FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
RE: PRODUCTSQ. WHY DO YOU MOSTLY OFFER "FACTORY ASSORTED"?
A. "Factory Assorted" is the term used when the factory makes up your order with a selection as close to what is described. We will take a picture of an assortment and send it to your for your approval BEFORE we ship, so you can verify it's what you want. What you see will be what you get.
B. EACH of our Sun Catcher Pendants and accessories are different. No two are alike. Because nothing is mass produced, it's impossible to show you on line exactly what you will get when you place an order on line. However, feel free to schedule a Zoom Shop to pick and choose each item, or call to view our POP UP Presentation at your location if you do business in Alberta. Q. WHERE ARE JESMIC ITEMS MADE?
All Jesmic products are made in the province of Alberta, Canada, in the Studio Store of Esther Susan, three hours north of Edmonton.
All Sun Catcher Pendants, and all accessories are designed and made, one at a time, by Esther Susan. Special Orders and Collections are modified for customer's preferences in Calgary by our sales staff as required. Q. WHERE DO GET YOUR COMPONENTS?
A. We always source local and Canadian, or then North American suppliers FIRST. This is especially important when we need parts in a hurry or in smaller quantities. However, because we sell wholesale to retailers, who have to purchase at price points and quantities for making good profits, we do have suppliers off shore and internationally.
Q. WHAT ARE YOUR SUN CATCHER PENDANTS MADE FROM?
A. Generally speaking our SCP's are made from "New, Natural, and Vintage" components. The most reflective material is multifaceted glass that is electroplated for a rainbow finish. All metallic accents, findings, etc. are mixed alloy and electroplated stainless steel and nickel free for wearing.
Q. WHY DO SOME OF THE METALLIC ACCENTS OR CHARMS LOOK TARNISHED?
A. One reason is that IF the mixed alloy has silver, it will tarnish the same as any silver product that isn't factory coated. The other reason is that Jesmic products are prized for their vintage look of glamour and that comes naturally with patina, or a natural aged look.
Most components can be brightened by following directions of a commercial polish product, by you or your customer. |
