Unlike many jewelry websites, you may not necessarily see the piece
that you purchase from Carol H Designs. Instead, you play an active
role in designing it.
The website itself will guide you through the process of choosing a style, then color(s), length [when applicable] and add-on options [if desired].
Just remember that the color in the picture is not the color that you are ordering. The picture just represents the style you've chosen.
Please contact Carol if you have any questions or need some help.
Have fun!
Here's how the website works:
COLOR
1.
When you find a style that you like, decide if you want your piece to
be one color or several colors. Then click on the link under the picture of
that earring style, regardless of the color in the picture.
2. You are now on the ORDER FORM page for that piece. The ORDER
FORM will ask you to choose color(s). COLOR CHARTS are at the
bottom of the page for easy reference.
This process is straightforward if you are using one color.
3. On a multi-colored piece, you have some other choices to make on the
ORDER FORM page.
a. You may choose your own colors, which are listed in drop-down
menus and viewable at the bottom of the page. OR
b. You may choose one of Carol's Color Combinations, which are also
listed in a drop-down menu and are viewable by clicking here or by clicking on the ORDER FORM.
4. There are two situations in which I may intervene in your color
choice.
a. If you are designing a two-colored earring or pendant necklace,
you will select the color of the main bead. For the second bead,
if you have not selected a preference, you can opt for me to make an
appropriate choice from Carol's Color Combinations.
b. If you are designing a multi-colored piece and choosing your own
colors, I may email you to point out a potential design modification.
LENGTH All bracelets and necklaces are offered in a choice of sizes, which are listed in the appropriate drop-down menus on the ORDER FORM. If you want a different length, please specify in the Comments Area; I will get back to you if there is a problem or question.
All bracelets and necklaces are made with a standard chain extender, which will allow you to adjust the length of your piece. You will have about an inch leeway past your requested length. The extension is finished with a small coordinating bead.
EARWIRES
All earrings come with the earwire shown in the photograph. However, there are three earwire choices that you can choose from at no extra charge. Earwire Charts are at the bottom of the page for easy reference. You will be asked to make your selection on the ORDER FORM page.
Included Earwires - no extra charge
Long Fishhook Standard Fishhook Post
Add-on Earwires
In addition to the above, there are three other earwire choices which you may prefer and which will add to the cost of your purchase.
There is a place on the earring ORDER FORM to select your add-on earwire and add it to your cart.
If you are adding earwires to more than one pair of earrings, be sure to number each earring and its corresponding add-on earwire in the Comment Areas of the ORDER FORMS. For example, mark the first pair as "1" and the second as "2", etc.

PENDANTS
Any earring (except Clusters) can be made into a pendant, which you can purchase as a Pendant Necklace. In addition, you can add one or more pendants to an existing Pendant Necklace or Droplet Necklace. Just click on Add-on Pendants, which you can find on the necklace ORDER FORM, to make your selection.
If you are making multiple necklace purchases, please number the necklace and its corresponding Add-on Pendant(s) in the Comment Areas of the ORDER FORMS. For example mark the first piece as "1" and the second as "2", etc.
I will place a single Add-on Pendant in the center of a Droplet Necklace, as shown. Multiple Add-on Pendants will be evenly placed on the chosen necklace unless you've written other instructions in the Comments Area.
