ABOUT OUR JEWELRY

 Our Materials

We use epoxy resin, approved plastics, chain, beads and jewelry glue. Every single item is 100% handmade in our studio which means some slight imperfections are to be expected. Each item is one of a kind because it is impossible to exactly duplicate anything made of resin. Epoxy Resin is UV sensitive. We use ONLY the highest quality resin with UV protection but they may still yellow over time with sun exposure. It is best to keep out of direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time. The resin we use cures hard and is scratch resistant but no resin is scratch proof. Avoid the use of chemicals or abrasive cleaners, mild soap and warm water are recommended. To remove dust from textured areas, use a microfiber duster or compressed air.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

What to Avoid

UV Rays
Avoid storing any piece in direct sunlight. While our pieces are made with a high-grade jewelry resin with UV resistant properties, it still has the potential to yellow when exposed long-term to the sun’s light or heat. This is not to say your piece cannot be worn outside, just do not let it sit for prolonged periods of time in direct light.
Extreme Heat

High heat is the best way to quickly damage resin.

Sharp or Abrasive Objects

Sharp and abrasive items can scratch the resin; this includes any metal that comes into contact with the setting, including keys or other rings. We recommend removing any jewelry before doing house or garden work or cleaning as contact with stones, sand, metal sponges, or brushes can scratch the resin’s surface.
Fragrances & Harsh Chemicals
The chemicals present in things like lotions, perfumes, shampoos, and soaps can cause the jewelry to become dull or discolored. We recommend using these items before putting the jewelry on or after taking it off, not while it is being worn. Exercise an extra amount of caution around the more aggressive chemicals: cigarette smoke, cleaning agents, and alcohol-based products such as acetone (nail polish remover) or perfume.   

CLEANING & STORAGE

Cleaning 
To clean or lightly polish your new piece without damaging it, you may use water and a mild soap, but a little goes a very long way with soap so make sure to limit its use and ensure that the piece is thoroughly rinsed before wearing it again. 
Storage
You can store your jewelry in anything from a small bag to a jewelry box if whatever container you choose is airtight and stored in a cool, dark and dry area. We suggest removing your resin jewelry when you shower, sleep and clean. 

We use the highest-grade materials for both the casting of the jewelry and creation of each individual piece. While the utmost care is taken to avoid discoloration, scratching, and tarnishing, once the jewelry is in your hands, it’s up to you to see to its care. Please feel free to wear your jewelry every day.
