Some of our inventory is RTS (Ready to ship) items while others are made to order. By booking a free consultation we can also customize some of our inventory for you. Each item that we sell is uniquely hand crafted. We try our best to recreate certain pieces, but no two items are identical. We ask that you take that into consideration when ordering.
Most of our items are created by using resin. Resin items can often take multiple pours before they are complete. Once cured, the pieces are removed from the mold and carefully sanded and polished by using various grades of sandpaper and polishing tools. Most metals we use are nickel-free, made of stainless steel, or sterling silver. If you have a preference feel free to contact us before placing an order.
Avoid storing your piece of jewelry next to a strong heat source or in direct sunlight. This may cause fading over time. resin is strong, durable, and waterproof. However, it is recommended not to wear the items in the shower or swimming pool, and refrain from spraying perfume or other alcohol-based products near or on the piece, to preserve its original condition.
A soft cloth can be used to buff the piece and bring out its original shine. It is advised to do this after each use, to prevent natural body oils or lotions from damaging the surface of the resin, and to keep the piece in best possible condition. The surface is liable to scratch in cases of extreme misuse.
All earrings and pendants have their posts/bails secured with a layer of resin to ensure they will not break away from the base. It is advisable not to tug harshly on chains or bails. Each item should be treated with love and care to ensure its longevity. It is the customers responsibility to care for their items appropriately.
If purchasing an item for a child, we recommend that they are old enough to know not to put the item in their mouth.
