Materials Used

Many materials used in the jewellery I make are natural and as such will sometimes have minor defects or variable shapes or sizes.  This of course is part of the charm and uniqueness of the piece you buy. 

All silver components are silver plated except where explicitly stated.  All antique gold/brass/bronze components are brass based and either have an antique coloured plating or are solid brass which has been antiqued by me (this involves exposing the brass to a hot hard boiled egg for a few hours - so no nasty chemicals).

Non-Pierced Ears

I believe that people with non-pierced ears should not be denied beautiful and unique earrings to wear.  Every single pair of earrings I make can be converted to clip-ons for an extra 50p per pair.  They are essentially screw-back fittings which are also hinged, combining the comfort of screw-backs and the ease of use of clip-ons.  This allows you to adjust the fit using the screw, then just clip on and off each time you use them.  To request your earrings with these fittings, please select "Clip-ons" from the "Options" drop-down before clicking "Add To Cart".

Safety

None of the jewellery is edible and some of the amazonian seeds used can be poisonous if consumed.  As with all items with small parts, all jewellery should be kept well out of reach of children.
