My shop, Outside The Box Jewelry is close to my heart...I create each and every item by hand here in my workshop in Alaska using only quality .925 sterling silver or Hill Tribe silver, gemstones and Swarovski crystals. No two items are ever identical; you are truly purchasing a one of a kind piece. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My shop is TEMPORARILY CLOSED due to an ongoing issue of identity theft. At this time I cannot receive PayPal payments (my preferred method of payment) but CAN as a buyer send PayPal payments (and I do buy a TON here on Etsy!). On October 22nd my family and I also welcomed to the world my fourth little boy so as things go...general craziness all around! I will reopen in January 2009. Thanks for your understanding. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My PROFILE & SHOP POLICIES tells you everything you need to know about me and my shop. Thanks for stopping in!
