what are miyuki delica beads?
miyuki delicas are premium japanese glass beads world-renowned for their exceptional quality and precision. unlike standard round beads, delicas are perfectly cylindrical, allowing them to fit together seamlessly like tiny bricks. this creates a smooth, fabric-like texture and crisp, detailed patterns that aren't possible with other beads.
is the jewelry waterproof?
while glass beads are naturally durable, the thread and gold-plated details are sensitive to moisture. to keep your jewelry looking new, i recommend removing it before swimming, showering, or exercising.
how do I care for my jewelry?
a gentle wipe with a soft, dry cloth is usually all that is needed. avoid contact with perfumes, lotions, and harsh chemicals, as these can damage the gold plating over time. when not in use, store your pieces in a dry, padded box or pouch to prevent scratches.
where do you ship?
currently Canada and USA
how long does shipping take?
since every piece is handmade by me alone, please allow for a production period before shipping. once dispatched, standard delivery typically takes 3 to 5 business days, though this can vary based on your local postal service and customs processing.
who makes the jewelry?
every single item is hand-woven exclusively by me in my studio. there are no machines or factories involved; just a loom, needle, thread, beads and many hours of careful work.
can I request a custom size?
absolutely. because I make every piece to order, I am happy to adjust the length of a cuff or the size of a ring to fit you perfectly. please use the contact form to provide your measurements.
what if I don't know my size?
for rings, i recommend measuring the circumference of your finger with a piece of string or visiting a local jeweler. for cuffs, measuring your wrist snugly with a flexible measuring tape is best.
