A Note About Our Jewelry
Each piece is individually handcrafted by me, Katya Le Blanc. This means a number of things to you, when you decide to purchase.
First, you may have the option of customizing almost any aspect of the piece to your needs (see below). I am happy to work with you to help you match your ideas to my designs.
Second, I do not maintain a stock of each piece. Every thing you see on this site is a one-of-a-kind piece. Once an item is sold however, I still offer the option for a custom order. Items available for immediate purchase have a shopping cart link, items that have been sold will have a link to this page. Due to the nature of custom orders and the availability of materials, your order may take a variable amount of time to ship. I will let you know in advance of purchase when you can expect to receive an item.
In any case, please contact me regarding custom orders!
Customize almost anything!
Below is a list (which is in no way exhaustive) of the ways in which you can customize your purchase to better suit your needs.
Clip-on earrings
For no additional charge, I can switch any pair of earrings to silver plated clip-on earrings. Keep in mind the weight of the piece when considering this option. Sterling silver clip-on earrings are also available for an additional $10.00 and require a special order.
Change from French earwires to posts or leverbacks on any pair of earrings (or vice versa). This option may require an additional charge and couple of days to fulfill, depending on supplies.
Customize the length
On many necklaces (and some dangling earrings) I can adjust the length to your specifications. This may involve an additional charge.
Change the clasp
Clasps can be changed to a larger, smaller, or a completely different clasp. Depending on your choice, this may involve a discount or an additional charge.
Change the gemstones or metal
If you like a particular style, in most cases I can replicate it in any gemstone, or color of Swarovski crystal. I can also make a custom style with any gemstone or crystal that catches your eye. In addition, I can create a completely customized piece just for you based on your specifications. Depending on the gemstones and metals used (14 karat gold is also available), custom pieces may require a deposit.
What you can expect
I will always advise you in advance of additional costs. For custom pieces, the price provided initially will be an estimate. I will try my best to stick to that estimate, but circumstances beyond my control may increase (or decrease!) the cost to me. I will notify you of any changes before I make an order for special supplies (the deposit becomes non-refundable once I have special ordered supplies).
Don’t be afraid to ask for any other special changes you would like to make to a piece!
