Announcement    My paperweights and pendants feature high-quality printed artwork of my own and from my collection of books, cards, and calendars. The glass border of each paperweight is hand-painted in transparent, opaque, or metallic colors to frame the design, then the bottom is finished in a matching felt color.

The American-made glass is of the highest quality, however, paperweight glass shares characteristics indicative of handcrafted glassware. These include imperfections that should not be considered flaws or irregularities. Faint swirling results when glass is gathered from the furnace, small bubbles are caused when glass is hand-dropped into the mold, and marks or scratches can be left from the mold. Bubbles are are present in most paperweights, especially rectangle shapes. Dome Paperweights can also have uneven edges and small chips along the dome's bottom edge, which are usually covered by the felt bottom.

This information is received only by Etsy and is covered by Etsy’s privacy policy. If you pay for your order with PayPal, your data will be protected by PayPal's privacy policy.

When you place an order with me, I will receive your name, delivery address and email address from Etsy. I will only use these details to process and deliver your order, or deal with any queries you may have related to that order. If you send me a message using the Contact button on Etsy, I will receive your username and email address.

Frequently asked questions

Cancelling order

Custom orders can NOT be cancelled once they have commenced or are completed, and not returnable. Each made-to-order paperweight or pendant requires 2-3 business days for completion. If I have not shipped a regular order you are welcome to contact me to cancel and refund.

Care instructions

Paperweight Care: Please do not display in direct sunlight as it may cause fading of the image. Glass may be cleaned with glass cleaner.
Pendant Care: Glass jewelry is sealed on the back with a non-toxic, water-based product which makes it resistant to water, but not waterproof. Please do not subject it to wet conditions like in the shower or while exercising. Extended direct contact with the skin will shorten the life of the clear sealer on the back. Glass surface may be cleaned with soft cloth.

Custom and personalized orders

My Custom Paperweight Section has paperweights in many shapes and sizes. Digital "Camera-Ready" artwork is required that does not need changes other than re-sizing and/or cropping. Preparing and locating artwork is NOT included in price of a custom paperweight.
Paperweights requiring typesetting are listed separately in price menu. Digital photo file(s) should be in JPG or PNG format with size of the photo as large as possible for best resolution. Please email artwork to: BixlerandJohnson@gmail.com (not through an Etsy message) because it is a better quality image. Not sure what size paperweight is suitable? I would be happy to view your artwork and make a recommendation BEFORE you purchase.

Can you make make me a custom quote paperweight?

Yes, I have a Custom Paperweight Section. Each custom listing shows two prices: "With Buyer's Artwork" is when you provide the artwork (may be a typeset quote or an image), "Typesetting Required" is when I typeset the quote/copy for you in your chosen typeface.
You may choose both the typeface style and color, and background color. A Typeface Selection Sheet is available with 22 choices. A gold, copper, silver, brown, black or custom color may be chosen for the border on edge of the glass. (Please inquire to see if a custom color is available.) Turnaround time for a custom order is usually 2-4 business days, providing the paperweight style and quantity is in stock.

"Marked As Gift" Definition

"Marked as gift" means the packing slip will print without price info, like a gift receipt. You may request this if you're having me ship directly to the gift recipient OR if you wish to enclose this when you gift the item yourself.

Gift Message Option

You may add a message for your gift recipient that will be printed on the packing slip (which is a gift receipt without prices) IF you check the "marked as gift" box.

Item Quantity Available

Some of my items have a quantity of 1 listed since they are custom made with a choice of border color or pendant bail finish. Because of this you will often see an "Only 1 Available" or "Only 1 Left" message below the listing photo. Please ignore this because more are usually available.
The quantity cannot be increased at checkout. If a greater quantity is needed contact me to customize a listing with the desired quantity and shipping discount.

Gift wrapping and packaging

You may purchase gift wrapping for a charge of $3.00 PER ORDER. Items are wrapped in tissue, then in a square bubble-wrap bundle. Gift wrap, ribbon, and gift card are added. Gift boxes are not used. If you chose the "Gift Message" option I can add your message to a gift card. Indicate the gift recipient's address if it is different from the address listed on your account.

Do You Offer Free Shipping?

I do not offer Free Shipping because shipping is never really "free". It either must be rolled into the item price or covered by a subscription membership. I feel including it in the price is deceptive and overcharges customers who purchase multiple items in an order. This is especially true for international customers who pay high shipping charges and VAT fees.
My shipping charges are honest and accurate. When ordering multiple items the most economical, safe method is chosen and any shipping overage over $1 refunded.

Can I Get Expedited Shipping?

Yes, shipping upgrades to Priority Mail and Express Priority Mail are available at checkout. Any shipping overcharges due to zip code will be refunded when label is printed. 😊

Please note that upgrading shipping does not mean your order will be rushed. It only applies to your shipping method and not the order creation. Please contact me prior to purchase if you have a time sensitive delivery date to see if it is possible. Thank you!
