14k gold filled is at least 14/20th gold by weight.

There's been a lot of discussion recently about the lead found in Swarovski crystals.   Lead is not harmful to humans unless it is inhaled or ingested.  IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU SUPERVISE CHILDREN WHILE THEY ARE WEARING BEADED CRYSTAL JEWELRY.  With enough force, some components may become detached and pose a choking hazard.  Swarovski crystals should not be ingested.  Please do not allow children to play with beads or let them place any jewelry, charms, clasps, etc. in their mouths.  Do not allow your child to sleep in beaded jewelry.   Many of my children's products are LEAD FREE.
