Welcome to Yondale Designs..

Please read the content below to find out more about Yondale Designs, our policies & personal views.  This content noted on the Policies page will be deemed read and acknowledged by any Purchaser of item(s) supplied by Yondale Designs.

About Us..

Due to repeated requests and a keen interest to know more about our line of products, we have decided to present our current range on the following web pages. It has really been a personal struggle trying to put this together, as the beauty of the stamped product is that it is ‘personal’ and should not be limited by ‘what you see’ online or in a catalogue.

The stamped jewellery of Yondale Designs started out as a holiday 'fad'.  The first stamping effort consisted of 3 discs of our children's names, and dog tags of my nephews' names.  Upon showing friends and my 'fad critiques' the finished products, the interest and orders started immediately.   

We welcome all queries on our products, but please do not give up if we do not respond to your email straight away.   We are a Husband/Wife team and have three children.  Family commitments come first (for Bronte), and Farming/Seasonal Work come first (for Ross). 

All households have either a home telephone, or mobile phone - we strongly encourage you to use it if you don't hear from us via email.

We can be found at various markets and venues throughout the year across the Darling Downs, Queensland. 

My World .. My Life .. My Everything

Facebook..

Our Facebook page, as well as our website, is the best way to track our movements about the place.  We use Facebook to show off new designs and challenges our customers are giving us.  We do not use Facebook to advise people when their orders are done, we do not post a photo of every order online,  or shout to the world how many orders are coming in and out.  We have better things to do in our life, and respect our customers' privacy in this regard.

Stamping Process..

Yondale Designs individually and personally hand-stamps each pendant, letter by letter.   No two items will be alike due to this process. Letters may not be aligned perfectly like an engraved article, but this effect adds to the personalisation and quirkiness of hand-stamped Jewellery. Note: when ordering a stamped item, the onus is on YOU to provide the correct spelling of the names to be stamped.  Due to the personalisation of these products, items cannot be returned or exchanged. 

Due to the stamping process, only one side of the pendants can be stamped as slight scuffing occurs underneath the pendant.  The Sterling Silver washers used by Yondale Designs are thick, have a lot of substance and as such are able to be stamped on the reverse if desired. 

All tags, discs, pendants, necklaces, and fittings used on leather necklaces are made with 92.5% Sterling Silver.  All leather necklaces are made from cowhide, and lacing featured in some designs incorporates beautifully soft Red American Deer hide.  We do not offer silver plated charms or trinkets (other than the odd freshwater pearl or gemstone) with our Sterling Silver Jewellery.

Any Gold jewellery referred to herein marketed by Yondale Designs is 'gold-filled' - not gold plated, or vermeil.

Designs..

The designs shown within these pages are not limited to what you see -  any combination is possible.  Please contact us to discuss possibilities or any ideas.

'Layered' pendants are everywhere at present.  Please note with this layout and with any little trinkets hanging over the top of your pendant, surface scratching will eventually occur over time on the disc(s) underneath.

Preferences..

The lettering on stamped pendants is usually darkened (oxidised), however plain stamped pendants look pretty classy 'as is'.  Again, this is personal preference.  Lettering is not darkened on gold-filled discs but can be upon request.

Chains..

Unless stated in the item description, chains are not included in our pricing.  We have a large range of chains available for purchase to accompany our pendants. We can also make up leather necklaces to size and can offer a large range of colours.

Policies..

All orders must be pre-paid prior to commencement.  Due to the personalisation of this range of products, no refunds or exchanges are given if you decide to change your mind or are not happy with the end product upon receipt of same - once an item is stamped, it cannot be 'reused'.  If a word is misspelled, we will redo the order. 

Photographs on this website clearly display the layout of the designs.  Comments/notes when added to the description of the photo, are the expressed opinions and thoughts of Yondale Designs, and should not be solely relied on when making your choice when purchasing any products herein.

All pricing on the following pages are noted as a guideline only, and includes GST.  The price of silver continues to fluctuate.  We reserve the right to alter/increase our pricing accordingly without notice, when restocking our silver supplies.  

Postage..

All items are sent by Express Post with Australia Post and include a complimentary polishing cloth and polishing pad.

Care of Jewellery..

Silver will tarnish over time, there is no escaping this fact.  Humidity, chemicals in the air, the acidity of a person's skin, perfume, etc will all tarnish silver.  To keep your product tarnish free, keep it in an airtight plastic bag when not being worn. In all honesty though, who has time to do this?  Just use a bit of elbow grease and make use of the complimentary Polishing Cloth and polishing pad.  Please do not use a silver dip to clean your jewellery, this will strip the stamped letters of their oxidisation (if darkened).
