    Although we utilize lampwork glass beads that are kiln annealed by the lampwork artist, please be aware that it is GLASS and is susceptible to crack or break if dropped, handled roughly, or subjected to extreme, sudden temperature changes.  The properties of glass are such that it is subject to thermal expansion when introduced to high temperatures (e.g., worn into a jacuzzi or sauna) and may break or crack. Sculptural lampwork beads such as three dimensional flowers, leaves, animals, etc. are especially susceptible to breaking.

    Please discontinue usage if cracks, shattering, or defects occur and take the necessary precautions when discarding broken pieces in order to avoid injuries. As with any broken glass, sharp edges may cause physical injuries and/or damages.

Household chemicals such as hairsprays, perfumes, deodorants or detergents can adversely affect the appearance and or integrity of the jewelry.

    Storage - Store jewelry in airtight, sealed plastic bags to help maintain their shine. Anti-tarnish strips can be used to reduce the possiblity of tarnishing. Keep all jewelry in separate bags to avoid surface scratching, wire tangling, and other damage.  Do not store in rooms with high humidity levels (bathrooms, etc.). 

    Cleaning - Periodic polishing, with silver polishing cloth (on the silver portion of the jewelry), will help maintain your jewelry's original luster. Do not immerse pieces in silver cleaners as it will cause damage to your jewelry, especially gemstones, over prolonged use.

If measuring tape is unavailable, you may use string or ribbon and then measure the results with a ruler. Unless otherwise requested, we will size your bracelet 1/2 to 1 inch larger than your actual wrist size.

    Resizing is normally free of charge unless the item needs to be extended over two inches. There may be a slight change in appearance for items that are resized.

    About Lampwork Beads top

    The lampwork glass beads (that we use in our jewelry) are individually formed by self-representing glass artisans. Lampwork beads are created by the method of melting glass rods over a gas torch.  The heat of the flame and the use of a steel mandrel help to form the beads.  Each bead is then placed in a kiln to relieve stress  and help reduce the possibility of cracking (a process called kiln annealing).
