Made to Order
JAMES jewelry is Made to Order. The stones and other natural materials used may vary in color, size and shape. No two pieces of jewelry will be identical because each stone has its own unique beauty and characteristics. Many pieces are truly one of a kind or limited in reproduction due to the rarity of the stone's availability.
Custom Jewelry
JAMES will customize jewelry to suit individual preferences. We can alter existing designs or create a unique piece. We can incorporate birthstones or special stones from antique jewelry or finds from a trip.
Please contact the designer, Cynthia Brennan at Cynthia@jamesny.com or 914-514-8981. Custom designs are non-refundable or exchangeable. A non-refundable deposit of 50% is required at the beginning of the custom process.
Jewelry Care Your jewelry is individually designed and hand-crafted. All the beads are natural materials. The highest quality nylon coated wire, silk and nylon cord are used for stringing. Most pieces are sturdy enough for everyday wear, but please treat them gently. We recommend the following instructions for jewelry care:
- Store the pieces laying flat.
- Do not roll or fold pieces strung on wire, not even for travel.
- Put your jewelry on after perfume and other potentially corrosive substances
- After wearing wipe your jewelry with a soft cloth
- Use a good quality silver or metal cleaner in the areas needed
- Do not use any cleaners with ammonia bleach or abrasives
- Pieces strung on wire are water resistant, not waterproof
- Pieces strung on thread must not be wet
- Store your piece separate from other jewelry to prevent tarnish and to retain its shine.
- Beware of young hands stretching or breaking the strands!
