About this Product

Native American style beaded Dragonfly earrings handmade by Kilikina 

These pretty Dragonfly earrings are made of Delica seed beads - they measure about 1 1/4" wide and about 1 3/4" long (not including the hooks). All measurements are estimated. The beadwork is hand sewn, one bead at a time, in my smoke free studio. These earrings are currently on stainless steel fishhooks. The fishhooks can be changed to French wires, posts, or clips if requested. Buyer must request the change by message, before or when the item is purchased, as for I need to make any changes before packing and/or shipment.

 Item colors may vary slightly from the picture(s), which can be due to many factors, such as the variation of computer screen colors, lighting, bead dye lot variations, bead availability causing substitutions, etc.

Meet the Maker

Hello, welcome to my shop of handmade jewelry.  My name is Kilikina.  I am also known as Kili, Christie, and C.C.  I own Kilikina's Beadwork and C.C.'s Beadwork.  

I started making Native American Style beaded jewelry in December of 1988, but I have always had a special love of beads. I contribute this special love to the First Nation American Indian heritage from my mother's side of our family.  My earliest memories of beading are of watching my great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother making beaded belts. 

The beaded items you will find on my site are made by me, one bead at a time.  I also enjoy making other items with various beads such as necklaces, bracelets, etc. Periodically I may list items made by my family members, but I will label them as so.  I design a lot of my own patterns, but others have come from patterns I have purchased, traded, or been gifted by family members, friends or customers.  I strive to produce excellent quality beadwork, and I stand behind my art.  I will repair, free of charge, any item that has a designer flaw on my part.  I also try very hard to keep my prices as low as possible for my customers.  My prices are determined by the jewelry's style, the time used to make the item, the type of materials used and their prices.  This is an art, so no two pieces are exactly the same.  If you see something I have listed, but would like to change it, let me know so I can see what I can do for  you.  

I would like to thank all of my customers for their ideas, suggestions, and purchases through the years.  Some of you have been buying my jewelry for many years, a few of you own almost one of everything I have ever made!  To all of my customers, thank you very, very much.  May The Great Spirit bless you.

How it’s Made

I hand bead my earrings, one bead at a time, in a smoke free environment. I use glass Delica seed beads, Nymo thread, stainless steel fishhook ear wires and my love of beading.

Payment

Please Note… Items do not ship until payment(s) have been received, have cleared and are confirmed cleared. Once your payment has cleared, I will process and ship your order usually within 3 - 5 normal business days.

Shipping

Shipping Charges... my shop charges current shipping costs for Ground Advantage Mail which includes tracking for delivery conformation. Included in my shipping charges, are a small amount for packaging materials and supplies. I package my products very well, however they are fragile and can possibly suffer damage in shipping. Damaged items will only be replaced if the buyer cooperates and provides all needed pictures for a successful insurance claim. Shipping Price Break... All of my items include a shipping price break for items purchased at the same time, on the same invoice. Items are usually wrapped in foam padding, bubble wrap, and include an invoice, and then placed inside a bubble mailer for shipping. Items usually ship within 3 - 5 business days from purchase and payment clearing (excluding custom orders). All items are shipped to the address located in the order at the "Ship To" address provided there by you. Please be sure that you have provided the correct shipping information. If you have ordered an item for a gift or other purpose, that will be shipped to a different location, please be sure that you provide me notice of such and the correct address for shipping.

I currently only have shipping fees listed for items shipped within the U.S.A. Please message me for more information. Orders are filled and shipped as they are placed, and I try to get them mailed within 1 - 3 business days after payment has cleared (not counting weekends or legal holidays). During peak times of the year orders are usually filled and shipped within 3 - 5 business days, (Christmas, Valentines Day, Mother's and Father's Day, etc.) please expect to add an additional few days for processing, as we are typically swamped with orders from local booth events we attend. I attend fairs, craft shows, bazaars, and other types of events, where I sometimes sell out of jewelry and may have to restock. I will advise the buyer if I am waiting on a restock or supply and/or need to make an item they have purchased. Some items may be made when orders are received. Please note: A delivery tracking number will be provided to buyers when their order is marked complete. This allows for the buyer to track and ensure the delivery of their items. Upon shipment, any issues with delivery is then between the buyer and the USPS.

Additional policies and FAQs

Out of Stock Information: I try to keep all listed items in stock and it's not normal for my jewelry, beads or beading supply items to be out of stock. However, sometimes they may be out with a jobber, consigned to a store, or I may have sold them at a recent show or in one of my other online shops. In this case they will be recalled or made. Rarely is this an issue, if this does happen, the buyer will be notified that this will delay the shipping for a few days. Some items are made as orders are received. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me! Wholesale, custom orders, and bulk order sales will be listed as a custom order in the name of the one whom has made the order. Please feel free to message me with any questions or requests. Please note that item colors may vary slightly from their picture(s) due to many factors such as the variation of computer screen colors, lighting, material's color dye lot differences, etc. A BIG Thank you to all of my wonderful customers, take care and may the Great Spirit bless you.
