FAQ

Where do you ship?

A: We ship worldwide from Houston, Texas, USA. Occasionally we travel to Taiwan to visit family, before which we often accommodate free shipping to Asia.

Do you take custom orders?

A: We do! It’s our pleasure and honor to craft your dream piece. Please tell us about your custom request via the contact form or email us at elsieredhandmade@gmail.com, and we will go from there!

Do you offer gift wrapping?

A: While we do not offer gift wrapping, every order is hand-packaged with care in stamped kraft box and ready to be gifted.

How to take care of your pieces?

A: Wear with care and always be gentle. Below are a few guidelines:

  • Avoid contact with harsh chemicals, perfumes, and lotions to prevent tarnishing.
  • Remove jewelry before swimming, showering, or engaging in vigorous activities.
  • Clean gently with a soft cloth to maintain shine.
  • Store in a dry, sealed container to prevent scratching and tarnishing.

What metals do you use in your work?

A: Most of the pieces are made with 14K gold fill wires, spacer beads, and other findings. Occasionally we use gold plated post earring findings with sterling silver post.

What is 14K gold fill and how does it differ from gold plated and solid gold?

A: 14K gold fill consists of a thick layer of 14K gold mechanically bonded to a base metal core, typically brass or copper. The solid gold accounts for at least 5% of the metal’s total weight. It offers the look and durability of solid gold at a more affordable price point. 14K gold fill jewelry is resistant to tarnishing and suitable for everyday wear.

Gold plated jewelry features a thin layer of gold electroplated onto a base metal, such as brass or silver. While it offers an attractive gold finish at a lower cost, the gold layer can wear off over time with regular use, exposing the base metal underneath.

Solid gold jewelry is made entirely of gold, typically 10K, 14K, 18K, or 24K. The karatage indicates the purity of the gold, with higher karats containing a higher percentage of gold. Solid gold jewelry is prized for its longevity, resistance to tarnishing, and enduring value. However, it tends to be more expensive than gold fill or gold plated options due to its higher gold content.

I love Mozambique garnet

I love Mozambique garnet, and this is one of the prettiest I've seen. I love how Elsie framed out the main stone. Her use of Swarovski crystals as accent on the chain just adds to the beauty. It truly makes this necklace one I will be proud to hand down to my daughters and granddaughter. In fact, all three women are going thru my jewelry, many things made by Elsie, already and putting their names on pieces, and I'm not even dead yet! If course, they don't mean to hurry things a long, but they are imagining wearing these different items with their own wardrobes some day, and I think it's funny but their dad doesn't. I told him to chill, women love jewelry, it's not being disrespectful, just fun. Thank you for another beauty, Elsie!

I genuinely really love it. Please make it OOAK and don’t remake the same! I’ve literally worn it every day that I’m out!

Every natural stone in the accessories Elsie creates has the warm Texas sunshine inside. They shine gently on the skin of whoever wears them, regardless of age, gender, nationality, or race. Her accessories are also loved by a lot of fans in Japan. Some designs look cute with kimono and traditional colors!

Natural Kingman Turquoise prong set solitaire ring twist band in 14K gold fill size US 5

I found Elsie’s ring on Etsy a few days before Christmas. It was exactly what I was looking for, however, because it was for my 13-year-old granddaughter. I really wanted to have it to give to her on Christmas Day. Elsie went over and above to make sure it was sent priority mail that day and I received it in plenty of time for Christmas and it was beautiful. I would definitely order from her again without any hesitation.

Natural Baltic Amber square wire wrapped pendant in antique brass necklace

Loved the little pendant. I wasn't aware of how small the bail was on it, so I had to return it so the chain could be included. The seller was awesome about it, and it's already being shipped back to me.

These were the most beautiful earrings I had ever seen I couldn't help but buy them when they went on sale. They arrived fast with beautiful packaging and were even more beautiful in person! I also ordered another necklace the following day and Elsie kindly refunded the shipping without me even asking and sent them together. Amazing craftsmanship and beautiful designs. I can't wait for more! 😁
