Earrings: The length of an earring is usually measured from the connecting point on the earring hook or post to the bottom of the earring.

Necklace Style: Necklace lengths are measured from the hollow at the base of the throat.If your neck measures 13-inches, then a 16-inch necklace will drape about one and one half inches below the base of the throat. The common recommendation is to allow one-half-inch of drape per each inch of necklace length.

Necklace Sizes:

Collar (12-13 inches) Collar necklaces are worn as a snug fit around the middle of the neck.
Choker (14-16 inches)
 The classic and versatile choker necklace lays perfectly around the base of the neck.
Princess (17-19 inches) A princess necklace, falling just below the throat, typically is worn as a contrast to low-plunging necklines. Especially with a pendant it can be a bold, eye-catching look. This is the most popular necklace size.
Matinee (20-24 inches) Matinee is the perfect choice for casual or business attire.
Opera (28-34 inches)The adorning opera necklace is versatile enough to transform from day to elegant evening wear by going from a double to single strand.
Rope (over 45-inches) Measuring at least 45-inches in length, the rope is a must-have woman’s accessory. It is both elegant and classic and will dress up any outfit day or night. The versatile rope necklace can be transformed into a multi-strand necklace with matching bracelet combination.

Bracelet Sizing Guide:                                     

1. Measure your wrist with a flexible measuring tape. If you don’t have a measuring tape, use a thin strip of paper or string. Cut it to length and measure with a standard ruler.

3. Add one-half inch to the measurement for babies and toddlers and add one-nch for teens and adults. Compare your measurement with the charts below to determine the bracelet size you need.

Dreamscape Jewelry Design was created to provide our customers with unique alternatives to the mass-produced jewelry which has been flooding the marketplace. We specialize in hand-crafted, custom designed and unique jewelry. Our designs are inspired by the “stories” found in a variety of places from luminous lampwork beads and semi-precious gemstones, to the beauty found in nature and natural leathers.  The gemstones we use come from as near as our lake in Maine and as far away as New Zealand. We use quality components which are listed in the description of each piece. Bracelets, necklaces and anklets have tiny tags in either sterling, copper, or 14k gold plated, bearing the initials of Dreamscape Jewelry and its trillium logo, guaranteeing each piece is of our creation and design.

We have expanded our original designs to include four new lines: 

Bojangles Sterling Bangles are adjustable, expandable sterling bracelets. Some of our bracelets are designed with a theme, based on the charms chosen. Customers also have the option to customize, adding birthstones, initials, etc.

MayaMagsVintage pins and brooches are given a new story, being brought out of oblivion, refurbished and then transformed with strong magnets instead of the traditional pin fasteners.  As a result, there are no more worries about pin holes and tears in your clothing.

Silverstone Collection:  Precious and semi-precious gemstones hand-crafted in one-of-a-kind, sterling silver settings.

ZoBanglesZoBangles features gorgeous European leathers in a multitude of colors and textures, and a wide-range of quality, lead-free components, ranging from artisan ceramics to magnetic clasps.

We have included this section of terms that are used in describing our jewelry.  If you find a term which needs clarification, please let us know and we will add it to the glossary.

Base Metal: Metal which is not precious (i.e. gold, silver, etc.) such as lead, bismuth, tin, copper, etc.

Bezel: A ring or band of metal that surrounds a cabochon or faceted stone. Also, the rim of metal surrounding the watch dial (or face).

Birthstone: A rock or gemstone corresponding with the calendar month of birth or a sign of the Zodiac.

Brass: Brass is a combination of copper and zinc. It’s usually 67% copper and 33% zinc.

Bronze: Bronze is an alloy of 90% copper and 10% tin.

Cloissane: A technique in which colors of a design are separated by thin metal strips which are attached to outline the design. Then the areas are filled in with colored enamel and heated at high temperatures to fuse the enamel to the surface.

Copper: Copper is a soft metal which can tarnish quickly. Most copper beads are actually pewter or brass coated in copper. It tarnishes quickly, so it should be stored in an airtight container.

Copper (Enameled): Enameled Copper is soft copper coated in a layer of colored enamel.>

Gold Filled: Gold filled is a layer of gold surrounding a base metal.

Gold Plated: The gold layer is not less than 10 karat fineness and the minimum thickness of the plating is one-half micron (or approximately 20 millionths of an inch) of gold.

Lab Created GemStones: created in a lab are chemically, physically and optically identical to those mined underground — but they have fewer flaws, a lighter carbon footprint and cost less, too.*

Lampwork: Lampwork beads are the result of a type of glasswork where artists use gas-fueled torches to melt rods of glass. Once the glass is molten, the artist forms the beads by blowing and shaping with tools and specific hand movements.

Pewter: Pewter is a silver white mixture of at least 90% tin with antimony and copper. Although historically lead was used in the process of making pewter, it is not legal in the United States.

Sterling Silver: Sterling silver is a combination of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper or associated metal. Because silver is such a soft metal, adding other metals increases its strength and durability. To minimize the silver from tarnishing, either store in an airtight container, or wrap in anti-tarnish tissue.

Silver Filled: Silver filled is a layer of sterling silver that has been mechanically bonded to a brass or copper alloy core. It is more scratch resistant than silver-plated jewelry.

Silver Plated: For economical reasons, silver plating is made by using inexpensive base metal which has been coated with a thin layer of silver.

Surgical Steel: Surgical Steel is a stainless steel made of chromium, nickel, and molybdenum.

Vermeil: Vermeil is sterling silver which has been gold plated.
