VITAL INFO FOR US CUSTOMERS - PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING AN ORDER:
I’ve decided to reopen US shipping — but please read carefully before ordering, as you need to be aware that it does unfortunately come with some risk of additional fees for you, the customer. More details on what this means below the item details in this info section at the bottom (right before the “Care Instructions” section) - please read this before placing an order if you're in the US so you know what you’re getting into!
The Flight of Mushrooms Collection
The "Flight of Mushrooms" collection is here to help you live your elven, fairy, goblin, mystical forest creature dreams with pieces inspired by the magic present in all of nature. My wish is that this collection will inspire you to bring more magic into your home, and to feel confident in decorating both yourself and your home with things that feel 100% authentic to you! 🦋 Each piece of this collection was handmade by myself (Alexia) and no two are the same. You will be the only person in the world to own an object from this collection as due to the handmade nature of them (being sculpted by hand), each piece is totally unique and can never be replicated! ✨ I poured lots of love, and a little piece of my heart and soul, into everything I made for this collection.
Bright Red Mushroom Earrings with Faceted Labradorite Gemstones
These earrings are perfect for anyone who wants to add fantastical whimsy to their outfit! They are made with polymerclay, sterling silver earring hooks, (option for stretched ears available on request!) fake moss, and real faceted labradorite crystals which are said to be a crystal with magical properties to help you strengthen your intuition and tap into all that which is unseen, whilst green aura quartz crystal points, said to help with removing energetic blocks and balancing your heart chakra ✨ These mushroom earrings will act as incredible compliment magnets, as they are so eye-catching, detailed, and will add the perfect finishing touch to any hobbit, fairy, renaissance, or cottage core outfit. The caps of the mushrooms have been painted in a cheerful and bright red. The labradorite cabochons glow different hues of blue, green and gold in different lights, creating a mesmerising effect. The whole earring is designed to give the effect of an enchanted woodland. I can guarantee that you will feel like you possess the magic of an elven forest when you try these on!
You will also be the only one in the world to own a pair of earrings like this, a totally one-off handmade piece of jewellery, unique to you and your personality, that can never be replicated the same way again.

**Vital Information for US Customers - please read before placing an order!!**
Due to new US import rules, jewellery items are no longer covered by the “de minimis exemption,” which means you might be charged extra duties or handling fees when your parcel arrives. These fees are completely outside of my control, and they can be up to around £30 ($35–40) on top of the $26 shipping you’re already paying me at checkout.
Here’s how it works in practice when I ship with Royal Mail → USPS:
- When your parcel enters the US, USPS will hold it until the fee is paid.
- They’ll usually send you a notice (by mail, sometimes by email/text) with a link or instructions to pay online.
- In some cases, they may collect the fee at the doorstep when delivering.
- Either way, your package won’t be released until the fee is settled — so you’ll always know before receiving it.
Please keep in mind: I can’t be held responsible for these unexpected charges. By placing an order, you accept that extra fees may be required to release your parcel, and that I as the seller don’t have any influence over what they may decide to charge you once your item lands in the US.
Thank you so much for your support and understanding 💜 I don’t want to barre anyone from ordering who is still willing to accept whatever additional fees may come later - as long as you are aware that placing an order with me means you are agreeing to these potential extra charges by USPS.
Red Mushroom Toadstool and Faceted Labradorite Sterling Silver Earrings
Any finished sculpture or item of jewellery of mine that you receive, should be relatively strong, but not indestructible. As such, adequate care should be taken to ensure that the piece is out of reach of pets, children, and the possibility of being dropped, as you would with any other fragile ornament in the home. That being said, it will be certainly be strong enough for moderate handling as you examine it and admire its unique features! :)
Will I have to pay extra for shipping/postage?
Postage is free for anyone using standard 2nd class or international standard delivery. Unfortunately those outside the UK must pay extra for postage if they want it to be tracked, and UK customers must pay extra if they want their order sent by special delivery guarenteed, (the only option that offers tracking information) otherwise shipping costs can be too expensive for me to cover just in the price of an item alone. I would HIGHLY recommend (especially in this time of covid 19 bringing chaos to our postal services) that both UK and US customers pay for the shipping option that offers tracking, as if not, there will be no way for us to find where your package has gone if it gets lost or delayed on its way to you. I cannot accept responsibility, nor give out refunds or replacements, for items lost in the mail if you did not select the tracked option at checkout. Once a package leaves my hands at the post office, it is completely out of my control.
How many creations can I recieve from you in one go?
In one parcel, there will be sent a maximum of two to three creations, depending on their size. If you feel like going on a larger shopping spree (and I would not mind if you did!) expect to recieve two or three at a time, in different parcels that may be delivered on different days, depending on whether the creations you have ordered differ in the time they need to be prepared before posting (for instance, if one of your purchases includes a made-to-order item).
How long will my order take to get to me?
If you live in the UK (where I am based) you can expect your parcel to arrive within one to two weeks once I have posted it off (which may take up to a week for me to prepare beforehand if you have selected any extra additions from the drop-down menu). If you live in the US, your parcel will likely take two to three weeks to arrive after I have sent it out. It is important that these shipping times are taken into account if the item is needed before a certain deadline (e.g as a birthday present) as well as if you have purchased a made-to-order item. Extra delays are also expected for international and US customers due to covid-19 issues, which unfortunately I have no control over.
What is the difference between waiting for a made-to-order item and waiting for a pre-made item?
If the item you have ordered is classed as "made-to-order", that could add a maximum of an extra week on to the time it will take to reach you, from the moment of purchase (due to the time it will take me to hand-craft your purchase from scratch). Don't worry though - if the item you want is made-to-order, it will say in big letters at the top of the item's description. If your item does not say anything about it being made-to-order in the description, then you can assume that it is a pre-made creation, and therefore will be ready to be posted to you in a week or less.
