Because many of our designs are mini replicas of mountain ranges, we are big fans of mixed metal jewelry. We love to mix cooler metals such as sterling silver or white gold with warm, golden alloys such as 14K gold or rose gold. But we also create with your vision in mind and if you choose one metal, we can assure you we will still make it look damn good!
A few things to keep in mind when choosing metal are cost, lifestyle, and design.
ALL of these things are discussed in our design consultation, but I mention them here to get your gears turning. Enjoy learning about the precious metals we work with
]]>Our bolo ties are handcrafted, high quality, and are some of the best in the market! They are made using precious metals (mostly sterling silver) and semiprecious gemstones such as turquoise, variscite, jasper and more! Most of our bolo ties are unisex meaning they're made for ALL people men, women and nonbinary folks.
]]>We are committed to creating meaningful, wearable works of art that are ethically created to last this lifetime and the next. All of Frontera's pieces come with a lifetime warranty, see details below.
RINGS: If you are purchasing a made-to-order ring, I HIGHLY recommend that you get your finger sized from a professional jeweler. If you are unable to get sized professionally, I can ship you a FREE RING SIZER!
...It is much easier to expand a ring rather than shrink it. So if in doubt, choose to go slightly smaller than larger.
Necklaces & Cuffs: All sizes/lengths will be listed in the product listing. If you would like a necklace to be longer or shorter, I am happy to make adjustments for you.
I try my absolute best to make durable, long lasting jewelry that can withstand every day wear. However, sometimes jewelry does break. Knowing how important my pieces are to you, I will likely be able to repair the piece for you for a fee. There are situations however that require the piece to be completely remade. Contact me with any repair questions that you may have!
Ready to ship pieces will be shipped out no later than 3 days after purchased.
Processing times for custom orders and/or made-to-order pieces can be seen on the announcement bar on our home screen. Because each piece is made by hand, these orders will typically be made 1-6 weeks depending on the time of year.
Shipping costs depend on weight, location, and mail class. You can choose which mail class you would like to go with.
First Class Mail typically takes 3-5 days from time of shipping and includes no shipping insurance.
Priority Mail typically takes 1-3 days from time of shipping and includes insurance. I recommend this option if you are buying a higher-price item.
All pieces are created by hand using .925 sterling silver and occasionally 14carat gold, bronze, brass or copper. Most of the pieces I create feature one-of-a-kind stones that were hand cut by a beautiful human. Therefore to make exact replicas of most designs is near impossible.
Stones and metal will likely wear with time in the elements. They will oxidize, meaning the metal may darken and the stones (especially turquoise and variscite) may become more green over time. The metal can be cleaned using polishing cloths, but it is difficult to predict or "fix" how the stones react to the elements once they are extracted from the earth.
