FAQs

What does One Seed mean? Do you use seeds in your jewelry?

My company is named after the one-seed juniper (Juniperus monosperma)! I wanted a name that reflected the natural surroundings of my home in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I do not use seeds in my jewelry, just metal and stone.

Do you accept custom orders?

I do - please use my custom inquiry form to tell me all about your dream piece!

How do I know my ring size?

There are many ways to size your fingers! The most reliable way is to visit a local jeweler and have them measure your finger. Another option is to order a zip-tie style ring sizer, which are usually available for $3-5 dollars. I do not recommend using the string method, as the material is very thin and much stretchier than metal.

Does your jewelry contain nickel? Will it discolor my skin?

I use only nickel-free metals in my work: sterling silver, fine silver, and occasionally brass or karat gold.

Some people react to brass and copper and notice a green tint to their skin. This is not harmful, just a quirk of chemistry! Most of my pieces that use brass have it in a place where it does not touch the skin, and thus cannot cause discoloration.

Do you ship internationally?

At this time I am only able to offer domestic shipping through my website. If you live outside of the United States and are interested in purchasing a piece, please contact me.

What if I break or lose a piece of jewelry?

I test my jewelry multiple times before releasing it into the world, and feel confident that it can withstand normal wear and tear. If something breaks within the first year of you owning a piece, please reach out to me and I will do my best to repair it, free of charge. After a year I am still happy to repair it for the cost of materials and labor.

If you lose one earring in a pair I will do my best to craft a replacement for half the original cost. Please note that because the stones I work with are one-of-a-kind this can be difficult, but I promise to do my best to create a match.
