I am an artist, a whole-hearted crafter since the early age, a constant learner of creating new or upcycle one of kind pieces. In my spare time, I love to work in the yard, creating in the art room and garage (in cooler weather only).  I live a full, happy life in beautiful NC with my significant other, Tom and our two dogs, Gretchen and Franklin. I am looking forward to one-day completely retiring and move to our new home in Eureka, Ca!

1OAKG meaning:

• An original, genuine, unique handmade item.
• You won’t find another exactly like it anywhere.

Loris1ofakindart is a one-woman shop that does it all!  Just because the items I make and sell are priced reasonably, doesn’t mean they are created with cheaply, because they are not.  All my items are carefully handmade, made to last and packaged with love.  I really love all kinds of art.

• When you buy something from an artist, you’re buying more than an object.
• You’re not buying just one thing, you are buying a piece of a heart and a soul and a small piece of their life.
• Take a chance, you will not regret your purchase.  Everything looks so much prettier in person.

Thank you so much for visiting my website and supporting this small business that doesn’t buy in bulk and still has reasonably priced items.  If you have any questions, please Contact me at the info link below.  Thanks again!

To ensure you enjoy your jewelry for as long as possible, I recommend…
• Avoid showering with your jewelry, unless you know it’s made of stainless steel
• Store in a pouch or jewelry box when not wearing so they don’t collect air pollutants that you don’t see
• For single beaded stretchy bracelets, roll it over your closed fingers and try not to overstretch it, it should last a lifetime

Silver Fashion Jewelry 101
All fashion jewelry is normally made the same way I make them no matter where you buy them. In my shop, I make them to really last.

Note: Pure silver will not tarnish, but it is too soft to use in jewelry making. All of the silver jewelry I have will tarnish over time. This will not harm the metal and can be easily cleaned with a polishing cloth.  Also, the stainless steel jewelry I have should not tarnish.

If I really like a silver piece of jewelry, I will buy it no matter what it is made of and just clean it when it needs it. I have both types in my shop and at home.

Although I hope you will love your Loris1ofakindart items, I understand that sometimes returns may happen.

I offer a 100% guarantee with your purchase – if you aren’t satisfied for any reason, I will be happy to provide a refund or an exchange. I will accept returns within 30 days of delivery for merchandise that is unworn and unused in its original condition.  All sale items are a final sale and cannot be returned.
