Conditions of Use:  Please review all the information available on my shipping, returns and replacement policies.

Terms of Sale: I guarantee any lampworked bead I make to be durable under normal use and will replace any bead that cracks under normal wear or stress. All my beads are carefully annealed in a digitally-controlled kiln and examined closely before sale for any possible cracks or defects. I will not knowingly sell a bead that is anything but the finest quality.

All lampworked beads sold by me are made from quality glass. Although each bead has been properly kiln annealed, it is still a glass bead, and can break if improperly handled, dropped, hit against something hard or exposed to sudden temperature changes. This may cause breakage which will produce broken glass pieces or sharp edges that could cause injury. When wearing glass beads please take care not to expose them to any situations that may cause them to break and be sure to protect them from impacts or extreme temperature changes. As with any broken object, please discard immediately. The spacers and other beads provided in my sets should also be treated in the same fashion.

Please note that even with extra care taken to make sure that all photographs of beads and jewelry are as close to the actual colors of the various items, the variations in computer displays may give a different color or saturation of color. If you receive any item that you feel does not match up with your expectations I am happy to work with you on resolving the issue to your satisfaction.

Privacy Policy: I will never share/sell/barter/whisper any of your personal information with anyone else...ever.

Payment:  I accept payment through Paypal and all major credit cards through PayPal's secure shopping cart system (no Paypal account required to pay with credit card).

Sales Tax: Washington State residents pay 9% sales tax. The sales tax will be added to your total during checkout.

Shipping:  I offer free shipping inside the US on all items (shipping with USPS First Class). International air mail is a low flat rate of US$3.75. If you require other shipping options, for example priority mail, please contact me after placing your order. 

International customers - please note:

  • Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
  • Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying.
  • These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up -- do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.
  • I will not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as “gifts” - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
  • Please also note that international packages are sometimes delayed more than usual because of customs.
Refund Policy: NO RISK SHOPPING! Your satisfaction with your purchase is a MUST!  If you are for whatever reason not happy with your purchase, please contact me immediately. Within 30 days of purchase, a full refund of the purchase price (less shipping) will be refunded upon return of the item.
Regardless of the issue or time passed, please contact me with any issues or concerns, so that I can do whatever is needed to make your experience with my beads the best for you! 


Please feel free to email me with any questions. I am always happy to answer questions, and talk to my customers!
