HANDMADE JEWELLERY CARE
All your jewellery is handmade using brass, sterling silver (925) and real gemstone beads and cabochons, so please allow for variations in size, colour and texture. No two gemstones will ever be alike!
Your brass & sterling silver jewellery will naturally become dull upon exposure to skin oils & air. However, they can be restored to their original shine using warm soapy water and a soft brush or a standard jewellery polish. There is so much beauty in the way your pieces will transform.
Some of our jewellery is handcrafted using natural fibres such as hemp, so care should be taken when worn.
The hemp cord necklaces have been waxed for extra protection, so the residue found on beads can be easily wiped off. Please do not submerge in water. For further care, keep the cord coated using a candle or beeswax.
No two pieces are exactly the same, so your jewellery will be as unique as you!
