Such a special brooch. I have ordered from Wendy several times and am always so pleased
Hermosa pulsera, el trabajo del artesano es exquisito. Envío perfecto, muy bien protegido y llegada puntual. Volveré a comprar en esta tienda.
Working with Wendy was a pleasure. I had purchased the wrong size of a bracelet for a gift. She returned it and sent a new size that fit my husband. She was very helpful! She is so very easy to work with, I Strongly recommend her when purchasing a product.
Exquisite jewelry pieces purchased, and excellent customer service and shipping.

I love finding special items in this shop. This sweet Calla Lily pin is absolutely perfect all around. I have a garden full of wild Calla Lilies. I picked this one out to wear for a special occasion - and after that? Well, everyday is a special occasion, right? Thank you!!
