Sterling Silver

• Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper, hence the description .925. I use nickel free sterling silver.
  

Argentium Silver

• Argentium silver is a sterling silver alloy which modifies the traditional alloy (92.5% silver + 7.5% copper) by replacing some of the copper with germanium. As it contains at least 92.5% silver content of the traditional alloy, it is still referred to as sterling silver. Many people who are allergic to copper find argentium silver much more comfortable to wear.
  

Fine Silver

• Also referred to as pure silver. Fine silver contains 99.9% silver. The 1% balance contains trace amounts of impurities.

Gold Plated

• Base metal (steel or brass) is dipped into electroplating solution containing a lump of gold. An electric current is applied, and a thin layer of gold is deposited on the metal. Since the plating is quite thin, the plate (and hence the color) can wear off.
  

Gold Vermeil

• Sterling silver that has been gold-plated. (Pronounced Vermay)
  

Gold Filled

• Base metal (usually brass) covered by sheets of gold using a mechanical bonding process. Gold content is 5% or 1/20 of the total weight; generally 14k gold. It is hard wearing and with reasonable care, will not peel or flake. Should last as long as solid 14k gold jewelry. Also known as rolled gold.
  Gold filled jewelry has 100x more gold than gold filled.

All pieces are handmade, and your piece may vary slightly from the one pictured. Think snowflakes: each one beautiful and just a little different than all the others.
All items are made with the same care and attention to quality and detail.

Most of my items are made to order and have 1 - 3 day processing time. This countdown starts the day after your order is placed and includes weekdays only.

Once an item has been put in the mail, the shipping time is the amount of time Canada Post estimates it will take to get your package from my place to yours.
Canada: Free Shipping (3 – 7 business days)

United States: $8.00 (5 – 10 business days)

Everywhere Else: $10.00 (10 – 15 business days)

Shipments travelling outside of Canada can take longer to arrive than stated by Canada Post, due to customs clearance backlogs in the recipient country.

Customs/VAT/Duty are set by the receiving country and are the responsibility of the person picking up their package at the Post Office.

It is a federal offence to be dishonest when filling out customs declarations.
