Quality & Construction
Quality is not something that wavers; we use the finest metals and products including Sterling Silver (.925), 18K gold, and Vermeil that is sterling silver with a 14K gold overlay ranging from 2 to 4 microns. All of our pieces are cast and hand polished. The handcrafted nature of our pieces ensures you are receiving genuine designer jewelry that has been cared for and checked for quality. All beading and assembly is done by hand, with no single looping or costume findings. Quality is a belief in care and detail, from the models created in the studio, to the meticulous quality control of the finished product.

Options
Jewelry is a chance to diversify and make your outfit a reflection of your personality and style. When I design a collection, I always make multiple sizes, lengths, and colors to give everyone a complement to their mood, shape, or fashion. With that in mind, the collections are diverse and have multiple options to create pieces as individual as the wearer.I hope you enjoy! ~ Wendy
BEAD & STONE OPTIONS
To complete the look and character of our metal, we use stones that have small inclusions and color variations that attest to their quality and natural state. Currently, we use many semi-precious gems and diamonds with our collections. Gemstones in the jewelry include Apatite, Aquamarine, Blue Topaz, Carnelian, Turquoise, Peridot, Pink Tourmaline, Garnet, Moonstone, Smokey Quartz, Citrine, Labradorite, Pearl, Amethyst, Iolite, and many more...
CORD, CHAIN & SUEDE OPTIONS
All of the necklaces are offered on chain, waxed cotton cord or faux suede. There are many benefits and attributes to each material.
Chain: Cable chain is the most common link style we use in our line, and we carry many different sizes ranging from very thin, delicate loop size up to large fashion chain. The cable chain is finished with a lobster claw clasp or toggle bar and eye. With the lobster claw, we like to offer you as much flexibility as possible so almost all the items in our line are designed with an extra "eye" at the end for you to adjust the length by up to 2 inches.
Cord: Our waxed cotton cord does not kink, knots with more strength and durability, and the colors do not fade and change like their leather counterparts. It is also safe to wear in water. By using cotton instead of leather, we feel its a better option for the environment with quality attributes you enjoy with your jewelry. If you decide you'd like to have it replaced with age, we are always happy to replace your cord free of charge. With its durable nature, most people find it will last many years.
Colors Available: Black, Brown, Teal, Red, Navy, Natural, Blue
Suede: We currently use a faux suede to avoid the use of any animal hide or material, and it has a very soft, lush feel that allows pendants to fall very naturally. Its soft flexibility also allows for easy wear when removing or putting on a necklace. Depending on the scale of the pendant, we use a suede lace that is 3 mm wide or 5 mm wide for larger items.
Colors Available: Black, Brown, Wine
Choosing Your Length
For wearability, many of our necklaces are offered in two lengths. Lariats are only offered in their individual length, and we offer a number of unique styles that allow the wearer to adjust them in a number of looks.LARIAT TIP: Pull your lariat through the loop twice. This will keep it in place without sliding.
Choker Length (15-16 inches) – While a choker is considered 14-16 inches, a 16 inch necklace is a standard length for many women, and will fall at or just below the collar bone.
Princess Necklace (17-18 inches) – This is the most common length for necklaces which will often fall below the collar bone into the center or lower chest.
Matinee Necklace (20-25 inches) – This is a fabulous look for evening and business which will generally fall around the bosom for most women. This length is typically worn over higher collars, straight necklines or with evening and casual dresses.
Opera Necklace (26-36 inches) – The extended length in this option gives the wearer an opportunity to make a bold statement, possibly create a double-strand, or even knot the necklace when appropriate. A large pendant would swing around the middle to upper stomach region with this length.
Rope (48 inches) – Our ropes are created to be worn as single, double, or triple strand necklaces. The extra length allows versatility that can’t be matched. They are a must-have for layering.
Bracelets: Our bracelets are a standard 7 inches unless otherwise noted, and in such cases, we offer 6 1/2, 7, 8, or 9 inches. We are always happy to create custom lengths for you as well.
