The materials used to create these designs include:  Fine Gemstones, Glass, Agate, Wood, Pearl and other natural stones. 

           I haven't yet graduated into sterling silver or 14 carat gold in order to keep pricing affordable.  Therefore, the plated silver and gold findings can discolor over time.  Storing them out of the sun will prolong the look. 

           Most of the metal beads are pewter, copper or plated.  I have very rarely used plastic in any of my designs.

           Clean the stones and beads with a polishing cloth, not jewelry cleaner. 

           I hope that you will enjoy your purchase for many years to come!
