HOW DOES IT WORK?

Then place your pendant in the tin provided and use the pre-addressed envelope to mail it back. Once I receive your wax I’ll add the loop, set any stones if you choose, then have it cast into the metal of your choice. Finally I will hand polish the pendant to your preference, add the the chain if requested and ship it back to you!!
