Handcrafted jewelry

Due to the nature of handcrafted jewelry and natural stones, NO TWO PIECES WILL BE EXACTLY ALIKE, making each one of them a one-of-a-kind treasure. Variations and "imperfections" are part of the beauty & uniqueness of hand stamped items (all affirmation & personalized pieces). 

Shipping

  • For United States orders: all shipping methods will include tracking. If you would like tracking for an international order, please contact me and I will find the best option for your needs.

  • Orders will ship in 2 to 5 business days unless specified.
  • I pack my items very well, so I’m not responsible for items that are lost or damaged during transit. Please contact the carrier directly for any claim.

SIZE GUIDE

  • I offer many of my necklaces & bracelets with length options.
  • And a lot of the others can be custom ordered* in a longer or shorter size. Feel free to contact me with your requests.

         *Please note that additional charges may apply to custom orders.

  • To determine the ideal size to order, I recommend draping a string around your neck or wrist and cutting it once you have the desired length. Use that measurement as a guide for ordering the closest available size.
  • You can use that same string technique to verify if a piece will fit you properly.

      WOMEN’S NECKLACES:

  • The image below gives an idea of how various necklace lengths might hang on an average size woman’s body.
  • Please keep in mind that the fit will vary depending on the style: for example a delicate necklace and a chunky one will hang differently.
              
          WOMEN'S BRACELETS:
    • The average women's bracelet size is 7.5 inches, though we all know that wrists come in many shapes and sizes as we do.
    • If you’re not sure about what size to order, keep in mind that it's better for a bracelet to be slightly loose than snug.
    • If your wrists are between sizes, I suggest that you round up to the next largest size.
          CHILDREN'S NECKLACES (Mini-Goddess)
    • The size chart below can be used as a general guideline, but please keep in mind that every child is unique and different.

    • If mom would like a matching piece in an adult length, I'll be happy to create a twin necklace for her! Please contact me about ordering a custom size (additional charges will apply).

    JEWELRY CARE

    • You are purchasing a unique, handmade design (very different from the mass produced jewelry you find in retail chain stores) and they require a little extra attention. But with proper care, your jewelry piece will stay as beautiful & precious as the day you received it and will become a special heirloom that can be enjoyed by generations. 
    • If possible, store your jewelry in a sealed plastic bag or specially treated anti-tarnish box. And keep in mind that wearing it a lot is a great way to prevent tarnish.
    • Silver, gold-filled and copper do best when kept in an air-tight container, away from humidity, heat and direct sunlight.
    • I still recommend you take out your sterling silver jewelry every six months to polish and clean it. A thin layer of tarnish is easy to get rid of, but the thicker and blacker it is, the more permanent the stain.
    • Copper tarnishes faster than sterling silver, but is also easier to clean. Simply soak in lemon juice for 1-2 minutes, then polish with a gentle cloth. 
    • Do not submerge your special Magda Molina piece in jewelry cleaning solutions as it could damage some of the more porous stones.
    • The best way to clean/polish your jewelry is to use appropriately treated silver & gold cleaning cloths. They are gentle, safe and effective.
