Hand-sculpted pieces are created with a special blend of clay, resin, and pigment/paint.

These pieces contain no exposed metal, so they are hypo-allergenic and safe for those with sensitive skin.

Over time, some areas of protective sealant and paint may wear away (especially rings). When this happens, we are happy to offer re-painting for a nominal fee (but your first time is free!)

Sculptural pieces are highly durable, but as with any item, a gravity induced trip to the concrete may result in minor damage.

To clean, remove any dust or dirt that accumulates with soft cloth or soft toothbrush. For a deeper clean, rings may be cleaned with water and mild soap. aggressive scrubbing should be avoided so as not to damage the protective coating and paint. Dry thoroughly after every cleansing
