Each piece I create I strive to make it one that I would be proud to wear myself.  This began as a labor of joy and a way to express my creativity and enjoy quiet times of reflection.  I consider it an honor to be able to combine something I enjoy so much with a business effort as well.  But first and foremost - it is an enjoyable expression of creativity - and your satisfaction is very important to me.  

If you are not satisfied with your DeVer Original creation, I will happily accept returns within a 30 day time period.  You will be refunded all your money minus any original shipping costs.  

Read on to see what customers have said about their DeVer Original Creations:

Teresa - I received my ring yesterday and I am Thrilled to pieces with it. Wanted to let you know I am VERY happy and will relay your information to

anyone who asks - surely they WILL!  Thanks so much.  CK (08-08)

Hi Teresa - I received the package and I was delighted with all the items inside.  Thanks so much for your personal touch on helping me with my order for my wife.  Your help and attention to everything I requested was really appreciated.  I will be in touch again soon!  FK (07-08)

I received my lovely jewelry yesterday.   It is all very beautiful - even though the jewelry looked beautiful on the website, I was wowed even more as I held each piece and looked at your incredibly beautiful and excellent craftsmanship.  And the materials you used were fabulous, too! I praise the Lord for the great gift He has given you and for His creation and how you have highlighted it through your work in a wonderful way! : Have no doubt - He is indeed glorified through your work, Teresa!

Today I am wearing the Tiger Eye earrings and the Byzantine Link bracelet.   I thought the Tiger Eye earrings looked beautiful on the website, but when I got to see them in person and hold them, too, I appreciated them even more! I was awed by the intricate wire work you did on them. I noticed that the swirls at the tops of the earrings go two different ways - there is a "left" and "right" earring - another hallmark of excellence! Even the wire work on the backs of the earrings is beautiful and done in an excellent way! I love how your wire work highlights the stones and God's creativity! The earrings are truly examples of beauty all the way around - the stones, the wire design, and your great craftsmanship! You have a wonderful gift, Teresa, and I am so glad you use it for the Lord's glory!!! When I opened the box holding the bracelet, I was not prepared for how much more beautiful the bracelet looks in person! It looked beautiful on the website, but in person, the bracelet is stunning!!! And then when I picked it up, its substantial weight was a surprise to me and felt great! It is another truly beautiful piece, and it looks and feels wonderful on my wrist. :-)  The sun earrings are fun! :-) I love them and am looking forward to wearing them very soon! Their faces are wonderful, and I love their friendly rays/arms! :-) And they are little reminders that the sun always does shine brightly - even when filtered! :-)   The wire earrings are really neat, too! They remind me of joy! The little flourishes/circles are beautifully bound in the middle, but the joy cannot be contained and bursts out either end in the little circles! I love them!

And the cross necklace...ah, the cross! I was so excited to see it! That was the lovely surprise that you had made for me (and one for you, too)! :-) The design is wonderful and skillfull - how you bend the wires so beautifully to create such a lovely piece just blows me away. Its shape with its slightly bowed vertical piece and its overall "airy-ness" reminded me of freedom - the freedom we have in Christ from guilt and shame - we are free in Christ because of what He did for us on the cross! :-) The three crystals remind me of the Trinity and also the treasure we have in Christ. What a beautiful and skillfully-made piece! What's best yet is that it is made by a sister in Christ who loves Him and understands what I am talking about. Thank you so much for the BEAUTIFUL cross! I feel so privileged and grateful to be the recipient of such a lovely piece! I look forward to wearing it and having an opportunity to tell folks what Christ has done for me! I remember that one of the cards enclosed with the jewelry said something to the effect that jewelry is a reminder of God's love for us. When I see this jewelry, I think also of your love for God. Thank you again, Teresa, for using your God-given gift in such a wonderful way!!! Sincerely in Christ...AW (07-08)

Dear Teresa, Thank you so much for your newsletter. I received your bracelet, and it is beautiful....AH (07-08)

I bought a tri tone bracelet from you when you were at the Chicago Flower Show and I haven't taken it off since. It's gratifying to see that sweat and showers haven't eroded the finish. I also love my 2 tone necklace and wear it alone and with various pendants. God's blessings....... KP (07-08)

Got the collar in the mail today!!! It fits just about perfectly! :) Much better than anything else I've ever tried. Now I'll wear my Louisiana opal much more!  Thanks & keep up the good work....ET (05-08)

Teresa, I received the pendants. They are equally beautiful. The crystal looks great on the black cord, again thank you! And for the pouch, too. The moldavite is AWESOME. The photo does not do it justice. I was so happy to have it back, like an old friend home! They are beautiful. Maybe I'll order something again...for now my cup runnith over with jewels.... CO(04-08)

Hi Teresa!  Just to say the rhodochrosite is absolutely beautiful is an understatement.  The pictures don't even begin to show the stone's beauty. I hope you photographed it so you can put it in the artist's gallery!  I am very happy. I have a unique piece of moldavite that I thought might look good as a pendant. Should I send it to you and you can see what you think???? Thank you again....CO (04-08)

Thank you so much for all your creative designs on my behalf.  When my sister got me interested in cabs and introduced me to your website she pointed out your statement of faith. It is neat to meet a sister in Christ on the internet....DP (05-07)

I just came back from picking up my pendants at the post office. They are stunning. I am beyond pleased. I love that they are all sculpted dfferently and can't stop looking at them.

I sent my Mom the bracelet that I bought from you. I originally purchased it for her August birthday, but wanted her to have it now, so I sent it early for Mother's Day. She is in love with it! She phoned me right away and told me she had been wearing it already and showing it off to her friends. She said it could not have been more perfect. Thought you would like to know! -BB (5/10/06)

I of course tell them about you and give them your name.  Thank you so much for making and taking care of such a special treasure for me. I will wear it often and have PJ close to my heart always.
