Want to learn how to solder in a fast, simple, and stress-free environment? Are you a little nervous about learning how to use a soldering iron and all the stuff that goes along with it to create amazing soft-soldered jewelry? Then my new course might be just what you need!
Want to have jewelry made from your own heirloom china? I can create the perfect keepsake for you from your favorite china, whether it be your mother's or grandmother's plate, a shard found in a special place, or a favorite find from a thrift shop. Check out some of my past custom orders below.

To request a custom order, contact me ([email protected]) and email me the following items:

1. Photos of the exact china piece that you would be sending me: front and back of the piece. I must see both the front and back so I can determine how thick/curved it is, etc. *The flatter the better!

2. Measurements of the piece- its best if you can show me in a photo with a ruler across the plate so I can know the exact diameter and determine the size of the pattern.

3. A note with what you would like made; shape/s, size, etc. Be as specific as you can, but don't worry if you are unsure. I can take a look and will let you know what I think will look best if you like.

Once you email me these things I will take a look and get back to you with a rough estimate of the cost. If you do not send the things listed above, you will not hear back from me! I recieve tons of custom requests so this makes the process much easier if you send me this info. right off the bat instead of us having to repeatedly go back and forth through email (this can increase the price as well due to time spent on order).

Custom work is always more expensive than what you would purchase directly from my Etsy shop because I am taking time away from my regular work to do a special order for you. That said, I do keep it as affordable as I can.

Please note: if you contact me through Etsy for custom work (as opposed to contacting me here) I add on a custom order fee of $10.00 to $15.00 per piece due to their extensive fees.

One last note: If I agree to do your order then you should not wait to mail me your china! This is because the date that I recieve your china marks your place in line for custom work. I have had folks in the past want orders and then they put off sending me their china, then they send it in November expecting to have their jewelry in time for the holidays... that won't work! The day I receive your china marks your place in line.
