The work
All items are made from acrylic (PMMA) or other plastics and are formed by a variety of methods. Each piece has been decorated and assembled personally by Gail Klevan using various metallic foils and coloured compounds. They are backed with durable lacquers and varnishes and some items are signed.
Pierced-ear fittings are made from surgical steel which contains between 6-13 % nickel but has a release rate of less than 0.5 µg/cm²/week of nickel and therefore comply with EU Nickel Directive 76/769/EEC and 94/27/EEC. Hooks for drop earrings are also made from surgical steel and clip-on findings are made from gold plated brass or nickel-silver plated brass which also comply with EU Nickel Directives. For those who are hyper-sensitive to nickel, sterling silver fittings can be supplied at extra cost. The metal tubes used in the chokers, neck and wrist cuffs are made of copper plated with either gold or nickel-free “white-bronze”. White bronze alloys contain tin, copper and zinc.

Delivery
Our aim is to send you your order quickly and efficiently. Most pieces are normally available for despatch within 2 to 5 working days however we cannot guarantee any particular delivery date and, on occasions, delivery times may extend well beyond 5 days.

Just email us at office -at- gailklevan.com. Alternatively you could consider a Gail Klevan gift voucher.

This includes pieces specially made with customer specified colours or where a bangle, bracelet, ring or other item has been specially shaped or sized for you.
