Ramona Harmes

Passed down from my mother, I am the only one in my family with a profound love for creating art. I always had a particular fascination with jewelry. Growing up I would want to wear every single piece I had at the same time to school. My grandfather who raised me along with my grandmother always said I could only wear 1 of each (ring, necklace, bracelet) to school. So I would abide but always came home with more on whether I snuck it in my book bag or traded with some kids in class. In highschool I had the opportunity to take silversmithing jewelry classes as an elective. I signed up immedately and ended up taking it for 3 years plus a college course in highschool. After highschool and no longer having access to the jewelry lab I hung it up for a while as I pursued my Bachelors in fine arts Degree in sculpture at the University of North Florida as they didnt offer jewelry but learned instead how to work with steel and learned to weld and plasma cut, etc and create large scale sculptures. While in college I decided to invest in some basic jewelry tools and picked up my jewelry journey where I left off. Thus New Era Jewels was born. I've been making custom jewelry for happy customers for 6 years. And do most of my business through Instagram with many other fellow Smith's.  

I like to create commemorative/urn pieces based off of past hardships in my life, as well as create pieces from my interests such as the 90's generation, Aliens, nature, and my love for bad weather which can be seen as inspirations for some of my work. I also use my sculpture degree background into some of my jewelry by creating one of a kind sculptural 3D wearable works of art  Check out my Instagram to see more/ to purchase any available work 

If you are interested in purchasing available work or in a custom piece shoot me a message via Instagram or my contact tab on this website. 

Payment Plans:

I offer payment plans on all my work to give better opportunity for people to invest in my work. If you see something you are interested in getting and need a payment plan feel free to reach out and I can go over specifics with you regarding that specific piece :)

If item gets lost in mail or stolen once delivered....
This has happened only once out of the 6 years I've been doing this to a client of mine. however in the event that it does, I am not liable for items after they have left my hands. But I provide tracking for all my shipments and in the very rare event this occurs I'll do what ever I can to help to resolve the issue with the post office.  

REFUNDS: i do not offer refunds on custom pieces. I allow up to 6 weeks from the date the piece is finished to pay off. If failure to pay piece off by due date, the piece and deposits are forfeit. I can offer a refund if you get an already made item and have a change of heart within 10 days from date item is recieved. Once item is back in my possession in the condition as when it left I can offer you a refund
