Happy Customer Feedback

The ArtFire karma/feedback system has been structured so that only registered shoppers can post karma/feedback at the conclusion of the transaction. Since my customers have chosen to shop on ArtFire without opening an account, they are unable to post karma/feedback.

In order to share my customer compliments, I have decided to post the feedback within my blog here and on the ArtFire Studio blog as well.

Here is the most recent Happy Customer Feedback I have received along with a photo of her bracelet.

"I love Gilannie jewelry! I have been buying from her for several years. Last month my son's dog jumped up on me and broke my favorite Gilannie bracelet. I was not able to find all the beads and findings as some fell thru the deck and disappeared in the gravel beneath. I sent the remainding beads, wire and findings to Gilannie and within in a week I had the bracelet back, I could not even tell which things were new as all the beads blended together in shades of blue just as before it broke." - L.A. --Matthews, NC, USA

I love repeat shoppers! And I am always very happy to repair any item that becomes damaged.

Diamond Sand Etsy Shop
From the Etsy Shop Announcement:
"I make a lot of jewellery with semi precious stones, Pearls, and crystals. My hope is that you will find something special that you can treasure for years to come."
Lisa is from England, so the word Jewelry is spelled Jewellery.
This is very lovely, very feminine jewelry~ like the Butterfly Ball Necklace or the Alhambra Nights Earrings and the very sweet Crystal Charm Bracelet. No matter how you spell jewelry/jewellery, you'll love viewing the beautiful items in this shop!
