  • There would be a small charge for changing an earwire from Silver-plate to Sterling Silver, but not necessarily for changing from an earwire to stud earring.
  • Lengthening a bracelet or necklace with an extension chain would incur a minimal cost, but having to adapt the whole design would be charged for on an hourly basis and for extra materials. It is often cheaper for the customer to start the design from scratch to suit their requirements.
  • Commissions and large alterations will require a 50% deposit once the design has been finalised but before the start of crafting the item.  The balance will be due on the final fitting date.
