FAQ

​When can I expect my order to be shipped?

Most of the items available for purchase on my site are made to order however, I can usually ship within a 2-3 days of receiving the order. 

​Do you gift wrap?

My jewelry is shipped in a box with a bow.

Returns & Refunds

If for any reason you or the receiver of your purchase, is not happy with my work, I will happily take it back for a refund or exchange with no questions asked.  I prefer to do so within 30 days of purchase but I am flexible especially for my customers who plan for anniversaries well over a month in advance.  Just reach out with your concerns.  If there is an adjustment that can be made such as altering the length of a necklace or exchanging it for something else, I am happy to accomodate.  My goal is that you are happy.  I love my customers and value your support even if that means you return a purchase.  

It's iron... Can it rust?

Iron needs to be exposed to water and/or intense humidity over time in order to rust. All of my iron elements are protected with a clear finish that ensures the longevity of the material.  With that said, if the jewelry is left in a wet environment, it would eventually rust.  For this reason, it would be good to keep the jewelry in a jewelry box when not in use.  If it does get wet I would advise drying it off with a towel and heating it up slightly with a hair dryer or wear it so that the body temperature can help evaporate any water caught in a fold.  If taken care of it can last for many many years.  I have pieces I still wear that are 25 years old with no sign of wear and tear.  If for some reason, the finish is damaged, I am happy to refinish it for my customers if it is sent back to me.  This has only happened once in 25 years after a necklace stayed underwater for weeks during the floods of Hurricane Katrina.

Hand forged iron jewelry by Louisiana artist, Nancy C. Perilloux

At Nancy Fe Designs, each piece of jewelry begins at the forge. Iron is shaped by hand using traditional blacksmithing tools and techniques, then thoughtfully combined with complementary metals, semi-precious stones, and pearls to create one-of-a-kind artisan pieces.

Iron has long symbolized strength, resilience, and enduring connection.  It found its way onto the traditional anniversary gift list decades ago as the gift given to commemorate the 6th anniversary. Many of my designs cater to this important event because I incorporate other details such as the traditional 6th anniversary stone which is amethyst and the traditional flower for the 6th anniversary, the Calla Lily.  

 

Each design honors the tradition while offering something truly personal: no two pieces are ever exactly alike.

Beyond its symbolism, many are drawn to the natural character of the materials themselves. The stones and elements used in each piece are selected not only for their beauty, but also for the qualities they have been associated with across cultures and traditions.

 

Whether chosen for meaning, aesthetic, or both, each piece is designed to feel intentional and lasting.

 

This is jewelry for those who appreciate craftsmanship, authenticity, and story—pieces that feel grounded, distinctive, and quietly powerful.

In addition to jewelry, I also create landscape paintings inspired by a deep connection to nature, texture, and atmosphere such as the way light dances on water. These works are available in a separate gallery coming soon for collectors interested in bringing that same sense of depth and artistry into their spaces.
