FAQ

  • I offer a variety of ways to purchase! The best way to stay up to date is to follow me on Instagram and subscribe to my newsletter.

    I typically schedule small batch releases where work will become available on a specific day/time and launched via my website. Again, keep an eye on my Instagram for current updates!

    You can also check my website for available made-to-order or pre-order pieces!

  • Typically, no. At this time in my creative journey I’ve decided to discontinue taking on custom orders as I have to consider what is best for my business, my time, and my creative workflow. I simply do not have the bandwidth for all of it, I hope you understand.

    However, if/when I do have bandwidth to take on some customs I will release a limited amount of slots. These will be posted on my Instagram when they are available!

  • Yes! There are international shipping options at checkout.

  • Ugh, I feel you and I know this can be really frustrating. It is such a bittersweet problem to have as it really breaks my heart that not everyone can get what they want. Here are some tips for snagging something:

    ○ Log onto the website a few minutes before the release and make sure you’re on the “shop” page.

    ○ Keep refreshing when the release time hits as sometimes it takes a minute for everything to load.

    ○ Have your payment info ready to go so you can quickly input your info (if it’s not already autosaved on your computer).

    ○ If you’ve got your eye on something specific, best to get that added to your cart and checkout right away! Then you can go back and keep browsing. Putting something in your cart DOES NOT reserve it, you have to fully complete the transaction.

    ○ And if you missed something this round, please know that I’m truly sorry and I hope you don’t give up.

  • No, I do not do any resizing or repair any jewelry that is not my own.

  • My work generally ranges from $150-$320

  • I am always flattered when I get asked this question because I too still feel like such a student to this craft. I have no technical training and am mostly a graduate of “YouTube University.” But I know that we all have to start somewhere and I love helping guide others in ways that have helped me. A few suggestions:

    ○ Do a google search on local metalsmithing classes in your surrounding area. You might be surprised what you find! More and more local classes/workshops are popping up within this community.

    ○ Andrew Berry’s @AtTheBench YouTube channel is my favorite! I learned so much here.

    ○ https://metalsmithsociety.com/ has tons of online resources.

    ○ Vancrafted Studio also has an Intro to Metalsmithing class that I took when I was first getting started.

  • A sure-fire way to reach me is through the “Contact” page on my website. Instagram DM’s get lost so easily and there is a good chance I won’t see it or respond to it.

  • At this time, no. I continue to be very intentional and selective with my time and partnership opportunities. However, I’m always open to exploring this space if you have an idea!

  • The metal I work with is sterling silver which is 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. Fine silver, which is 99.9% pure silver is too soft and malleable for a lot of jewelry making applications so it is alloyed with copper to make sterling silver.

    The stones I work with are typically a variety of natural American turquoise that are sourced from small-scale lapidary artists.

  • The short answer…maybe. This is dependent on what the piece is. For example, if you lost just one earring, I cannot guarantee that I would have a similar or matching stone anymore or that I would have the same materials used. And since everything is handmade, no two pieces are the same. Rings and other single item pieces would be easier to replace/remake. Rest assured I will do my best to work with you but replacing what is lost is not guaranteed.

    Replaced/remake items would still be full-price and you would be responsible for shipping.

  • While this is rare, if a piece arrives already damaged when opened, I will make it right! We will work together on a case-by-case basis depending on whether the piece needs to be sent back to me or I need to replace it altogether. You will need to cover shipping to get it back to me and I will cover cost to return it.

  • If you would like to return your Laska piece, you will have 10 days to do so as long as the item is in tact and in the condition in which it arrived. A refund will be issued (minus shipping cost) once the item is received and examined. The customer will be responsible for return shipping!

  • Yes! At checkout you can select “Afterpay” and do 4 interest-free payments.
