You can choose any gemstone to go with this necklace design: genuine opal black or white - a stone of your choice.
Moissanite in a]variety of colors or emerald, morganite, tanzanite, aquamarine etc.,
I don’t have listings for other gems, so this is my first addition to the opal and moissanite, which are the two major stones I specialize in.
The number of other colored gemstones is extremely limited, so I only have one or two stones of each gemstone in beads shape or a faceted stone.

🟣IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT MY SHOP’S POLICIES, SHIPPING AND PROCESSING, POSSIBLE DELAYS, URGENT ORDERS AND RETURNS:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
_______________________________________________
🔷 ORDER PROCESSING AND SHIPPING:
▪️I set the MAXIMUM processing time of 3-4 weeks but it is not always required for every order and the time always varies depending on the number of orders I have to work on, possible delays occurring due to my chronic illness which limits my ability to work, so I am able to work only part time. Sometimes I need to order materials or jewelry settings or I am working on a solid gold item, which requires extra time to make. I work alone, so please be understanding and patient: rushing a handmade item is NOT a good idea, because you might compromise the quality of your item.
▪️I DO NOT REPLY EVERY 24 HOURS!
🔹It says that under my profile, but I did not write that myself🔹
▪️Please try to keep in mind that I might not be able to respond to you because I am feeling sick at the moment, and unable to do any work because of that.
Please allow me some time to respond to you - sometimes a week or two is how long it takes me to get to replying to people. You might want to bump your message after 1 week in case it got pushed down by many messages received later, and I simply did not see it.
The time can vary from 5 minutes to 5 days or sometimes longer - my situation creates an unpredictable work schedule, and I apologize in advance for any inconvenience caused by late response or whenever communication gets interrupted.
▪️PLEASE ALWAYS LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC DATE FOR YOUR ORDER TO BE DELIVERED BY.
In the absence of any CONFIRMED delivery instructions that I am aware of, any package shipped before the end of the week 4 of the general processing time is technically considered to be shipped “on time”.
▪️I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHIP ALL ORDERS AS SOON AS I CAN, BUT IT IS BUYER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE ANY DEADLINES WHEN THEY NEED THEIR ORDER.
Also, please provide this information when placing your order, because if you ask to rush an order later - it might not be possible for various reasons. Make sure you hear back from me with a confirmation that I will be able to ship by the required deadline.
▪️Your package will ship in a luxury velvet gift box containing the item with a signature tag, a general “jewelry care tips” note, which has to be followed, a highly effective specialized microfiber polishing cloth to maintain your jewelry clean and bright without having to use liquid chemical cleaners, which cannot be used with a natural opal.

__________________________________________________________
▪️ I ship my orders with FREE USPS First Class Mail as a FREE SHIPPING option or I might upgrade orders to USPS PRIORITY MAIL;
Decision to upgrade the shipping method is entirely up to my sole discretion and cannot be expected or relied upon for every order.
▪️You can always upgrade shipping to Priority mail or Express mail yourself if you need your item to be delivered sooner. Remember, that it will only affect the DELIVERY TIME (3-10 days for First class; 1-3 days for Priority) and not the PROCESSING TIME, which will remain 3-4 weeks (unless agreed upon otherwise through personal messaging).
▪️Upgrading the shipping method might improve the safety of your package, so there are other considerations besides just the shipping speed why you might want to pay extra for faster shipping.
You can upgrade shipping by purchasing this listing:

______________________________________________________________________
🔷DELAYS CAUSED BY USPS, INACCURACIES WITH TRACKING INFORMATION AND ESTIMATED DELIVERY DATE:
▪️SHIPPING DELAYS WITH USPS HAVE BECOME “NORMAL”:
- due to COVID 19 and the length of delay is unpredictable ranging anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks for First Class Mail and up to 1 week for Priority Mail.
- due to ALL major holidays;
- due to the internal USPS issues with lack of funding and not enough staff
▪️ It has come to my attention that the TRACKING INFORMATION gets updated with a DELAY OF MINIMUM 2 DAYS TO 1 WEEK before it synchronizes with Etsy, and during this time packages appear to be in “Pre-Shipment” stage showing that I never took them to the post office at all, despite me watching those specific packages get accepted by scanning the barcode right in front of me a couple of days before.....
This problem has been happening for more than a year by now, and it caused me tremendous amount of negative feedback and complaints from customers during holidays, because they were assuming that I didn’t ship their orders according to the available tracking information....
Please allow a few days at least for the tracking information to sync. contact me _—with any concerns: this is something I do not understand the reasons for, so I absolutely understand why a customer might have questions or recommendations if they know what is the cause for this problem and how to eliminate it....
▪️Also, the ESTIMATED DELIVERY DATE provided by Etsy in the same email notification that contains the tracking information for your order, is HIGHLY INACCURATE.
This date is generated by the system in response to printing a shipping label without any thought given to the specific time of the year, post office capacity during holidays or other factors such as a pandemic response measures that vary by a specific location or emergencies caused by weather etc., During regular time of year I often print out shipping labels in advance, and then proceed to shipping the orders over the next several weeks
Of course, I will do my best to fulfill orders sooner depending on my physical ability to do so.
▪️The “Estimated Delivery” only misleads customers, who expect their packages to be delivered on that particular date, which is absolutely unrealistic, but leads them presume that I fail to ship orders “on time.”
🔺PLEASE DISREGARD THE “ESTIMATED DELIVERY DATE”, WHICH IS PROVIDED IN THE SAME EMAIL THAT CONTAINS THE TRACKING INFORMATION.🔺
▪️Remember that if you need to arrange a specific date to deliver your order please do it by confirming this date with me via an Etsy message or a private email.

🔸 ETHICS BEHIND MY SHOP’S RETURN POLICY:
📌 https://www.kissedbyfirejewelry.com/post/912498273679/return-policy-viewed-from-the-ethical
_____________________________________________________________
🔹OPAL PHOTOGRAPHY NUANCES - PLEASE READ!
▪️Opal is very unique and colorful gemstone like no other. EVERY OPAL IS CHANGING COLORS CONTINUOUSLY IN RESPONSE TO THE LIGHT ANGLE OR INTENSITY.
This makes photographing them extremely difficult, so YOU MUST READ THIS to learn some typical properties of this gem and KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR OPAL JEWELRY AND HOW TO BEST CARE FOR IT.
▪️As much as they are beautiful natural opals are extremely difficult to represent objectively on photos and sometimes on video as well. This can result in a potential dissatisfaction on behalf of a customer because they might have different expectations from their purchase, because opals are such tricky chameleons.
▪️Please keep this in mind when you are looking through the available items, because the item you will receive WILL definitely look different from the listing photos, which is ABSOLUTELY NORMAL. Even if the two opals have the same quality and brightness - they still will offer their own unique way of interacting with the light, which is what defines the Opal and gives it its "personality".
Most listings contain photos of a few very similar opals unless indicated otherwise. You will receive an opal that looks very very close to the ones pictured in the listing photos.
▪️Black opals are PREDOMINATELY DARK gemstones and won’t appear as bright as the listing photos due to their dark overall base tone, which makes the play of color appear and “come to life” ONLY during movement as the stone interacts with different light sources in various settings and at different angles.
This interaction produces a specific “picture” that is being seen on a still image, but it will continue to change as the light around the opal changes, so it is IMPOSSIBLE to show what a fire opal actually looks like, because it is a CONTINUING PROCESS and not any particular set of colors on a background. This process is responding to the INTENSITY OF LIGHT, and photos are ALWAYS TAKEN UNDER DIRECT LIGHT SOURCE. This particular aspect of opal photography causes A LOT OF CONFUSION AND DISAPPOINTMENT coming from those who are UNPREPARED TO VIEW THE SAME OPAL WITHOUT THE DIRECT LIGHT SOURCE. When seen under different light or at a different angle - the opal WILL LOOK ABSOLUTELY DIFFERENT FROM ITS OWN PHOTO, so please read as much information about this issue as you can find to avoid being disappointed with your purchase.
▪️Black opal will look much brighter under strong light and much duller under natural light. Opal is always changing and never shows the same colors with the same level of brightness - it is always in motion and looks entirely different every second.
Red colored fire will not turn a black opal into a garnet - it is a BLACK opal, so please be prepared that the beauty of this gemstone is going to be SUBTLE but quite fascinating in its own very unique way.

❤️Each item I create is always made with care, attention and love. This started as a passion, continued later as a hope and only evolved into a business later after getting some positive feedback and support from people.
I try to approach my work with a lot of genuine care and perfectionism, which goes into every aspect of my work.
❤️I really appreciate the opportunity to bring something joyful and beautiful into other people's lives: it is exhilarating to know, that something I made would mean so much for another person who would wear that piece of jewelry as a symbol of a life changing event or as precious memory that they will carry with them through years.
This is an amazing experience for me as well - another beautiful example of the interconnectedness of all things in the Universe.
🟣THIS STORE IS THE RESULT OF A PERSONAL TRAGEDY BECOMING A BLESSING AND THE ONLY FINANCIAL LIFELINE FOR MY FAMILY AFTER I GOT SERIOUSLY AND CHRONICALLY ILL AND HAD TO LEAVE MY PREVIOUS WELL PAID AND HAPPY JOB IN HEALTH CARE WHICH USED TO BE A HUGE PART OF MY LIFE.
I WAS SCARED, ALONE, SICK AND WITH NO MONEY LEFT TO PAY THE RENT OR ANY USEFUL BUSINESS EXPERIENCE WHEN I FIRST OPENED THIS SHOP TO FINALLY GIVE MY CREATIVITY A REAL SHOT.
I HAVE NEVER BELIEVED THAT MY GENUINE PASSION FOR DESIGN AND GOD GIVEN CREATIVE ABILITIES WOULD EVER EARN ME A DOLLAR IN THE ART INDUSTRY, SO I GAVE IT UP AS A SILLY DREAM WITH JUST A LITTLE PRESSURE FROM MY MORE PRACTICALLY MINDED PARENTS, WHO MADE ME CHOOSE AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT CAREER WHEN I WAS YOUNGER.
IRONICALLY, IT WAS ONLY AFTER LOSING EVERYTHING I HAD, AND ONLY THANKS TO OPENING THIS VERY SHOP, THAT I HAVE FOUND A LOT OF TREMENDOUS SUPPORT THAT MADE ME BELIEVE IN MYSELF AGAIN, AND OPENED UP A NEW UNEXPECTED PATH IN LIFE, WHICH I AM INFINITELY GRATEFUL FOR💜
♥️🙏🏻♥️THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR GIVING ME A CHANCE♥️🙏🏻♥️

I'll do my best to meet these shipping estimates, but can't guarantee them. Actual delivery time will depend on the shipping method you choose.
Buyers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply. I'm not responsible for delays due to customs.
Just contact me within: 3 days of delivery
Ship items back to me within: 7 days of delivery
But please contact me if you have any problems with your order.
Because of the nature of these items, unless they arrive damaged or defective, I can't accept returns for:
Buyers are responsible for return shipping costs. If the item is not returned in its original condition, the buyer is responsible for any loss in value.
- If you are dissatisfied with your item due to my negligence, forgetfulness, oversight or confusion I GUARANTEE YOUR MONEY BACK IN CASE I MADE A MISTAKE WITH YOUR ORDER. Just let me know what happened, make sure the item is UNWORN, in its original condition, WITH A SIGNATURE TAG STILL ATTACHED and provide photos or description of the problem, and I WILL REIMBURSE YOU OR WILL PROVIDE A FREE EXCHANGE or REPAIR.
For gold jewelry I can only provide a sufficient repair to correct the issue. Gold jewelry is not refundable unless the item is significantly damaged and it is my direct fault.
Earrings and custom orders are non refundable. Earrings fall under the category of personal items and can't be returned for hygienic reasons.
I set the MAXIMUM processing time of 3-4 weeks but the exact time required to fulfill an order varies greatly depending on a combination of multiple factors both objective and personal.
▪️Processing time is different from the delivery time, which is specified for every shipping method. Upgrading your shipping method to Express does not change the processing time, so if you need your order ASAP, you will have to contact me with a request to expedite your order and make sure that I have received your request and confirmed that I will be able to make your order by the required deadline
▪️I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHIP ALL ORDERS AS SOON AS I CAN, BUT IT IS BUYER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO TIMELY PROVIDE THE NECESSARY INFORMATION REGARDING ANY DEADLINES
Opal jewelry is EXTREMELY FRAGILE and cannot come in touch with any liquid including water.
Please make sure you DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR OPAL JEWELRY TO WATER!
- Do not wash hands, take shower, do strenuous activity, run errands, clean the house or exercise with opals still on.
- Take off before bed and clean and buff the metal parts regularly to avoid using chemical cleaners.
- Micro paved Jewelry cannot be placed into an ultrasonic Jewelry cleaner due to the shaking, which might cause the tiny stones to fall out.
-Jewelry damaged due to not following the care instructions IS A FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER AND CANNOT BE RETURNED, EXCHANGED OR REIMBURSED.
-“care tips” card is provided with your order.
- YOUR JEWELRY WILL AND SHOULD LOOK DIFFERENT FROM THE LISTING PHOTOS EVEN IF THE PHOTOS ARE TAKEN OF THE ACTUAL OPAL
- The truth about this gemstone is that its uniqueness, its ever changing play of color, its brilliance, color intensity or fire pattern cannot be captured on a still image. A natural fire opal can look green on one photograph and red on the other with every subtle change in light angle or its intensity.
- There is a SIGNIFICANT amount of attenuation present when you look at an opal under natural daylight compared to its artificially exaggerated brilliance seen under the artificial indoor light;
- it is NORMAL for opals to change their appearance, so please keep this in mind that even the same opal NEVER LOOKS THE SAME!
I use only high quality precious metals and natural gemstones in creating my jewelry. The quality standard for this shop is set to be especially high.
I use my best quality stones for creating items offered at this shop, so each and every item is not only made to order but is typically made with perfect or nearly perfect gemstones, with excellent time consuming level of craftsmanship seen in each unique design.
▪️I do not use stock photos for a reason: I design everything myself, and take my own photos of the items upon completion of the item so you can be sure that the jewelry sold through this store is going to look exactly as pictured with the exception of gemstones, which are all unique and will never look the same.
