Materials &
Authenticity
Polymer clay, our favorite medium, is a moldable type of vinyl, a versatile and pliable material that transforms into a durable, solid form when exposed to heat. It is extremely lightweight and bends before breaking, allowing for the creation of delicate designs with intricate details. Notably, it stands as a landmark for safety, being non-toxic. Furthermore, polymer clay allows us to blend or paint it with natural mica powders and alcohol inks to achieve incredible color fusions. Its incredible translucent nature enables us to replicate natural precious stones, while with other techniques applied, we can achieve various textures such as volcanic stones or even metal!
We use only high-quality 24K Gold Plated 304 & 316 Hypoallergenic Stainless Steel Blank Studs and Huggies, making them an excellent choice if you have a nickel sensitivity.

Care
Instructions
Your polymer clay wearable art pieces require delicate handling and proper care to maintain their integrity. While they are durable, they should always be treated gently to prevent breakage caused by improper use or storage. It’s crucial to never swim or shower while wearing your gems and to keep them away from perfumes, chemicals, and cleaning products like nail polish remover, acetone, or harsh cleaners, as they can damage their bright colors and shine. Take care when handling earrings to prevent accidental drops or knocks, and be mindful not to let your jewelry catch on clothing. Additionally, for safety reasons, it’s imperative to never allow children to play with, wear, or chew on your polymer clay jewelry.
Proper storage is essential for maintaining the beauty and integrity of your jewelry. Always handle and store your polymer clay pieces with care, ensuring they’re kept in a dry, dust-free environment away from direct sunlight and heat. Be mindful when handling your wearable art to prevent accidental drops or knocks. Remember, loose gems should never find their way into your handbag, pocket, or purse. Keep them safe from potential damage by storing them in a jewelry case or earring storage container, far away from items such as coins or keys.
When it comes to cleaning your polymer clay jewelry, it’s crucial to avoid using harsh chemicals or cleaning products. Remember, never use nail polish remover, acetone, or abrasive cleaners on your precious pieces, as they can cause irreversible damage. Instead, stick to gentle cleaning methods to ensure the longevity of your jewelry. If needed, softly clean your gems with a damp jewelry cleaning cloth. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered – we include one in every order for your convenience. Also, keep in mind that plated or painted jewelry components, like gold, silver, rose gold, brass, or black, may naturally tarnish over time. This is completely normal for all metals. To keep them shining bright, give them a gentle polish with a dry soft cloth whenever needed.
