Characteristics of my handmade jewellery
Please note that due to the handmade nature of my pieces, they may feature slight imperfections and inconsistencies. These in no way affect the functionality of the pieces – I believe they add to their character! I only list items I would be happy to wear myself.
Colours
Please note that due to variations in some computer/phone screens and monitors, there may be slight variations in colour. Every attempt has been made to represent the product and colours as accurately as possible.
Care instructions
Most polymer clay pieces, especially the longer/thinner components, are fragile – please do not bend or drop them! Please keep your pieces dry. Note that trinket dishes are not food safe and should not be immersed in water. All pieces can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
Resin is durable like polymer clay, but can be damaged if dropped or knocked against a hard surface.
To clean resin pieces, wipe down with a soft damp cloth.
To maximise the life of the resin and colour do not store in direct sunlight or at high temperatures. If exposed to heat and sunlight slight discolouration may occur. Pigments may also fade over time. Avoid exposure to alcohols, in particular perfumes. They can react to the resin and affect the finish.
