~CC Glass Art~ SRA Handmade Lampwork Beads Set (9) Organic Oceanic ~LOW TIDE~

CCGlassArt Gallery of 2011 Beads

All beads are handmade by me, Christina Catherine, in my home-based lampworking studio here in sunny Southern California.

I work with many different brands of the highest quality glass including Italian Effetre/Moretti, CiM, Vetrofond, Double Helix, Reichenbach and more, on my duel fuel lampworking torch.

I love to incorporate special effects into the glass whenever I can, such as fine silver, 23k gold leaf, sparkling dichroic glass, goldstone, enamels, shimmering pixie dust, and reactive silver glass for added flair and interest.

Once formed and flame polished, each and every bead is immediately placed into a preheated kiln which is digitally controlled to precisely anneal the glass for maximum strength and longevity.

Upon removal from the mandrel, each bead hole is thoroughly cleaned by hand with a diamond coated tool to ensure no excess bead release is left behind providing you with a professional finish.

Every step that goes into making my beads is done with the utmost care and attention to detail using only the finest quality materials available. Each piece I create is as special and unique as the person who will wear and enjoy it for years to come!

Payments:  PayPal is the preferred payment method. Payment is due within 7 days of the auction's close.

*Please be advised that due to eBay's seller policy changes, with regards to charging new fees for shipping, I have had to make some changes to my own shipping cost structure as noted below...

US Shipping & Sales Tax:  Domestic shipping costs for this bead set is a flat rate of $3.00 for USPS First Class Mail (5-10 day delivery time). USPS Priority Mail (2-3 day delivery time) is also available for a flat rate of $5.50.

SPECIAL OFFER! Shipping is FREE when any two (2) or more CCGlassArt auctions are purchased together in the same transaction (all items will be sent together in one package via USPS First Class Mail - domestic shipments only).

You must pay for the items together, all at once in the same transaction, otherwise this promotion will not work. If you pay for your items separately (one auction at a time) the flat rate shipping fee will be charged to each transaction and your items will be sent individually since I cannot go back and refund shipping fees due to eBay's new policy.

You are more than welcome to wait until another auction ends to pay for a previously won auction, (within 7 days), so that you can take advantage of this special offer.

*Once your payment is received your package will ship out within 1 business day unless otherwise noted.

Sales tax is applied to any item shipped within the state of California at 8.75%. Those of you outside of CA enjoy no sales tax!

Canada:  Shipping cost via USPS International First Class (7-21 day delivery time) is automatically calculated by eBay.

Returns:  Every bead I make comes from the heart and is made with the utmost care and attention to detail. I do not 'mass produce' anything so it is extremely important to me that you are pleased with your beads. Therefore, if for any reason your not completely delighted with your purchase please return the item(s) within 14 days of receipt. You will receive a full refund of your purchase price less any shipping charges. Partial refunds are not offered. Before sending any item back, please contact me for complete return instructions.

Bead Pictures & Measurements:  Every attempt is made to photograph my beads so that the pictures used in my auctions represent their true likeness with many close-ups to show detail. However, due to different computer monitor settings, the colors may appear differently on your screen than what the bead truly looks like in person. I try to be as detailed as possible in my descriptions, but if you have any specific questions as to the colors used in any bead please do not hesitate to contact me.

Approximate measurements are provided for each bead's length and width to within 1/16 of an inch. Unless otherwise noted, beads are made on a 3/32" size mandrel, though the actual bead hole size is just slightly larger due to the bead release used between the mandrel and the glass itself.

Guarantee:  Each CCGlassArt bead is guaranteed against breakage. Although the proper annealing of my beads with a digitally controlled kiln for over 14 hours greatly increased their overall strength and durability, they are still made of glass and are therefore susceptible to possible breakage. If damage occurs to any bead you purchase from CCGlassArt, please contact me so I can assist you with repairing or replacement of your bead.

California Lead Law:  I comply with California's Lead-Containing Jewelry Law, which requires strict labeling of products that contain lead or other potentially hazardous substances regardless of how those products are classified for use in jewelry. There are many jewelry components that are categorized as being perfectly safe to use in retail adult* jewelry - even by California standards - but this law still requires that these components be marked with a lead classification.

*Please be advised that all CCGlassArt beads and/or jewelry components are not meant for use by children.
