Gift Certificates Now Available for Pretty Sensitive Ears!

A new exciting shopping option in our Pretty Sensitive Ears' Etsy shop is the recent arrival of Gift Certificates!  We have two listings now active for Gift Certificates (in the amounts of $25 and $50) that can be used in our shop online at www.prettysensitive.etsy.com.  We are happy to offer this for this holiday season for those of you who thoughtfully acknowledge your loved one's sensitive ears and want to give them a special gift of hypoallergenic jewelry, but are just not quite sure what style to choose, or prefer to give your recipient the chance to choose their favorite style. 

You can view the listings here and find all the details for how to purchase and redeem!  I have copied the information below as well.  If you are looking for a Gift Certificate in another amount, please message us from our etsy shop or email us at prettysensitive@gmail.com. 

Purchasing:
A pdf file of the Gift Certificate will be emailed to the buyer’s email address. Please be sure to include your email address in the “Notes to Seller” during checkout. You can then either print the pdf file to hand to your recipient, or forward the email (with the pdf file attached) to your recipient’s email address. (We prefer to send the email to the buyer since you will know to look for it. Your recipient may not know the email is coming and either they themselves or their email program may presume it is spam. Additionally, with forwarding, you can write your own personalized message in the body of your email.)

As long as the buyer’s email address has been included in “Notes to Seller” during the purchase of this Gift Certificate, we will send the pdf Gift Certificate file to that email address within one business day of receipt of payment.

(The pdf file will resemble the second photograph in this listing.)


Redeeming:
Visit Pretty Sensitive Ears Etsy shop at http://www.prettysensitive.etsy.com and add the item(s) you would like to purchase to your cart.

At checkout, please select “other” as the payment method. If the total of the order exceeds the value of the Gift Certificate’s balance, we will send you a PayPal invoice for the remaining amount. If the total of the order is lower than the value of the Gift Certificate, the remaining available balance will be kept in our records so it can be redeemed on future purchases.

Each Gift Certificate will be assigned a unique code. Please protect your code and be sure to enter this code during checkout in the “Notes to Seller”.

Please Be Sure to Note: This gift certificate is valid only in my Etsy shop (Pretty Sensitive Ears), and it is only redeemable here (http://www.prettysensitive.etsy.com).


Please visit the Pretty Sensitive Ears Etsy shop to see our broad selection of styles of hypoallergenic Surgical Steel earrings for sensitive ears and 100% hypoallergenic, nickel free Niobium earrings for sensitive ears. http://www.prettysensitive.etsy.com

Please Note: Our earrings are not intended for children age 12 and under.

Heads Up! New crystal faced Niobium Post Earrings on their way!

My husband and I sat down in our workshop last night after the kiddos were asleep and turned on the local holiday music station on the radio and worked hard on more nickel free hypoallergenic niobium post earrings for sensitive ears!  We created some round 3.9mm crystal niobium post earrings in a multitude of colors (emerald, siam red, indian pink, amethyst, white opal, etc...to name a few).  We also have some larger diameter crystal niobium post earrings too.

I also was able to finally experiment with making the niobium post earring with a loop for attaching a dangle.  So I have two versions of this to try out and see how they work out.  Another new possibility for nickel free earring style!

They are all nearly ready to be photographed and will then be available for a sneak peak on my Pretty Sensitive Ear's facebook page until I can get them listed for sale in my etsy shop.

I am so excited to be able to offer a wider range of colors and sizes on crystals.  Some bold, some girly, some unisex, some funky and fun - but all hypoallergenic, nickel free, and totally sparkling!

Short Video of Classic Pearls Niobium Post Earrings

We have recorded a short video showing the Classic Pearls - Niobium Post Earrings in both white and purple in natural daylight.  This way you can get a better feel for size, color, and how they look with light variation dynamically.

Take a peak! (it's less than one minute)



We've also included the link for this in the current etsy shop listings for these earrings, here and here.

Caught a Fever

I am doing a "Five Minute Friday" post inspired by TheGypsyMama.com.  Her word for today is "Catch."

I've definitely caught a fever - a fever for jewelry and creativity!  I am excited about my "job" that I have created for myself with this little hobby turned home business.  It began trying to find pretty jewelry for my sensitive ears and turned into the thought that maybe I could try making my own.  From there it spawned and spawned...  The more I learn, the more I want to learn and discover and explore the materials and processes.  I've got more ideas than I have time for!  And it's a marvelous feeling!  Some things I'm meaning to get to include: resin bead / cabachon making using silicon molds and dyes (for my hypoallergenic niobium post earrings and surgical steel post earrings), wire wrapping of gemstones I've put through my rock tumbler, experimenting with my dremel tool so I can get comfortable with using it, and working with the titanium wire I ordered in order to also offer it as another hypoallergenic option.  And there's more buzzing around in my head!  I try to write it down and pin it up on my inspiration board.  So, I've definitely caught a fever - and I think the only cure is to feed it!  ;)

Thank you for visiting!
