Our security and personal data protection systems

Teenvibrations.com purchasing process

Purchases made through our servers involve the following process: (see also our privacy policy for an explanation of personal identifiable information).

Customer registration.

Customers complete a form where their personal and payment information is entered. They create a user ID and password of their choice. Inherent in the process is sending data, done by a security system in a secure server environment under SSL protocol (Secure Socket Layer), encrypted with 128 bit encryption. A secure server environment is indicated by the customer's computer browser with a URL indicating https://,( the s represents secure means; and by a closed padlock icon in the bottom of the screen).

Cookies are used (see our policy on cookies) in order for you to access important functions of our shop and to help us enhance your shopping experience. You may configure your browser so that cookies are not accepted.

Ordering

When the customer finish choosing their items for purchase, the confirmation of the order is the next step, at this point the customer is required to provide identification (see policy on personal identifiable information). Registered customer's data is already stored in our secure servers. All transactions are conducted in a secure way.

We recommend these precautions.

• Do not share your name and password with anyone.
• Keep your name and password safe by not writing this information where it can be easily found, this includes your computer, papers you take with you in a purse or wallet notebooks, diaries. Theses are only a few  examples.
• Always check that the system is secure (https and padlock hints).

Origins

This company is inspired by the modern day gypsy of sorts; she- a world traveler in person and imagination- who, by her presence, makes an original statement of individuality in all cultures.

That's because she walks ahead of trends, a fashion-forward character; exciting and individualistic; a high thinker and dynamic; whose vibrant sense of style is best served by mixing and "unmatching".

She thrives when experimenting on her own with patterns, colors and materials. She's reality, fantasy, fairy; she's baroque, rock, elegant, classic and even a bit of a modern gothic.

Our Thanks

Our thanks to all the people who have given their time for focus groups and alerted us to individual artists and small businesses that carry limited brands, and hand-made jewelry. 

 Also our appreciation goes to the jewelry artists in the streets and shops of Frankfurt, Paris, London, Barcelona, and Buenos Aires;

 and to our contributors in the United States  for sharing their business experience and craftsmanship.

And to you...

We want to hear from you...what you like and what you don't like...what we're missing and what we could change... We'd also like to know about the discoveries you may have made in your own neighborhood.
