Rules and Restrictions

- Original and public domain characters are welcomed.  

- Commissions requests for fan art or fan characters must be accompanied with the written permission of the copyright holder.

- No mature, inappropriate, political, religious, or offensive pieces. Requests related to real people, places, and organizations will be considered on a case by case basis.

- No bone, coral, fur, or leather. I will only use vegan versions of these materials. 

- Do not ask me to copy other people's work or style.

- You are not allowed to copy, claim credit for, or resell my works. Works inspired by my original characters and stories must include a citation (ex. this character belongs to craftsbyblue) and a link to either my DeviantArt gallery or Instagram account. 

- I will not label the package as a gift or falsify price values on the customs form.


Payment

I accept payment through DeviantArt (points) or Etsy. 

Once I receive the payment in full, I will order materials and start crafting.


Shipping


Shipping price depends on your location, the weight of the piece, and how quickly you need the piece to be delivered.

I recommend choosing USPS Priority Mail or USPS Priority Mail Express as your shipping option, as it includes up to $50 and $100 of insurance, respectively. Higher levels of insurance coverage are available on request.

If you choose priority shipping and your package is lost, stolen, or damaged, please contact me within 60 days of the mailing date so that I can file a claim with USPS. I will do what I can to fix the issue, and if my filed claim succeeds, I will give you a partial or full refund depending on the amount of money returned.

Standard shipping does not automatically come with insurance. If your package is lost, I will try my best to locate it, but will not be able to offer you a refund.


Return Policy


I do not accept returns, exchanges, or cancellations, with one exception: if you chose a shipping method that includes insurance and your package gets lost, stolen, or damaged in transit, I may be able to offer a partial or full refund. Please see the Shipping section for more information.


Prices


Prices are determined by materials price, crafting time, and shipping price. The materials and crafting prices can be lowered if you are fine with removing some details from the piece, and/or swapping for cheaper materials.

Shipping price is determined by the carrier, please see the Shipping section for more info.

The prices listed below are starting prices and do not include shipping fees. If you'd like an exact quote, please send me a note. Additionally, my DeviantArt shop/Commissions widget listings include the price of standard domestic shipping.

TimelinE


All items in my store are made to order. I will give you an estimate of how long your piece will take, and keep you updated throughout the process.

The time I need to create your piece ranges between 1-12 weeks. Depending on the rarity of the material and whether I am ordering from a local or international supplier, it can take between 2-8 weeks for materials to arrive. For most pieces, I need around 2-4 weeks for design and crafting.

For faster delivery, I recommend choosing USPS Priority Mail, which usually delivers within the US in 1-3 business days. Delivery times may be longer during holidays.

For standard shipping, international orders can take between 10 days to over two months to arrive.


How to OrdeR


Please send me a note titled Custom Order Request with the following info:

1) What you'd like me to create. Feel free to give as much detail as you want, I'll ask follow-up questions if I need more information. 

Feel free to send design sketches and ideas for materials. If you send me a design of your own to craft or request art of your original characters, I will not resell or remake the piece for anyone else unless you give me permission to do so. In requesting your original characters, you grant me permission to create a piece based on your character's design, personality, and/or story.

2) Your address/country, so I can calculate the shipping price.

3) Payment method (points or Etsy).


If you have any allergies, please let me know. I will work with you to create a list of materials to be used for your piece. In purchasing the piece, you agree that I take no responsibility for adverse reactions you have to it.

Once we've confirmed the price, I will ask you to send payment. 
If paying via DA: I will create a commission widget(s) for you.
If paying via Etsy: I will create a custom private listing for you and send you the link.


FAQs


I'd like a remake of one of your gallery pieces.

I am happy to remake any of the original works in my gallery. 

As my items are handmade, the piece you receive may look slightly different from the one in the photo. I will try my best to get a stone of similar size and quality as the one in the photo. Keep in mind that it is extremely rare to find two gemstones that look identical.

Requests for fan art or fan characters will be declined unless you present the written permission of the copyright holder.

I'd like an existing piece remade with a different color, gemstone, design, and/or size.

Please contact me about what you would like.

Note that customizations may result in a different price from what is stated in the original listing. Some wire colors, gemstones, etc. more expensive than others, and material prices can change due to market availability, demand, and/or discontinuation.

How durable are your pieces?

My pieces are made from copper wire, which is malleable even when hammered. The wires can be damaged if you forcefully bend or pull hard on them, apply sharp cutting tools, etc. For adjustable pieces like rings and bracelets, please adjust the wires gently, pressing the sides against your finger or wrist.

In addition, some materials, like Swarovski crystals and aluminum roses, can break under excessive force. These can be substituted with more durable materials, such as gemstone beads, on request.

Please take care not to drop gemstone pendants, as some stones (ex. labradorite) can crack or break when dropped.

All pieces have been tested for durability under normal wear and adjustments.

Hey! Can I know if you ever re-open these? (I'd love to get a jewelry piece for my partner, and your work is stunning!!)
