Frequently Asked Questions

Care + Storage

How do I care for my jewelry?

Due to the nature of the polymer clay, it's best to store in a dry, dark place to preserve the colors and durability.

Polymer clay is water resistant, but not submersible. Do not swim with jewelry.

To erase stains, use nail polish remover, or rubbing alcohol, and a white cloth.

DO NOT use rubbing alcohol on pieces sealed in varnish.

How do I care for items that have varnish on it?

All hand-painted pieces are protected by a water-based varnish. This seal protects the acrylic paint from rubbing off.

When cleaning varnished pieces, do not use alcohol or you will rub off the seal. Instead, use soap and water.

Our Environmental Approach

How are you diminishing your use on plastic waste?

As a small business, we strive to be as eco-friendly as possible. Our first step is by using recyclable mailers and boxes for all our shipping materials.

With our business growing, we're accumulating more and more scrap clay leftover from our products. Soon we hope to launch a line that will allow customers to buy recycled scrap clay as jewelry and décor. Stay-tuned for more details!
