Ordering, Warranty, Payment & Shipping Ordering: I don't do "e-business" because when I travel, I'm gone for 1-3 weeks, sometimes with no e-mail. In general, to place an order, you may call or e-mail. We talk about what you'd like, I tell you what I have in stock, or how long it will take to make what you need. Since I'm being my own web geek, I've discovered that e-mail links seem to enjoy breaking.  If I'm in town, and haven't returned a phone call or an e-mail within 3 days,  CALL ME! (888-599-6680) Warranty:  "If you manage to break it, short of deliberate destruction, I will replace it."  There are 2 caveats or restictions to the warranty. First, any metal bent back & forth over & over again will get metal fatigue & break. This counts as "deliberate destruction". Second, you have to send me the pieces.  The warranty is good for my lifetime, so once I croak, you're out of luck. Payment Options:  I am now in the 21st Century (or so they tell me). I'm really loving PayPal, and I can accept Visa, Mastercard, or Discover. When I receive payment confirmation, the piece goes out in the mail.  The old standby of a check via snail mail works too.  Shipping:  Normal shipping and handling via snail mail is $2.00 for up to 3 normal size pieces. If you're ordering more than 3 pieces, I'll weigh it and let you know the cost.  I've rarely had it exceed 3.00.  Nautilus shells are another story, they have to get a box, and total usually runs about $3.50. Overseas shipping hasn't been a problem so far. If you'd prefer another shipping option, let me know.  I'll figure out the cost, and if you still want to do it that way, I'm fine with it.
	Plain Chignons Plain Chignons are $40.00  and come with a variety of curliques on top.  Each one is individual.
	Plain Barrettes Plain barrettes come in 4 styles:  Hearts, Moons, SSS, and SOS.  All plain barrettes are $25 regardless of size.  Plain barrettes take the regular picks, If it's wide enough to require a heavy pick, it's no longer plain.
	Fancy Barrettes "Fancy Barrettes" are all individually made and vary considerably in style, size, and price.  They range from $35 - $140.00, with most styles falling in the $50 - $80 range.    All of the larger barrettes are wider, and have a higher dome.  They hold a lot more hair. Because of the higher dome, it is very difficult to guess what size they will be or how much hair they will hold.  Styles available have a diamond, square, quatrefoil, or moons as the centerpiece.  I really prefer to sell them in person.
	Fancy Chignons Fancy Top:            $50.00 - $110.00         Dichroic Glass:             $55.00             Agates:                        $55.00             Semi-Precious:             $50.00 - $90.00           Quicksilver Coin Tops:  $50.00 Carved:                       $75.00 and up  - I only do a few of these each year. Price depends on complexity, and availability varies.  1995 - 2008  I have done 33. Base for Custom:            $45.00 Rules for a Custom Chignon: Material must be customer provided Material must have a reasonably flat back, some curve is OK. Material should be solid and firm (no paper) Most metal or stone will work fine.  High Fire ceramics, carved resin pieces, and fired sculpey work too. The smaller the pin needs to be, the lighter the top piece has to be. Size - the piece should be no less that 3/4" square or 20mm round. It should be no larger than 2" square. Material MAY NOT BE PLATED.  The epoxy I use is stronger than the plating. I will not guarantee the non-bronze.
