Many of our pieces are made from raw brass. Brass can darken over time, but the good news is it's easy to polish back to looking new. A jewelry polishing cloth works great, and there are lots of simple DIY tricks for brightening up brass too.

Our stainless steel and gold-tone PVD stainless steel pieces are a different story. Stainless steel naturally resists tarnish and rust, so it keeps its shine with everyday wear. PVD is a thin gold-tone finish that's bonded to the stainless steel, which makes it much more durable than traditional plating. To keep them looking their best, take them off before swimming or showering and keep them away from lotions and perfume.

Our silver-tone ear wires are stainless steel. Gold-tone ear wires are PVD stainless steel or 18k gold-plated brass, depending on what we have on hand. Each product page lists the materials for that style. So many customers with sensitive ears tell us these are the earrings they can actually wear.

At this time we are doing final sale on all jewelry. If an item comes broken, let us know and we can send out a new item. If you are local to MN and want to stop by any market we are at, you ARE able to complete a return or exchange!

Polymer clay is lightweight and durable, but it isn't indestructible. Store your earrings flat or hanging so they don't bend, keep them away from water, perfume, and lotions, and wipe them gently with a soft cloth if they need a clean.
