http://laughing-sisters.smugmug.com/Other/ Laughing-Sisters began with just a glimmer of an idea in 2000. Seems owner Pat Jones could not find a pair of earrings she had been searching for, and so she decided to make them herself. The rest, as they say, is history! That initial venture into earrings blossomed into a full-fledged love of all types of beads and jewelry, and soon sisters Sue, Linda and Donna were helping out. Currently Pat designs all of Laughing-Sisters jewelry pieces, while sisters Susie, Linda and Donna (and Donna’s daughter – Lauren – who brings her mother’s laugh with her whenever she is along for the ride) sometimes help out at shows. Each and every piece of jewelry offered by Laughing-Sisters is Pat's own original design, and none of the designs are duplicated, so each piece is truly one-of-a-kind. I use only the finest materials in my designs, from Mother Nature's finest semi-precious gemstones, and the exceptional handcrafted lampwork and dichroic glass beads to all of the many beautiful colors that make up the Swarovski crystal pallet; from the intricate silver and gold vermeil pieces to the shimmering beauty of freshwater pearls; and from the bold to the sublime. I blend these disparate pieces together to create dramatic pieces of jewelry art. Finally, I offer our customers a <b>SIZING GUARANTEE</b>. If the piece does not fit the wearer, it can be returned to Laughing-Sisters. I will lengthen or shorten the piece as appropriate, always honoring design integrity, and return the piece (usually within 1 business day), at the same time refunding the shipping charges paid by the customer.
