Quick Guide to Customisations

1) Would you like it in Gold, Silver OR Brass?

2) Any specific colour preferences OR themes?

3) For bracelets : chunky charms, huge statements OR something more elegant, softer?

4) For earrings : Chandelier, hoops, mismatched? Also, any length preference?

5) For necklaces/lanyards : Any particular length?

FYI

Once I've started on attaching every individual bead - there's no turning back so please do NOT make any changes once agreed upon the design. I'll have to backtrack and this increases back log + lead time + opportunity cost.

_____________________________________________________________

FAQ'S

For earrings it can go from $20 to anything beyond.
For bracelets it starts from $20 to anything beyond.

Depending on the materials I'm using and if I do need to specifically import particular items e.g. vintage lucite flowers, tensha beads.
