Meet Margurite, Our Newest Artisan!

"I use my creations to try to reflect the inner beauty and spirit of the person wearing the jewelry. It reflects their beauty and gives them confidence in who they are as well as helping to heal me. I'm not really sure what you would like in the bio. I'm also the very proud mother of two incredible sons, I taught myself to make jewelry several years ago and am continually evolving and refining the craft. I get my greatest joys (and most healing) from seeing the happiness on someone else's face when they find "that perfect" piece. That is a feeling that is incredibly fulfilling...and addicting!

FAQ for Customers

Who created my product?

One of our talented artisans created your product! To find a list of artisan bios, visit The Artists tab located at www.uncoveredartistry.com. Also, a bio of your artisan is written in the product description on the website and will be written on a card along with your purchase. Our artisans are survivors of domestic and sexual abuse as well as donation artisans whose work was donated to the site to help us further our mission.

How will my product be packaged?

Your product will be packaged with recycled packaging whenever possible. With the help of volunteers, we create mailers, gift tags, and other packaging material using repurposed sewing patterns, ribbon, stamps, and greeting cards. Your product will be packaged with care. Included with your product are an artisan bio card, a domestic violence facts card, and an invoice (unless product requested to be sent as gift).

If my item is backordered or made-to-order, when will I receive it?

The shipment of your product from Uncovered Artistry may take up to two weeks. Here’s what happens: we purchase the unique item from the artisan who creates the piece and ships it to us. We quality-check the product, package it, and ship it to you. We attempt to inform you of the status of your product as often as possible.

How much are shipping charges?

We ship by weight. Orders weighing 0-1lb will be charged $2.50. Any order weighing above that amount will be charged $4.50.

Can I ship my product directly to a friend as a gift?

We would love to send your product directly to a friend. During checkout, request that your item be sent as a gift. We will include a gift tag with the recipient’s name, an artisan bio card and domestic violence facts card. We will not include a paper copy of the invoice with a gift purchase.

What should I do if I’ve made an order but closed out of my browser before paying via PayPal?
