All sterling silver pieces are handcrafted by me—shaped, soldered, hammered and polished. The silver comes from a Canadian supplier, and is manufactured in Canada from Canadian and recycled silver. The chain they supply is manufactured in Italy.
I use a homemade, vinegar and salt pickling solution in my silver-smithing process.
My beaded designs (except Daisy Chains and Love Beads) are made using professional beading wire—it is good & strong, but will kink if bent. To store, keep beaded strands in a circular shape, or hang.
All beads are glass, silver, silver/gold-plated, semi-precious gems, or genuine Swarovski crystal. Purchased clasps (those not made by me) are lead-free, and either silver-plated, nickel-plated, or sterling silver.
All pieces bear my CherryBee jeweller's mark on a tag (except earrings).
