It may sound strange, but it is a question that is often asked. Simple answer: Yes. Everything you see here that looks like silver is silver. I almost exclusively use 925 sterling silver, and in some cases 999 fine silver.

Yes. In principle, I can make any of my pieces in gold as well. I am a big fan of silver, but it naturally has to suit individual preferences and types. And at this point, I would like to note that I do not process 333 gold under any circumstances, even upon request.

No. In the past, I have almost exclusively worked on commission. This has led to sometimes very long waiting times and put me under a lot of pressure. Over the years, my creativity and implementation of my own ideas have suffered greatly as a result.

Therefore, I have decided not to accept any more commissioned work and instead focus on my own designs. These can then be purchased through the shop when they are finished.

Basically, all of my pieces are unique. Furthermore, I refuse to make exact copies of pieces by other artists or craftsmen. I also no longer accept commissioned work and instead focus on my own designs. These can then be purchased through the shop when they are finished.

Unfortunately, I cannot do that. I want to be fair and give everyone the chance to buy a piece as soon as it is finished. I announce shop updates on my social media channels. Just follow me on Instagram at @elderartifacts.

In addition, I have had very bad experiences with customers reserving pieces and then not wanting to buy them in the end.

Of course. I only ship insured with tracking. I also send particularly valuable pieces by courier.

Unfortunately, I am currently unable to offer shipping to non-EU areas. This unfortunately also applies to the United Kingdom.

In principle, I sell against payment of the full purchase price in advance. However, I reserve the right to make exceptions in certain situations. Please contact me BEFORE the purchase if this is the case. In any case, the goods will only be shipped after the purchase price has been paid.

Since I no longer accept custom orders, the answer here is no.

I try to take very honest pictures of my pieces and make every effort to capture all perspectives as well as possible.

If you still need more pictures, please contact me. However, this does not mean that I reserve pieces for this reason.

Unfortunately, I cannot determine ring sizes from a distance. It is best to have this done by a local expert such as a jeweler or goldsmith. They have reasonable measuring options there. I can only advise against home remedies such as paper strips or wool threads, etc. based on experience, as this usually goes wrong.

 In various relevant online stores there are so-called "ringsizers" for little money. They are built like a cable tie with a scale and magnifying glass for reading the size and usually work quite reliably. 

 After making an appointment, you are also welcome to come by my workshop, then I will be happy to measure the ring size.
