Great jewelry is art that you wear. Just as a painter uses oils and watercolor, or a sculptor uses marble, a jeweler uses precious metals, stones, pearls, and other materials to express his art in jewelry form.

My jewelry designs are inspired by nature, art and architecture. Nature lends endless ideas in form, color and texture. Art through the ages often inspires me. An individual piece or an entire art movement might be the muse to spark the idea for a new jewelry design. Architecture is a form of sculpture, and the Art Deco period especially is often reflected in the shapes incorporated into my designs.

All of the jewelry in my collection offered at Bonanzle is either designed by me, or hand selected by me as representative of the art of jewelry. I often see designs made by others that I admire. Offering them to you here is my way of paying homage to those jewelry designers and sharing with you my particular sense of jewelry at its best; art that you wear.

You will find all of the pieces in my collection are eminently affordable. While we all can admire the art of LC Tiffany, or Faberge, few can afford such works. Every lady should have an ample collection of jewelry to accessorize her wardrobe. Great jewelry doesn't have to be expensive jewelry. Silver is my favorite material because it is casual AND chic, equally appropriate in a coffee house or a Broadway Theater. Inexpensive but highly versatile, I find silver the perfect material, allowing a lady to own a wide ranging collection. Inexpensive natural materials like mother of pearl, coral or Abalone are just as beautiful as ruby or diamond. Often more so in a great design, thus they often are incorporated into my jewelry.

Please check back often as I add designs regularly, and many are either one off creations not to be repeated, or are available in very limited quantity.

ALL SALES SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Payment

I accept all major credit and debit cards through safe and secure Google Checkout. As one of the worlds largest IT companies Google provides SSL (secure socket layer) transmission of your financial details which are only shared with Google and not the online mechant. Google Checkout is a faster, more secure way to buy from stores across the web using a single username and password. Use it once and stop creating new accounts every time you buy. Sign up once using a quick one page form, then just sign in using your username and password. With Google Checkout, you keep your credit card number confidential and track all orders from one place.

Your card will be authorized for the amount of your purchase at checkout. Your order will then be reviewed to ensure no red flags indicating possible fraud are present. Please make sure that your shipping address matches your card's billing address. I reserve the right to cancel any order that is not eligible for Google's payment guarantee policy, indicating a higher likelihood of fraud. You will receive a confirmation email of order acceptance from Google the same day as your order. Your card will not be charged until your item actually ships. These terms are required to avoid the many scams unfortunately associated with online retailing, and allow me to offer the lowest prices possible by limiting losses owing to fraud.

RETURNS

I want you to be absolutely delighted with your purchase so you will cherish it forever, and tell all your friends who admire your new jewelry where you found your new treasure. For this reason all my jewelry comes with an Unconditional Money Back Guarantee. If you are not completely pleased for any reason, just return the item in unused condition within 14 days from its postmark or shipping date and I will gladly refund all the money you have paid, less shipping. This should give you 7 to 10 days to review your new jewelry in your home and decide if it is perfect for you. I want happy customers that come back often and recommend me to friends.

Returns must be approved in advance and have a return authorization number issued by me. Return shipping must be insured and trackable and include delivery confirmation paid by the purchaser. Returns in excess of $250.00 also require delivery signature of recipient. I will advise of the least expensive shipping method that meets the above requirements and the return address when I issue the return authorization number. Credit will be issued upon review of the returned item to determine its unused condition as required above. Credit will be issued to the card you used to make the original purchase only. Your credit card company may take a period of days to actually make the credit available to you. This varies from card issuer to card issuer and is beyond my control.

SHIPPING

Unlike many online retailers, I do not use the deceptive practice of profiting from shipping and handling fees. Many online retailers tempt you with a cheap price, and then soak you with inflated shipping fees. My jewelry is shipped within the USA at a flat rate of $2.75, no matter how many pieces you purchase. Your item usually will ship the next business day. Your shipping address must match the billing address of the card used for purchase. Orders in excess of $250.00 require a signature upon delivery. I am willing to ship internationally on a case by case basis. Please contact me for approval and shipping charges, as rules and fees vary greatly country to country. Italy for instance does not allow the importation of ANY jewelry. All taxes, customs and duties and additional international shipping costs are the purchaser’s responsibility.

The weights and sizes described are approximate because there are very slight deviations from piece to piece as they are made.

Some pieces, especially those incorporating natural materials like Abalone vary due to variations in the material. No two pieces of Abalone are exactly the same. Such pieces are photographed individually so you can see exactly what you are buying. This fact is always noted in the item description.
