See my Substitution Policies for Necklaces (including Pendants) and Earrings if you are allergic or just wish to have a different metal.
For most requests of substitutions, I don't charge extra. If it is an upgrade to a finer metal, then there may be an extra charge. I will work with you to find a substitution that is satisfactory to you before sending out the order. Feel free to contact me first before ordering.
