Dual Lifetime Guarantees

Dual Lifetime Guarantees
On All Be*Jeweled Handmade Jewelry

That's right -- not one but two Lifetime Guarantees!

Guarantee #1: Workmanship and Materials
Let's face it. Even with the best craftsmanship and the best of care, sometimes stones and glass and metal break. If that happens, we will repair your Be*Jeweled jewelry to the best of our ability -- that is, with the materials we have on hand or can reasonably get -- at no charge.


Guarantee #2: Taste and Style
We believe our jewelry is classic and will be in style forever, but should your taste change or you decide at some point in the future that the jewelry you bought from us no longer suits you for whatever reason, you can trade it in, applying the full original purchase price (not including sales tax, postage, etc.) to any jewelry in our current inventory.


Just a few Terms:

  • You must have taken reasonably good care of your jewelry.
  • You must include your original invoice/receipt (showing purchase price) or a clear photocopy when you send us your jewelry for repair or trade.
  • You pay insured postage both ways.
  • The Taste & Style Guarantee does not apply to earrings not purchased with matching necklaces. All our earrings are covered, however, by the Workmanship and Materials Guarantee.
  • Finally, for fairly obvious reasons, "lifetime" refers to our lifetimes (including the lifetime of our business), not yours.
  • We reserve the right to change these terms at any time, including such changes as limiting the number of trades, charging a service charge for repairs or a restocking fee, withdrawing the offers entirely, and so forth. We will, of course, post any changes here and notify you of them when you contact us for repair or trade. But for the foreseeable future we have no intention of making any changes to our Dual Lifetime Guarantees.


In most cases any jewelry traded in will be dismantled and the component parts used again in other designs (after thorough cleansing, of course). Although we might make certain of our most favorite designs available again if they're returned to us (again, after thorough cleansing).

You have to admit. Our unique Dual Lifetime Guarantees make any jewelry purchase from Be*Jeweled not only totally risk free, but anincredible lifetime value.

Be*Jeweled's Gallery offers a selection of our designs which we've created for customers or sold at various shows. Use it for inspiration for your own custom designs, if you like.


Pretty Posies
My signature flower beads -- these are transparent blue on ivory and periwinkle on black -- accompanied by a selection of coordinating blue/periwinkle beads, and wound with sterling wire connectors and clasp.









String of Jade -- Necklace and Earrings

There's an element of surprise to this set. One doesn't usually see the relatively heavier stones like Russian Jade (also known as Serpentine) combined with pearls. But they work beautifully together, don't they? The wave-cut focal piece is 40x20mm and the coins are 14mm. You'll turn heads with this set. The necklace is 26-1/4."

Sold at Monteluce Winery Fourth of July Celebration 2008


Jewel of the Nile
Rounds of gentle green aventurine alternate with nuggets of milky quartz. Lovely, graceful, feminine.












Pink Leopard -- Sold!
One of our favorite flavors of jasper (and we love 'em all) is Leopardskin Jasper, and this 25" necklace is a beautiful example for that stone. What we've seen lately in leopardskin has a pink hue to it, sometimes moving into rose or even light fuschia. We took it a step further and added palest pink freshwater pearls for a most unusual necklace with earrings to match.




Celebration! -- Sold!
One of our newer designs, this is a stunning, sophisticated and very, very rich set. The 23-1/2" necklace features a 58mm Picasso jasper pendant and luscious 10mm silver and cream freshwater pearls. Go ahead, flaunt your inner wealth. The earrings feature a pair of pearls on sterling.

Sold at Cedar Valley Arts Festival


Ming Bling --Sold!
The focal piece is a large chard of antique Chinese pottery purchased in the early 90s. These days we can only find chards about a quarter of the size of this one, which is 48x38mm. We added green aventurine twists, olive jade flat ovals and the sweet fillip of lemony yellow glass beads.


Baroque Elegance -- Sold!
One of our most beautiful creations, in very, very limited edition (this and one other). These gorgeous stones are puffed pillows of "white mustang" magnesite. We've paired them with desert jasper rounds, tan mother of pearl rounds, our own transparent topaz lampwork beads with goldtone bead caps in a stately 26" design.

Autumn Harvest Necklace and Earrings -- Sold!
Beautiful fall and anytime colors, suitable for any season. This cornucopia of gemstones starts with the red aventurine focal piece and continues with red aventurine rounds, green aventurine chunks, blackstone rounds, green Swarovski crystals for a dash of sparkle, and antique goldtone pewter flower beads for even more richness.


Heavenly Abundance Necklace --Sold!
More turquoise, this time on a 22-1/2" necklace chock full of an abudnance of other goodies -- cubes of calcite, poppy jasper, even a few lampwork beads. Oohh la la. A little bit of everything, and aren't you glad?

Sold at Sprayberry Arts & Crafts Show, November 2007


Arabesque -- Sold!
Cheerful, upbeat, whimsical bracelet for all seasons and all reasons. It consists of green aventurine, pineapple jasper, red aventurine and our own decorated handmade lampwork beads. 8" in length.

"Mambo Salsa" Custom Bracelet
Ooo La La! Talk about unique handcrafted jewelry! Our luscious Mambo Salsa beads were chosen by a very stylish woman recently for a bracelet. Smashing, isn't it? You might want to check our other bead sets for something you'd like made into jewelry. (Hint: There are two sister sets to these beads, in case you love this one as much as we do -- as well as other gorgeous sets, of course.)

One additional double bead set is still available.

Sold at Cotton Pickin' Fair, October 2007.

Adventurer #1 -- Sold!
And now for a complete change of pace. One of our most bold and assertive designs, this 20-1/2" necklace is definitely for the more adventuresome among us. A nice chunk of Russian Jade (aka: serpentine) anchors a riot of activity between kambaba jasper cylindrical points, and our own red/yellow/green lampwork cone-shaped and round beads, with gold metallicized glass cubes and black seed beads. Quite the statement.
