Announcement
Welcome to my handmade lampwork glass bead store.
Lampwork glass spacer beads, fine silver wraps and droplets, floral designs, wavy disks, European Charms, frit beads, and more in a huge variety of colors and sizes. Every bead I make is annealed in a digitally controlled kiln for strength and durability.
My name is Serena and I have been making lampwork glass beads since 2001. All of the handmade lampwork beads sold in this Etsy shop are made by me one at a time in my cozy little studio in south-central Missouri.
I guarantee every bead I sell.
}}} COLOR CHART {{{
I am the creator of the original lampwork glass color chart. You can find it on my website, http://www.serenasbeadery.com/color-gallery.html. It is extremely helpful to use when trying to match up colors or just find your favorite.
Thanks for your interest and feel free to email if you have any questions, concerns, or custom ideas!

}}} SHIPPING TIME {{{
I am currently shipping time delay for made-to-order items is 2-3 weeks from payment. Please plan accordingly for your bead orders. If you want to know what date your order will ship, you can find it on your receipt. You will need to log into your account on any browser (not the app) and look in the top right of your invoice. You can expect your order to ship no later than this date.
If you need something sooner than the date shown, just let me know if you are in a rush. I realize you may have placed your order not knowing there would be a delay. I will do what I can to get your beads to you as quickly as possible, but unless prior arrangements are made, I cannot guarantee shipment before the date on your invoice.
I frequently travel to do volunteer construction work. This work pulls me away from my studio for periods of 2-3 days or 2-3 weeks. I will set my shipping times accordingly.
What does this mean for you?
1) One time you order, you might receive your order almost right away when you were expecting to wait 2-3 weeks for it to ship. Whereas next time it will take the full allotted time for me to make your beads and ship your order.
2) If you are in a hurry or have deadlines to meet, it is best to ask before placing your order. Since I may be away from my studio for extended periods, it might be impossible for me to rush your order.
}}} RETURNS {{{
I do want you to be happy with your purchase. Returns and exchanges are possible, but please get in touch with me before returning anything. Custom orders are only eligible for a partial refund due to the time invested in creating the specific order.
