Announcement
Metal contemporary jewelry, handcrafted by yours truly, Letitia Pintilie.
I work [most of the time] in copper, brass and silver, metalworking being one of my favourite means of expression.
Every piece is made entirely by hand, in my home studio. I have an obssession for rings, but I do my best to create earrings, brooches, necklaces or bracelets, too - when I'm not making rings, of course :)
I am a big fan of patina|oxidation, electroforming, enameling, raw gems.

5 out of 5 starsThis ring is wonderfully created. Very naturalistic, and quite different - which I love. Leti was wonderful to work with, and kept me posted on the shipping and expected arrival. It was packaged beautifully, and I am enjoying wearing and sharing it!

I grew older, and with me - my passion for jewelry. Once a hobby, now a full time occupation. I started from scratch, I wanted to learn. And I have. And I will . Still :)
Shop policies
My name is Leti [short for Letitia] and I like to play with metal [mostly].
If you're reading this, it probably means you like my playground. That makes two of us, you know ;)
Have fun looking around and adding things to your cart - wait, did I just say that? :)
Here are some guidelines to be considered when placing an order in my shop.
* copper and brass are subject to oxidation - this means in time they will change colour [get darker]
*all my pieces are finished with Renaissance wax, to delay the oxidation process
*pieces worn very close to the skin [rings,bracelets,necklaces] could produce a skin coloration [normal reaction between metal and skin oils, perfumes, sweat] - this can be washed off with warm water and soap and it is not a health hazard
*the patinas I apply are usually sealed for protection with a clear lacquer. in time they can get a darker shade, or wear off.
*keep the pieces of jewelry very well protected from humidity, sunlight, chemicals,dust
*after wearing, polish them with a soft cloth, to remove the excess humidity or dirt
*be sure you are aware of the particularities of brass and copper before placing an order in my shop
*I reccommend avoiding wearing brass and copper jewelry if you know that you have allergies to these metals
*you can clean at home the pieces of jewelry in brass and copper, using a mixture of vinegar and salt [about 1 cup of vinegar and 1-2 teaspoons of table salt ; imerse the jewelry for a few minutes, untill you see the tarnish has gone; wash them with lukewarm water and soap; rinse very well; dry them with a soft cloth]
*don't try to clean with the solution above/ with chemicals for jewelry cleaning, the pieces of jewelry that include gemstones - these could be damaged within the process
*don't try to clean with the solution above/ with chemicals for jewelry cleaning, the pieces of jewelry that have various patina formulas applied to them - it will clean it off for good.
*even if it's metal jewelry, it still can be damaged, if worn/handled without care.
