House My Custom Design Materials
I’ve always loved “window shopping” at beautifully cut gems in white gold & platinum settings at jewelry stores in the malls. I look at them and make a wish list in my head. Then I keep walking, knowing that it’s just too expensive. Especially these days!
I started this business January 2009. Not exactly a great economic time to be purchasing expensive cut gems, gold or platinum. Yet, who wants cheap, fake looking “costume” jewelry. I certainly don’t and you shouldn’t have to either. I believe that my jewelry is the perfect middle ground, allowing you genuine gemstone jewelry without paying the high cost of cut gems.
For my custom designs, I use: Tibetan & Sterling Silver, Gemstones, Pearls, Seashells, Silk, Hemp & Leather.
I do not use: “Mystery Metal”, Man-made gems or plastic, or Shell Pearls. Shell Pearls are actually ground up pearl residue that has been re-formed into “pearl” shapes.
Business InformationHistory/background
I have been mostly home-bound since late 2007 with Degenerative Joint Disease in my Knees and Fibromyalgia (everywhere). I have an undergraduate degree in Business Administration and I have a graduate degree.
Payment policy
On ebay I only accept paypal, which allows you to use your debit or credit card or directly from your bank account.
At Craft Shows I only accept cash.
Shipping information
I generally ship the day following cleared paypal payment, regardless of business day or not. My post office is a major hub that operates 24/7, even if the lobby is not open. That speads up how fast my mail is sent out and received.

My Jewelry Inspirations
I am fascinated with China, Africa, Eqypt, Ireland, Germany, Russia, Brazil & Jamaica. Therefore, I like buying things from these regions & also make jewelry that reminds of them. For example, China is a natural source for Jade, Jasper, Coral, Pearls & Silk. And, Emeralds & Celtic knots make you think of Ireland. I am told most of my Custom Designs have a very Bohemian look to them. Sometimes I have very specific inspirations (such as Cats, Dogs, Religion, etc) and I am trying to get pages on my website explaining my inspirations. So check out www.HarrisFamilyFarms.com
In addition to buying materials to make my own custom jewelry, I sometimes import a few wholesale items. Occassionally I come across wholesale pearl jewelry that is just too pretty for me not to share. This pearl jewelry will always be sold in the area of my store called “My Pearl Shop”. That way it is easier to know that I didn’t make it myself. I only fell in love with it & hope you do to.
