*Crafting standards evolve. Just because something was approved 10 years ago does not mean it will now. While you are more than welcome to (politely) make your case for something via Amarisse, do know that if you only offer a public design from 5 years ago that is a single example of what you wish to craft, it will likely still be rejected. | |||

*Subjective statements and/or marketing materials: be careful with this. Examples of things to not do: "This wedding dress is perfect and is perfectly suited for any chapel." "The earrings are so flashy they are a great conversation starter." "No greater declaration of love could be made by any jewel than by this diamond ring..." "This hat with fake bunny ears is the most adorable thing ever." | *Subjective statements and/or marketing materials: be careful with this.

*Nothing live/moving. Plants, flowers, fur, beads, splinters of wood, so long as they are firmly dead/inanimate, are fine. A pendant with a dried flower pressed between the backing and glass is fine. A crown of twigs and blooming rosebuds is not (the twigs are fine, the roses are not). | |||
*Nothing magical or something that might be considered as such. "The rubies surrounding the diamond pulsate with a rich glow, as if it were a heartbeat." Rubies cannot pulsate on their own. | |||
