Frequently Asked Questions

† What color will my beads be?

Your beads will be the color of the flower that you send. That being said, a fresh red rose will create a more vibrant red bead than a red rose that has dried and has turned deeper in color.  Each is beautiful, but you will notice a slight variation in the color that each flower produces.  

† What is the best way to prepare my flowers for shipment and where do I ship them?

The best way to prepare fresh flowers for shipment is to:

  • Cut stem to three inches in length
  • Wrap each flower individually in paper towel
  • Place in a small box, being careful not to over crowd
  • Never place flowers in plastic bag or plastic lined envelopes 

If your flowers have started the drying process, please follow the instructions as if they were fresh. (There are no special instructions for sending flowers that are completely dry.)

Reflection Petals~  3 Blueberry Lane~  Westford Mass. 01886

† How many flowers do I need to send?

To make a full set of rosaries from flowers, 2 full size roses are needed. If you are using another type of flower keep in mind the quantity of petals in a rose. All other items require the equivalent petals of 1 rose.

† What do you do with my flowers?

When receiving flowers that are fresh, they immediately go through a drying process. This will help maintain their original color. This can take up to a week. Once they are dry the petals are then ground into a very fine powder and mixed with a product that allows me to hand roll the beads. You will be able to see the beauty of your flower petals throughout the beads. (When the petals are received already dry they can be used immediately.)

† Can I deliver my flowers to your shop?

Absolutely!!!  My "shop" however is my home.  If you live in the area please feel free to call and schedule an appointment to stop by.  Appointments are always welcomed and do my best to accommodate your busy schedule.

† Is there any special care required for my items?

          In honoring your personals reflections, great care has been taken to ensure the highest quality and durability of all our products. However, it is recommended that you treat each piece like fine jewelry. Remove before going in water and be careful when using lotions and perfumes.

† How long will it take to complete my order?

The length of time that it takes to complete an order depends mostly on the amount of orders we have outstanding. Currently our lead time is approximately 3 weeks.
