I work with a variety of materials, primarily stainless steel, zinc alloy, and silver-plated brass. However, starting in 2025, i'll gradually progress towards using mostly 100% stainless steel for the metals in my jewelry. Additionally, i incorporate natural and synthetic stones, glass, acrylic, and ethically sourced taxidermy pieces. Each listing includes a detailed description of the materials used — please review it carefully, especially if you have sensitivities to certain metals.

Stainless Steel:

— Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners, as they can cause scratches or dullness.

— Clean with mild soap and water. For tougher spots, use a soft-bristle toothbrush.

Silver-Plated Brass:

— Avoid exposing to water, lotions, perfumes, hairsprays, or cleaning agents, as these can degrade the plating. Also, avoid storing it loosely with other pieces to prevent scratches.

— Gently clean with a soft, dry polishing cloth. If it becomes particularly dirty, use a soft-bristle toothbrush with mild soap and water. Be sure to avoid rubbing too hard, and always dry thoroughly after cleaning.

Zinc Alloy:

— Avoid prolonged exposure to water or humidity, and keep away from harsh chemicals and acidic substances to prevent tarnishing and corrosion.

— If a soft dry cloth isn't enough, gently clean with mild soap, water, and a soft-bristle toothbrush. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.

Quick Tips:

— Simple jewelry boxes are ideal for keeping your pieces protected from air and preventing tarnishing.

— Wipe your pieces with a soft microfiber or lint-free cloth after every use.

Earrings:
I offer five different lock types, all made from stainless steel and suitable for standard pierced ears. For stretched ears, you can choose from leverbacks, clickers, or hoops based on your preferences and the required inner diameter. A photo of each lock type is included in the earring listings for your reference.

Necklaces:
The default length of each necklace is specified in the listing descriptions. You can also choose to add an extension or request the necklace without one, depending on your preference.
