The Golden Rules of Clay Care
The "Last On, First Off" Rule: Always put your jewelry on after applying hairspray, perfume, lotion, or makeup. The chemicals in these products can interact with the clay or its protective glaze, causing discoloration or dullness.
Keep it Dry: While polymer clay itself is water-resistant, it isn't waterproof. Remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, or working out. Prolonged water exposure can weaken the jewelry glue or tarnish the metal findings.
Handle with Love: Polymer clay has a natural flexibility to it, but please don't test its limits! Bending, twisting, or dropping your earrings can cause them to snap or weaken over time.
Store Safely: When you aren't rocking your pieces, store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. A jewelry pouch, box, or a dedicated hanging rack is perfect. Avoid tossing them into a cluttered bag where keys or other hard objects can scratch the surface.

Keep the cloth away from the clay itself.✨ A Quick Note on Handcrafted Art: Because every piece is mixed, sculpted, and baked by hand, slight variations or tiny unique textures may occur. This isn't a defect—it’s the beautiful fingerprint of handmade wearable art!
