Frequently Asked Questions
What Does Hand Stamping Mean?
I use a traditional hand-stamping process and not an engraving machine. Each letter/symbol is hammered into the metal one at a time using individual stamping tools. I cannot scale text or images to make them bigger or smaller.The stamping process creates deep impressions in the metal. I can only stamp on one side of the piece. If a listing offers text on both sides, it cannot overlap.
Variations in spacing and letter/number alignment may occur. These differences should not been seen as defects, but rather adding to the charm and uniqueness of each piece. These cuffs are handmade and not made with a machine, so no two items will ever look exactly alike.

My jewelry is packaged in black craft gift box. If your purchase is intended as a gift, please leave me a note in the "Include this message with my gift" box during the checkout process and I will be happy to include a gift card.What Happens If It Doesn't Fit?
Size or length of jewelry is the buyer's responsibility. Please read the product description for each piece for sizing details. If you have ANY questions about the correct size, please contact me prior to ordering. Most of the time it's as simple as using a measuring tape or piece of string and a ruler. Not all items can be re-sized. If it can be adjusted there is a resizing fee that is different for each product.What Happens If There Is a Misspelled Word OR Grammar Error?
If your text is different that what was requested on your order and the mistake was on my end I will gladly send out a replacement at no additional cost to you.If however your cuff was created with the text indicated on the order the cuff cannot be returned or exchanged as it is a final sale.
I cannot remove the text (to reuse the cuff) or stamp over existing letters. The hand stamping process causes deep groves in the metal that cannot be sanded down without impacting the overall look of the cuff or impacting the integrity of the metal.
I am unable to replace metal plates on leather cuffs without risking damage to either the leather or the metal plate.
As a small business, each piece is made with care and time devoted to each order. We cannot afford to send out free replacements for items that were created per the customers' directions.

What Is The Best Way To Clean My Jewelry?

Can Sterling Silver Cause My Skin To Turn Black/Green?
Yes. Even solid .925 sterling silver can cause a reaction with your skin. This happens more often with wider band rings and cuffs or when you stack rings/bracelets together, which allows moister to get trapped between the piece and the skin.Sterling Silver is 92.5% silver, but the other 7.5% is made from copper, which gives the metal its strength.
If your piece is turning your skin green, it is either tarnishing (because moisture is getting trapped between the ring/cuff and the skin. This is most likely the case) or it is happening because your skin is sensitive to copper, which is present in ALL sterling silver in very minute quantities.
The discoloration is not harmful to one's health, and is readily washed off with soap and water. It even happens to me every time I wear wide band rings or when I stack rings together!
