Lockets or Pendants The Client Provides $200
There are many antique lockets and brooches that are beautiful and client's will send me jewelry they have purchased just so they can add the hair art inside.
Hair art can be placed inside a pendant that the client sends me. I place the hair art on mother-of -pearl for the backing and many very unique pieces have been made using antique or custom created jewelry pieces.

To Order
Please e-mail me with any questions about ordering and hair amounts.
I am happy to answer any and all questions you might have.
Hair Amount Needed
All pieces are custom made using the hair the client provides to me.
A lock of hair such as is saved from a first haircut is usually sufficient to
create most designs.
The sepia technique uses any length hair even extremely tiny pieces.
I ALWAYS return any hair not used in the construction of the piece.
Will My Hair Work In The Design I Have in Mind
Some hair may not be suitable for some designs. Very curly hair is
difficult to use to create the Prince of Wales design for example. Or the
basket weave design also, as the hair needs to lay quite straight to create
these two designs. If the hair is too short or too curly, or not enough of it
for the first choice of design, it can be made into another design of your
choice. If you send me a picture I can tell you before ordering if you have
enough hair or if it will work in the design you would like best.
Ordering Procedure
My ordering procedure has been to ask for 1/2 of the total cost as a down
payment at the time the hair is sent. Upon receiving final approval I
complete the piece and get it ready for shipping. After receiving the other
half of the payment cost I send the completed piece using Priority Mail so
it can be insured and tracked. This procedure has worked flawlessly for
approximately twenty years.
Payments Accepted
I accept payment using PayPal.
If you prefer I will also accept payment by check or money order.
How Long Does It Take To Complete an Order
In general it takes about ten days from the time I receive the hair to
create and finish a piece. There are exceptions, but that is an average.
I will let you know the time frame at the time you order if it is different.
Once the design is chosen and the style of locket is picked out, you should e-mail me for a firm quote. The designs shown are samples of what can be created. You are only limited by your imagination.
I do my best to create any design that might have meaning to the family or client. The Bremen Town Musicians has special significance as did the squirrel, the castle design and many many others. If you contact me I will let you know if the design you desire is possible with the amount of hair available.
All designs are chosen by the client and created to their specifications. Any hair not used in the creation of the art work will be returned to the client
