Hooks & Toggles provides the best in quality handmade jewelry. Each piece is one-of-a-kind. Due to this, resizing is not available. However, I am willing to create commissioned pieces. Just use my Contact Form and choose "Commission/Requests".
All beaded jewelry in this site are handmade with real, natural genuine gemstones, unless otherwise stated. I strive to do my best to make sure that all stated natural gemstones are exactly that. All enhancements to the gemstones used in my pieces will be stated to the best of my knowledge. If you are ever in doubt of your purchase for any reason, you may return your item(s) within the first 15 days of purchase. (Please see my Return Policy for more details.)
My passion for gemstones and unique minerals that brought me to the wonderful world of designing and making beaded jewelry. Sometimes, an idea for a piece comes in the form of a picture in my mind, a dream or a challenge, and it ends up on paper. Other times, looking at beautiful strands of Ruby, Hessonite Garnet, Blue Tiger Eye, Red Tiger Eye, Citrine, Amethyst, Rose Quartz, Lemon Chrysoprase, Aquamarine or any other of the countless gemstones found in nature can spark the imagination, and an idea for a piece is born. Occasionally, handmade glass pendants or focal bead may be used in the pieces, but they will be of the highest quality and identified.
Silver is my metal of choice and is used throughout my pieces. I use both Sterling Silver, which is .925 silver, and Fine Silver, which is .999 Silver. I use Bali, Thai and Hill Tribe Silver (Karen Hill Tribe Silver) pendants and beads throughout her beaded jewelry pieces. Hill Tribe Silver uses .950 and higher silver in their handmade pieces. (All findings with the exception of bead covers and wire guards, where used, are sterling silver. Bead covers and wire guards are silver plated products.)
I sometimes use Vermeil beads and pendants. Vermeil is Sterling Silver or Fine Silver overlayed with 22kt or 24kt gold.
