Shipping & Returns

Every piece from my studio is lovingly handcrafted upon order. While I typically send your treasures on their way within a week, seasonal demand can sometimes adjust this rhythm. Please peek at the banner atop the screen for any real-time shipping updates or special deadlines.

Understanding the bespoke essence of each creation, returns are a tad tricky. But, fret not: exchanges can be discussed, always valuing your satisfaction. Your journey with my art matters deeply to me.

Care Instructions

Sterling Silver: This luminous metal can naturally tarnish over time, especially when exposed to moisture or cosmetics. Gently polish with a soft cloth to restore its shimmer. Avoid prolonged contact with water and always let your skin dry after sweating before adorning.

14k or 18k Gold: A timeless classic that holds its brilliance. Keep it away from harsh chemicals like chlorine. Gently clean using warm water, a soft brush, and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a soft cloth.

14k Gold Filled: Almost as steadfast as solid gold, but it loves a little care. Cleanse with warm water and a pinch of mild soap, rinse and dry thoroughly. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch its surface.

Brass: This golden-hued beauty can develop a patina over time, adding character. To shine it up, use a gentle brass cleaner and softly polish. Remember, water is its frenemy—so always dry it promptly after cleaning.

May each piece continue to tell its story, brilliantly, alongside you. 🌿

Testimonials

Gathered from customers on Etsy where I have over 19,000 sales and thousands of 5 star reviews. Here are just a handful!

★★★★★ "It is beautiful and perfect." -RaNae on October 13, 2023

★★★★★ "I get compliments daily on how beautiful the necklace (Minnesota) is." -Megan on October 9, 2023

★★★★★ "I'm obsessed!! It is so cute and dainty and PERFECT! And Julie was more than willing to accommodate my request for a gold band to match the gold state. Also, I am currently pregnant and approaching the end of my first trimester. I ordered a half size bigger to accommodate for any swelling my body does over the next several months. Once I'm not pregnant and swollen, I'll be resizing it to my normal size." -Amanda Quinn on October 5th, 2023

★★★★★ "I bought this item many years ago & bought it again for my sister's birthday, when I tell you she helped me soooo much throughout it all, she was AMAZING! Quality items, fast shipping, & most amazing customer service. Definitely recommend!" -Valeska Mena on August 28, 2023

★★★★★ "I wasn’t sure what size ring I needed. I have large fingers and have trouble with rings that fit comfortably. I feel in love with this ring and had to have one. I reached out and Julie responded quickly to my concerns. She offered to send me a ring sizer to make sure the ring would fit. She mailed one to me, I measured my finger and sent her the measurement and she made me the most beautiful ring. It’s even better in person that I had imagined it to be. I absolutely love it. 10/10 recommend Julie and her beautiful craftsmanship. Excellent customer service. Quick shipping. Beautiful work. I’ll be adding more of her pieces to my jewelry collection for sure." - A Cee on June 23, 2023

Meet Julie Godsey: The Artist Behind the Jewelry

Hello there, fellow jewelry lover! 

I'm Julie, the heart, hands, and soul behind every shimmer and detail you see here. From designing to crafting, packaging to answering your sweet notes, it's a one-woman show and I absolutely cherish it.

My Studio Sanctuary: Nestled in the vibrant hills of Austin, TX, my home studio is where all the magic unfolds. Sharing this space are my husband, Matt (a beloved 5th grade teacher), and our trio of fur babies who've mastered the art of being royally pampered.

My Journey with Jewels: It's been a whirlwind romance since 2009, starting with clay and wire experiments. By 2011 my custom wire state necklaces really took off, starting the trend that's still going strong. While there are so many cheap mass produced options out there, my pieces are still made by hand, one little bend at a time. I think this makes it super special for each customer to have their own little piece of original jewelry made by my two hands. Fast forward to 2019, and metalsmithing swept me off my feet. By 2023, I dove deep into the world of wax carving and lost wax casting - every moment a delightful discovery. And trust me, the journey's just begun!

Muses & Motivations: From the rhythm of nature to the mystique of all things ancient and vintage, my inspirations are as varied as they are vivid. Plants, especially, tug at my heartstrings. On the sidelines, you'll often find me sipping an iced espresso, honing my metalsmithing skills, lifting weights, indulging in podcasts, or enjoying a cozy TV binge-session with Matt. Ah, the perks of summertime with a teacher!

Etsy & Me: I opened my Etsy shop in 2009, and it's been a journey marked with over 19,000 sales. A peek into my Etsy shop reveals not just my evolving artistry but also thousands of heartwarming reviews from beautiful souls like you.
