"I don't like standard beauty – there is no beauty without some strangeness."
– Karl Lagerfield.
"In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different."
– Coco Chanel.
People have asked me what 'soft gothic' means. I use the phrase to describe the kind of jewellery I make.
'Gothic' means, among other things, 'of or pertaining to a literary style characterised by gloom, the grotesque, and the supernatural'. I've also heard it defined as 'characterised by a preoccupation with death'.
I'm going for a softer, less gloomy but still introspective and thoughtful feel. Gothicism without the harshness, grotesqueness, or the preoccupation with death. A somewhat bohemian aesthetic, influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites and the New Romantics, the neo-goths and the romantigoths.
A bohemian gothic. A romantic gothic. A soft, classy, elegant gothic.
Designs run from simple, relatively conservative pieces with just a hint of gothic charisma, so that they are suitable for wearing to work, to bold, unabashedly bohemian showstoppers that are only suitable for rock stars and those blessed people who are so secure in themselves that they can handle the gaping stares.
Designed for dreamers with day jobs who moonlight as rockstars, Silverlight Jewellery is for those who aspire to be more than they are.

Extension chains, alternative clasps, and most length alterations can be arranged free of charge. Simply leave me a message in the ‘message to seller’ field when you check out of Felt. Some jewellery pieces cannot be altered; this is usually indicated in the description.

If you have purchased from Silverlight Jewellery before and have a Free Shipping card, enter the code on the reverse of the card into the 'notes for Silverlight' field when you check out of Felt. If you have paid via credit card or PayPal, the shipping cost for that order will be refunded to you via PayPal (the money will appear on your credit card even if you do not have a PayPal account). If you pay via bank deposit (New Zealand customers only), you can either contact me, before paying, to confirm the total due, or pay the full amount and I will refund the surplus postage to you.
I use mostly second-hand packing supplies, in the belief that this is good for the environment and good for the soul. I make sure that all of these reused materials are sound and clean before I use them. And, of course, I package my items well.
In the interests of reducing the amount of resources we consume, I will no longer be including a paper invoice with your purchase unless you specifically request one. PayPal automatically sends an invoice via E-mail, so you can of course print that for your records if you wish.
Within New Zealand, all my jewellery is sent with a tracking number. Please be aware that the tracked parcel service I use (within New Zealand) can take up to a week for delivery.
International tracking is unavailable at this time; however, in the unlikely event of a parcel going missing, I am happy to either give you a shop credit equal to the amount you paid (plus free shipping!) or refund the purchase price of the item (not including the shipping cost).
Please note that international buyers are responsible for any customs or duties charges that may apply.

The risk of buying online is that you cannot try the item on or pick it up to feel its weight, texture, and quality. Therefore I offer refunds (postage excluded) on any item you purchase that isn't what you thought it was, doesn't fit, or just doesn't 'feel' right.
Conditions for refunds are simple and few:
1. the buyer pays for postage (tracked, if in New Zealand) to return the item to me;
2. the item is returned in the condition in which it arrived;
3. the original packaging is included with the returned item.
