FAQ

Are your metals hypoallergenic?

All metals in the shop are lead and nickel free.  That said, sterling pieces are noted as such.

​

Can I customize clasps?

​

New for 2024, we allow customers to specify which clasp they'd prefer on their necklace and bracelet purchases for MOST items, with magnetic clasps available for a small upcharge. Sometimes, in the case of pendants, the items come on pre-assembled chain and we cannot customize those. Fancy strung necklaces sometimes come with pre-selected clasps for aesthetic purposes.  We'll specify in each listing.

​

Can I get sterling ear wires on my earrings?

Yes! Just add the "ear wire upgrade" item from the shop.  It's the last item available.  It's a $3 upcharge per pair.

​

Do you resize bracelets and/or necklaces?

The vast majority of our items, we are glad to resize.  We want all bodies to be adequately sparkly. We will specify in listing descriptions which items cannot be resized.  Standard sizing on bracelets is around 7.5",  Standard sizing on necklaces is between 18"-20", but again, we try to provide exact details in every listing. 

​

Would you make matching earrings for me?

​

The short answer: maybe.

​

The longer answer:  it depends on who crafted the original piece and their current work load and bead availability. Use the contact form and I'll get you an answer ASAP.

​

Do you take commissions in general?

​

Sometimes, depending on the work load of the crafter. Inquire through the contact form.

​

We notice you only allow ten items per week per customer. Why?

​

We are, as a queer-staffed shop, a niche jewelry shop in many ways. Over the years, we've built a clientele that appreciates this fact. Owning a piece of Peculiarity Shop jewelry has become something important to some of our customers, and we want to be sure we're producing enough goods FOR everyone who would like to support us. There are eight of us, but all of us have other jobs that restrict crafting time.
