We use Argentium® silver, sterling silver, copper, and brass.  All pieces are created using traditional metalsmithing techniques, from sheet metal and wire.  In some pieces, commercially-made Italian sterling silver chain is incorporated, when the added labour and expense of a handmade chain is not feasible.

Traditional sterling silver contains 92.5% pure silver (this is where the “.925” comes from), with the remaining 7.5% being copper.  If sterling tarnishes, it’s the copper content that causes it.  The Argentium® silver we use, on the other hand, contains either 93.5% pure silver, and some of the copper has been replaced by a metal called germanium.  This results in a highly-tarnish resistant metal that is brighter and whiter than platinum, white gold and traditional sterling.  Argentium® is hypoallergenic and antibacterial, making it a perfect choice for those who are unable to wear base metals or even sterling.

Windsong Jewellery Design’s studio is located in a quiet suburb of Vancouver, British Columbia.  Although the studio is not open to the public, we welcome people to meet with us by appointment at a mutually-convenient location.

You can find us on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter.  You can also keep up to date by subscribing to the newsletter – otherwise known as becoming a “Windsong VIP” (don’t worry, we won’t fill up your inbox!).

Most pieces are handmade to order, and therefore slight variations are to be expected from photos on the website.  Some pieces are one-of-a-kind, and you will receive the actual item shown.  In all cases, due to the handmade nature of the work, you can take pleasure in the knowledge that your Windsong treasure is unique and special – you will never find hundreds of other people wearing the exact same piece!

Please note that each piece is handmade and may therefore contain natural imperfections.  These are distinguishing characteristics of the piece and are not considered to be defects.

If you are not thrilled with your purchase, or if an item is damaged during shipping, you are welcome to return it for a full refund of the purchase price (not including shipping and handling).  You must notify us of your intent to return your item within 24 hours of receipt of the package, by email at info@whoiswindsong.com.  Item must be returned in original new, unworn, resaleable condition.

Returns must be shipped properly protected (bubble wrap, etc.), with insurance equal to the total purchase price, to Windsong Jewellery Design in its original, unused condition within 7 days of receipt.  Buyer assumes responsibility for return shipping costs.  Returns and exchanges do not include reimbursement of original shipping and handling charges.  Items returned damaged and/or with signs of wear will be returned to the purchaser, and no refund will be given.

If you don’t see exactly what you are looking for, please do not hesitate to contact us so we can discuss variations to an existing design, or a completely new piece.   The custom process is a collaborative effort, with the exchange of ideas, sketches and progress photographs, which will result in a very special piece that you can truly call your own.

A deposit is required on all custom orders, based on 50% of the initial estimate.  The final cost may change, depending on the number of revisions or adjustments requested.  The balance is due upon completion of the order, which will be shipped once the invoice is paid in full.

Windsong Jewellery Design is not responsible for any Customs clearance fees, brokerage fees, taxes or duties you may incur, so please know your country’s policies in this regard.

Your order will be carefully packaged and padded to ensure safe delivery.  The package labeling will not mention “jewellery”, in order to maximize the privacy and security of your order.

Windsong Jewellery Design is not responsible for lost/stolen packages unless insurance is requested at time of purchase.  Rush shipping is available upon request – please contact us for an estimate prior to making a purchase.

All items are shipped via Canada Post’s Expresspost service.  Shipping within Canada is free with minimum $150 purchase.  Personal delivery within the Greater Vancouver area is available for an additional $25CAD.
