Do you offer 14k solid gold beads?
Yes, we offer 14k solid gold beads but we only use them in our name necklaces. We offer 14k gold-filled beads for bracelets. The 14k gold-filled are stronger because the gold is laid over sterling silver.

Are my on-line transactions safe/secure?
Yes, we use PayPal to process our transactions. You may also call or email us with your order.

How long will it take to get my Mother Bracelet or Mother Necklace?
If you pay by Credit Card, online, it generally takes 1 business day to create your personalized mother bracelet or mothers necklace. She our shipping options. If you pay by Echeck it takes longer because Echecks can take up to 6 days to clear.

How do I know what size to order?

Mothers Bracelets: If you are unsure about the bracelet size to order measure your wrist and add 3/4" to 1" for bracelets. FYI - 85% of all bracelets are 7 1/2".
Mother's Necklaces: The 18" necklaces will not hang down very far. A 36" necklace would be a necklace you would wear similar to a charm necklace or a prayer box necklace over a big sweater.

How many names can I get on one Mother's Bracelet?
You can have up to five strings per Mother's Bracelet and up to four names per string. If your childrens names are only 3-4 letters long I can get 4 names on most bracelets but you will NOT have many other pretty beads on there. Technically, you could have 20 names on a 5 string bracelet (if the names are only 3 letters each). On Mother's Necklaces you could have up to 20 names!

Can I add another name later?
Yes, you may add additional names later (space permitting). You will need to send the bracelet back to me to add additional strings or additional names to existing strings.

How do I know that I am getting a quality product?
We use strong, flexible & kink resistant accu-flex beading wire. The wire we use actually has 49 strands (7 bundles of 7 wires) twisted together. We also use the highest quality sterling silver, gold-filled beads and other gems stones in our Mother's Bracelets, Mother's Necklaces, Survivor Bracelets, Ribbon Bracelets, Birthstone Bracelets etc...

Do you offer numbers? Could I have my baby's name and birth date on the bracelet?
Yes! You would just order a 2 string bracelet for one child, or a 4 string bracelet for 2 children. You could put both name and date on one string (space permitting) but you will pay $2.00 for every letter or number over 9 letters per string. I only carry numbers in sterling silver. I don't have numbers in my gold alphabet block letters.

Is there lead in the crystal beads? I thought lead was dangerous as the body can absorb it.
Yes, there is lead in true crystal beads. This lead is what gives the bead a lot of its sparkle. The lead is processed into the glass, making it crystal. My jewelry with Swarovski crystals in it is NOT intended for children under 13 years old.

I have an estimate you gave me last month. Is it still good? Written estimates are good for 60 days.

I have additional questions. How do I contact you?
You may call or email us with your questions or special orders! Email: info@designsbyleigha.com or Tel: 828.391.1258

Will there be sales tax added to my order?
Only if you live in North Carolina. The NC sales tax is 7.75%. That is only items shipped to North Carolina. All other states will not have sales tax applied.

Child Sized Bracelets: These bracelets are not intended for young children who put things in their mouths. I use professional grade beading wire which is 7 strands bundled together with 7 additional bundles for a total of 49 strands but sometimes they do break and a child could choke on a small bead. Please monitor all children who are wearing bracelets with beads. I do not use Swarovski crystals in bracelets for children under 13. My Swarovski crystal jewelry is NOT intended for children under 13 years old.
