CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Polymer clay jewellery is a beautiful and versatile medium that can be molded into a variety of shapes and colours. However, it is important to take proper care of it to ensure its longevity and durability.

Things to avoid…

Exposing your polymer clay jewellery to high temperatures or leaving it sitting in direct sunlight can cause it to become brittle and crack. Instead, store it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.
Exposing your polymer clay jewellery to harsh chemicals such as perfumes, hair spray or cleaning products can cause it to become discoloured or damaged.
Polymer clay is a slightly flexible material when cured but please do not bend or apply excessive force to your earrings as they may break if treated this way.
Polymer clay can be scratched by harder materials, such as metal. Please be careful when storing your jewellery.
Do not swim or bath wearing your polymer clay jewellery
Handle your polymer clay jewellery with care. Although it is a durable medium, it can still be damaged if dropped or mishandled.

Cleaning…

If you need to clean your jewellery, make up and other dirt can be removed from the clay components using a baby wipe or a soft damp cloth and mild soap. For very stubborn marks on clay components (no glitter or foil) you may also carefully use a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol.
Metal components can be cleaned using a polishing cloth.

By following these simple care instructions, you can ensure that your polymer clay jewellery remains beautiful and wearable for years to come.

**IMPORTANT SAFETY ALERT**

Keep your jewellery out of reach of children. Do not under any circumstances allow them to play with, wear or use it as a teething toy, as the item could break and pose a choking hazard. Please ensure that children are never left unattended near your jewellery, as some components are small and could lead to a life-threatening choking incident.
