This is a handmade, glazed porcelain bead statement necklace in speckled sienna. Each bead is hand cut and formed, fired, and assembled into the design you see above - no molds or patterns are used.
Each bead is formed out of porcelain, glazed in a glossy speckled sienna glaze, and fired in an electric kiln to about 2170 degrees Fahrenheit.
The longest (middle) bead on this necklace measures 2 7/8 inches by 1/4 inches. As displayed the collection of beads measures 2 7/8 inches tall by 1 7/8 inches wide.
The beads are displayed on an 18 inch long black silicone cord with a gunmetal plated brass cord ends and a gunmetal plated steel lobster clasp. The length of the cord is appropriate for the number and size of the beads, hanging higher and closer to the neck, but a longer (or shorter) cord is a possible option.
Model photo is for necklace size and scale demonstration, and items in the photo are not included in this listing.

Payment must be received before shipping. Nebraska residents will be charged 7.25% sales tax, calculated automatically upon checkout. Customers who opt to pick up their order from me directly may also pay in person.
Shipping from United States
Domestic orders (USA):
I ship items within 1-3 business days, though usually it will be closer to one day than three. Please check the listing and/or your invoice for shipping times. All shipping times are estimates.
Customers who are local to Lincoln may pick up their order - contact me for more information.
International orders:
International packages are shipped using International First Class Mail for items under 4 pounds or Priority International for heavier shipments. Please allow 4-6 weeks for the delivery of your international package.
You are responsible for all duty, customs, or any other charges imposed by your country above and beyond the USPS (United States Postal Service) postal charges that you already paid. These may be due when you pick up your package.
I will do my best to check on any restrictions of what can be shipped before I send out a package. If for some reason your purchase can not legally be sent to you, I will refund your money.
Charges for international mail can be hard to estimate. If I have over charged you for shipping, I will refund the difference.

Packaging:
All items are packed with the utmost care -- wrapped in bubble wrap, air bags, and double boxed when necessary. If you fear it may break in the mail, pay to have it insured. I DO NOT OFFER REFUNDS OR REPLACEMENTS FOR ITEMS THAT BREAK IN THE MAIL. PERIOD. So don't ask.
I use a combination of new and clean, reused packing materials.
I do not include any sort of receipt or invoice in my packages - one can be printed from your Etsy order.

But please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
Returns and exchange details
Please let me know if there are any problems with your order. I can't do anything about items lost in the mail if there is no tracking information, so do consider selecting Priority Mail delivery.

REFUNDS ON BROKEN WORK ARE ONLY AVAILABLE IF THE PACKAGE IS INSURED - I STRONGLY RECOMMEND SELECTING PRIORITY MAIL FOR THE INCLUDED INSURANCE. I MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO PACKAGE YOUR ITEMS SECURELY, BUT THINGS DO BREAK IN THE MAIL.

Gift wrapping:
HAHA NOPE. If you've ever seen one of my wrapped packages you'd probably pay me to ensure I don't wrap your purchase. I make things out of clay, not paper and ribbon.
