About My Earrings

Polymer Clay
Polymer clay is a versatile, man-made modeling material made from a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic base. Its soft to work with and takes texture very easily in its raw state however once cured it resists chipping or new texture. 

Due to the handmade nature of my Polymer Clay jewellery some items may show very minor making marks, these are removed during finishing but the odd one may slip through,  these marks, if any, do not effect the functionality of the item.  

My Earring Sizing
My product description will always note the weight in grams and the width and length in millimetres or centimetres of the individual earring.  

Most of my enameled earrings are enamel on copper, if they are not, then the metal will be mentioned in the specs, all metals used in my pieces are ethically and sustainably sourced and produced in Australia.

Hooks and Stud Backs
I use Stainless Steel hooks for most polymer clay and enameled copper earrings, again if they are not stainless, then the metal will also be mentioned in the specs.

👉 Why do I use Stainless Steel ear hooks instead of Sterling Silver?

There are several reasons why I choose stainless steel earring hooks over sterling silver for Enamed Copper Earrings.

1. Hypoallergenic Properties

Stainless Steel: Often contains minimal nickel (if surgical grade) and is generally considered hypoallergenic, making it suitable for people with sensitive skin.

2. Durability

Stainless Steel: Is extremely durable, resistant to tarnish, and maintains its appearance over time with minimal care.

3. Appearance

Stainless Steel: Has a cooler, modern look with a slightly darker tone.

4. Maintenance

Stainless Steel: Virtually maintenance-free, resistant to corrosion and tarnish.

I like to make largish pieces that make a statement but I do some smaller sizes too.
