Privacy Policy

We will never share your personal or payment information with anyone. All credit card payments are made on a secure server and our mailing list is never shared.

I am a single person who sells things online and I value your privacy as much as I value my own. Believe me, I hate getting spam too and I know how important the issue of identity and credit card theft is to online shoppers.

How Do You Do That?

All the glass pieces we make are etched completely by hand. The designs are drawn or painted onto the glass, and then the design is carved out with a high-speed rotary tool and diamond burrs. This gives each piece a bit of personality and character.

Materials

Some glass pieces may have insignificant scratches on them. We try our best to only use those glass pieces with the least amount of scratches, but some are unavoidable.

All jewelry materials are hypo-allergenic. Etched glass pendants are soldered with lead-free solder and include silver-plated bails. They are strung on your choice of stainless steel ball chain with standard connectors, or black waxed cotton cord with silver-plated clasps. We deliberately use materials that do not cause allergic reactions.

Glass pieces (for pins, pendants and magnets) vary in size, but are between 1" and 1.5" (2.5 and 4cm) across.

Disclaimer

Keep in mind that it's difficult to photograph true colors and all computer monitors will display them differently.

The name comes from the term "bread and butter," because this is my main source of income, but I used the word "badger" because I was inspired by an article in National Geographic about honey badgers. Honey badgers are fearless creatures that will not back down from a fight, and are impervious to venom. They can kill animals many times their size and they eat bees and poisonous snakes. Quiting my job and starting my own business has been one of the hardest things I've ever done, and I am inspired by those tough little creatures that can take on so much that other animals fear.

About the Artist
