*I send all in-stock items out the next business day with just a few exceptions (see shipping page for postal holidays and exceptions ). Items must be paid with credit card (E-check can take up to 10 days to process). During holidays lead time increases. Each piece is individually and custom made by Designs by Leigha(TM) and may not contain the exact beads or clasp shown in the photograph, but probably will :) Most of my bracelet designs may have up to 9 alphabet block letters per string. There are some exceptions to that rule... Additional letters per string; .925 sterling silver $3.00/ea & 14k gold-plated $4.00/ea. Because of the fluctuating silver and gold markets prices are subject to change without notice. Our Swarovski crystal designs are not intended for the creation of children's jewelry nor intended for use by children under the age of thirteen. **Free Shipping is for all orders placed online, going to an US address and over $20.
