FAQ

Frequently asked questions

*How do you source all of your animals and insects?
Everything is ethically sourced, mostly locally in my area. Natural deaths only, no animal or insect is ever harmed.

*Why do you use dead stuff specifically?
My personal vision is that everything has life after death. I love to find dead things and give them a new, beautiful life that they will be adored in whether it be as jewelry, a decor piece, etc. 

*How did you get into dead stuff?
At family's house on the west coast in 2018 I found an entire mule deer skeleton. I was SO inspired to create it into something beautiful, so I took it all the way home with me to Virginia. I then started sourcing my finds locally, eventually selling my art at tattoo conventions that same year. Ever since then I've been in love <3 It started as mostly home decor but then I started making jewelry which I find to be so much fun. I try to create a good balance of both.

*Where can I purchase in person?
At Vintage Trixie in Chesapeake VA or upcoming shows that will always be advertised on the IG!

*Will you vend at my event?
I'm always interested in booking vending events, contact me with the specifics and we can discuss it. 

*Do you do repairs if something breaks?
Yes, I offer a 100% free one time repair only on jewelry. Jewelry is fragile, especially with bones and such. I completely understand how anything could break easily and will fix it for you. If you aren't local, I do require you to pay the shipping costs. 

*Can you make something with my pet's remains?
Yes, contact me and we can discuss this.

*Do you ship outside of the US? I can! Currently my shop is very small scale so I just automatically do US only on my listings because I don't expect to get many international orders. If you would like to purchase something internationally just contact me and I can directly assist you with that.
