Sure, but there are limitations. I cannot infringe on any copyright or registered trademark, or replicate someone elses' work.

Well, since I have many allergies, I try to keep my space as clean as possible. My Apartment is smoke free, and I keep my workspace free of common food allergens. I do have a cat, and he does not climb on my work area or come in direct contact with my materials and supplies, but occasionally sleeps on the floor next to my supply bin when I'm working. :)

Shipping has become expensive in the past few years, and while I try to keep the cost low, I still have to pay for it to get your item to you!  I will ship via USPS Priority mail by default due to the packaging, security and tracking.  The base price of shipping is $11.00 per order. Note that USPS Priority Mail is not a guaranteed service, and I can only give you the expected delivery date that USPS gives me. You will receive full tracking and I will insure the package for it's full value. I will ship UPS or FedEx but I don't know offhand what those shipping charges will be until I get a quote from the carrier.   Please understand that I am NOT responsible for lost or misdirected packages.  I will do my best to contact the carrier to resolve the situation, but in the past the person I am shipping to had been responsible for containing the carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc) about their lost package.  

Nickel allergies are the very common allergy causing material, and I cannot guarantee your piece is free of this material, unless I specifically note that it is on the item's page.

The Federal Trade Commission, with the cooperation of the Jewelers Vigilance Commission , American Gem Trade Association, as well as several other organizations requires sellers of gemstones to declare a) if the gemstone is natural, and/or b) what enhancements have been applied to gemstones. These measures are in place to prevent unfair or deceptive trade practices. Here are the common ones I will be using: (N) Meaning it's a natural gemstone with no enhancements. (D) Dyeing: The introduction of coloring matter into a gemstone to give it color, intensify present color or improve color uniformity. (H) Heating: The use of heat to effect desired alteration of color, clarity and/or phenomena. You can find more information on gemstones and their enhancements at AGTA.com: http://agta.org/gemstones/agta-gim.pdf and http://www.firemountaingems.com/resources/encyclobeadia/charts/c76f

No, sorry. I have had too many packages to international destinations disappear in transit.
