Materials, Care & Sizing
Caring for your jewellery
To make sure your pieces stay with you for a long time, please do not get them excessively wet ( i.e. do not wear while swimming or doing the washing up), keep away from perfume, alcohol or any other harsh chemicals, as they might harm your piece.
You can very (!) gently clean your piece with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
Balsa Wood
The Balsa wood is a very soft wood and is carved by hand. It will harden with the many layers of coatings, but that doesn’t make it indestructible so if possible avoid strong impacts to your piece.
Oxidized Silver
The Silver is oxidized with liver of sulfur and will lighten over time. These changes are normal and I’d love for you to embrace these changes as your unique jewellery piece lives with you.
Shibuichi
Shibuichi is a japanese alloy that usually consists of 25% percent silver and 75% copper. Due to the high copper content the surface of the metal is likely to change over time. To slow down this process the shibuichi pieces are treated with a protective coat. However, I’d love for you to embrace these changes as your unique jewellery piece lives with you.
Size Guide
Necklace lengths
The illustration below shows the approximate position of different chain lengths when worn. The position may vary depending on your body type and height. The best way to figure out the right length for you is to measure it with a piece of string.
Ring Sizes
This overview shows the most common ring sizes. Most of the rings in my shop are unique pieces, however if you want one in a different size I can make another piece in a similar style. If this is the case, please get in touch with me first and we can work out the details together.
If you don’t know your ring size, you can determine it yourself with the help of my ring size template. Simply press the download button, print out the template, cut it out and determine your ring size.
