FAQs

Other than the website, where can I shop your jewelry? 

The collection of jewelry you see on the website can be found at Silver Peak Studio and Gallery: 100 E. Cleveland, Old Town Lafayette, CO. 

I also frequent art shows and festivals, so I encourage you to follow me on Instagram where I post those events @stoicsagedesigns

What metal is used in your work? 

All jewelry that you see on my website is made using gold-filled, sterling silver, argentium silver, and/or fine silver. 

What does gold-filled mean? 

Gold filled is a layered material made by permanently bonding a layer of gold to a base metal using heat and pressure. The gold layer must be at least 5% of the total weight of the item by law, which is 100 times thicker than gold plating. The base metal is usually brass. Gold filled metals are a great way to wear gold as it does not tarnish like brass or gold plated materials and is an extremely cost effective way to wear gold. 

What is your return policy? 

Each piece comes with a 30 day guarantee should there be a defect in the design or an issue with its construction. You may return it for a full refund including shipping. 

What is your cancellation policy for your workshops? 

Due to the small number of spaces in each workshop, refunds will not be given should your plans change or should you be unable to make the class. However, if more than 24 hours notice is given, you may use the class credit for a future class. 

 

 

 

Product Care & Tips

As with all handmade and hand designed jewelry, it is important to care for your pieces properly. Moisture, lotions, oils, etc. are the root of all evil when it comes to jewelry, so it is encouraged to store your jewelry in dry places where there is low humidity and to take your jewelry off when washing your hands or applying any lotions, oils, hand sanitizers, etc. 

CHILDREN: Let's face it, many people stop wearing jewelry when they have kids because the littles love to pull and tug the "shiny things." Oftentimes, if a child pulls on a necklace or earring and it "breaks," it can easily be fixed by reconnecting the jump hoop. I have walked people through this process on FaceTime, so if this happens, let's jump on a call and see if we can fix it together.
