Frequently Asked Questions
What does Strange Angel Creations make?
Strange Angel Creations focuses on handmade jewelry created by Sarah VandeWiele, including necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and custom commissioned pieces.
What materials are used?
Stainless steel is the primary foundation used throughout Strange Angel Creations jewelry. Individual pieces may also include pendants, stones, charms, decorative components, or other materials depending on the design.
What is the difference between Available Now and The Archive?
Available Now contains pieces currently available to purchase. The Archive contains past Strange Angel creations that have already found a home.
Archive pieces may still be useful as inspiration for a custom commission.
Can Sarah recreate something from The Archive?
In many cases, yes. You can inquire about recreating a previous Strange Angel design or commissioning something inspired by it. Exact recreation depends on materials, components, and feasibility.
How do custom commissions work?
Start by submitting a Custom Commission Inquiry . Sarah will review your idea and normally respond by email within 1–3 business days.
Accepted commissions require a 50% non-refundable deposit. The remaining balance is due before shipment. Standard commissions generally include up to three revisions.
Can I send inspiration or reference images for a commission?
Yes. Photos, drawings, screenshots, Pinterest ideas, previous Strange Angel pieces, and other jewelry concepts can all be used to communicate your ideas.
Reference material is treated as inspiration and does not guarantee an exact copy or reproduction.
How long does an order take to ship?
Ready-made items are normally processed within 1–3 business days. Shipping transit time begins after the order has been handed to the carrier.
Custom commission production times are determined case by case.
How much is shipping?
Standard U.S. website shipping is currently $6.95 per order. Orders are typically shipped using USPS Ground Advantage, although another comparable or upgraded service may be used when appropriate.
Website orders are currently available for U.S. shipping only.
Are returns or exchanges accepted?
Ready-made jewelry is generally final sale, but return or exchange requests may be considered case by case when Strange Angel Creations is contacted within 7 calendar days of delivery.
Approved customer-choice returns must be unworn, unused, and in original condition. Customers are generally responsible for return shipping and original shipping charges are non-refundable.
Custom commissioned pieces are final sale after final approval and full payment.
What if my item arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect?
Contact Strange Angel Creations within 7 calendar days of delivery. Photos may be requested to help review the problem.
If the issue was caused by Strange Angel Creations or was present upon delivery, Sarah will work with you toward an appropriate resolution and cover necessary corrective shipping.
Can I cancel an order?
Ready-made orders may be cancelled before they have been fulfilled and transferred to the shipping carrier. Once an order has shipped, it can no longer be cancelled.
Custom commission deposits are non-refundable once paid.
Do you offer repairs, resizing, or adjustments?
Yes, these requests are considered case by case. Repairs, resizing, and adjustments requested after the initial delivery issue period are generally paid services, with the customer responsible for shipping the piece to and from Strange Angel Creations.
How should I care for my jewelry?
Plain stainless-steel jewelry can generally be cleaned gently with mild soap and water and a soft cloth, then dried thoroughly. Abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals should be avoided.
Pieces containing stones, pendants, charms, or other components may require different care. Contact Sarah if you are unsure about a specific piece.
