5 out of 5 starsI’ve bought these earrings twice now because they are just so lovely! The warmest gold, the softest finish, the most perfectly imperfect handmade shape. Shipping takes a little time from Greece to the US, but much less than you’d think — and for this kind of quality, any wait is *so* worth it. Plus, the shop owner is so kind. I know I’ll keep coming back here for a long time.

5 out of 5 starsWould improve the shipping by making sure the earrings are sitting fast in some bubble wrap, cotton, or other material. Otherwise, all great!

Frequently asked questions
Do you have care instructions?
Yes, please see the specific item you interesting, as there's other care instructions for silver or gold plated items and also different instructions for different gemstones, pearls etc.
Gift wrapping and packaging
Yes, I offer gift packaging. All my jewelry arrives in a gift box with bow inside a gauze pouches for safe transport and are ideal for gift.
If you're sending a gift directly to the recipient, a note letting them know who the gift is from is usually a good idea, i can write a sort messages too, but long messages are not possible.
How do i figure out my ring size?
You can always go to your local jewelry store and have your ring size measured there.
Otherwise, take a ring you are currently wearing and to measure its INSIDE diameter (distance across) in millimeters.
*** Please note: Be sure to compare it with a ring same width as the ring you are ordering. Ring comfort depends mainly on the width of the ring. Wider rings tend to feel tighter than thinner ones. So, if you are interested in a wide band ring you must measure a wide band ring that's because we often wear wider rings bigger sizes in band rings than in thin rings.
When will my order ship?
I am shipping regular orders in 1-2 business days after your payment.
If your jewelry is made to order, please allow 7 business days after your payment.
I ship every order by registered mail with a track number via Hellenic-post.
I need to return or exchange an item. How do i go about it?
If a refund is necessary, then the item needs to be returned to me unworn and in perfect condition. Proof of shipping will be required from the buyer and the item must reach me first before a refund will be given.
If you request a replacement piece, then the new item will not be dispatched until the first one has been received back by me. All return shipping costs will be the responsibility of the Buyer.Unfortunately I cannot accept returns or refunds on custom orders and these transactions are final.
For my ceramic jewels: if an item is broken on arrival, there is no need to return, just send a photo within a few days and I can replace (at no extra shipping cost) or refund, whatever is best for you.
Can i request a custom or personalized order?
Yes of corse i accept custom orders!
If you need anything made especially for you please feel free to contact me to discuss details and possibilities. We will work on this together. :)
Gemstone Properties and meanings
There are many books that write about the metaphysical properties of gemstones and crystals, in addition to color therapy. My shop offers a general idea, obtained from popular books and media, about the meaning of the gemstones and crystals. Because a crystal or gemstone is said to have one or more healing properties, either physical, mental, emotional or spiritual, it does not mean that you will definitely experience effects or benefit from any such properties. These informations are not a substitute for medical advice and does not promise specific outcomes.
Does your sterling silver contain nickel? What is oxidized?
No, sterling silver contains 92.5 percent pure silver and 7.5 percent copper.
I use dark patina to make oxidized items. The oxidized effect is a hematite finish or is almost black in color. Please note this process is not permanent, as wear and tear can buff away the layers of darkening causing an almost antique effect eventually.
