Do I have to have a design stamp on the disk?
No, if you would like just the name or word, select none in the design stamp drop down menu.

Can you tell me about the Crystals?
They are flat back Swarovski Austrian Crystal which have individually cut and polished facets.  Each crystal is affixed by hand.











All of the following colors are available.






































If the crystals fall off, can I get them replaced?

Yes, Crystal replacement is free for the 1st year after purchase.  After that there is a $5 fee to replace missing crystals.  Simply email us to let us know that you would like to send your piece in and we will provide you with an address.  It is best to insure items in the mail so that they don't get lost.  We do not assume responsibility for items lost in transit to us.

What kind of chains come with the pendants?

The following 18” chain options are available.


























Top to Bottom:
Thick Copper Chain
Copper-plated Ball
Copper-plated Double Rollo
Silver-plated Double Rollo
Sterling Silver Gourmette
Sterling Silver Ball

Also available are keychains that are made of the same lead free pewter in either the antique silver or coppers finishes as the picture pendants.

How does my order come packaged?
Our items come gift ready in a natural color paper box with our logo embossed on the top and inside your item sitting in a nice bed of furry material. We will provide a small swatch of polish cloth (for metal disks) for you to use to keep your item polished and shiny.

How long does it take to receive my order?
Once payment confirmation and photos are received, your order will be processed. Jewelry will be completed and shipped in approximately 2 weeks.

What if I need by order sooner than 2 weeks?
Rush orders are available for an additional $25. Send me an email to let me know that you need them sooner and I'll see if I can accommodate.

Can I get my necklace wet?
The pieces are each hand made and although sturdy, also somewhat delicate. Therefore, I would not recommend submerging the pieces in water. However, they probably won't be ruined if splashed with water.

How do I care for my jewelry?
Each piece comes with a little polish cloth to polish your metal disk. Once that runs outs you can use a polish cloth or jewelry polish to keep the disk shiny. The picture pendant can be wiped clean with a cloth. As I said above, pieces can probably be splashed, but not repeatedly submerged in water. Additionally, I would not recommend extensive periods of sun exposure, i.e. sunbathing.

Coccinella Designs Product Questions
 
What do the pieces cost?
The pieces range in price from $25 and up depending on what you create.  Every piece is hand-made-to-order and created by you!
 
Children's Necklaces
Not all of our pieces are recommended for children.  We would recommend the smaller 1/2" disk and 1/2" pendant pieces on the special 14" cut chains.  However, all of the pieces come with the option for the 14" chain.  Necklaces should be worn at a parents discretion and should be worn under parental supervision; especially with younger children.
