I use a professional quality artist's polymer clay. Once cured in the oven, it's hard, highly durable, waterproof and lightweight.

Polymer clay does not get along well with solvents or solvent-based products ( something like nail varnish remover or car oil will ruin your jewellery).

To clean the jewellery use a soft and dry cloth. If the mark is more stubborn, wash the piece in lukewarm water using a gentle detergent such as a washing-up liquid.

Do not clean with abrasive cleaning chemicals or cloths.

Do not immerse in hot water.

As with any jewellery, it needs to be cared for if you want to enjoy them for a long long time.

When finishing the piece I put my stamp on the back. Each piece will be boxed and posted in a way to ensure, as far as I can, that it arrives safely.

The item can be gift-wrapped. If you choose this option at the checkout, I will contact you to choose together a wrapping paper that is best for the occasion and to discuss about personal notes that you want to be included.

A polymer is a very general and broad term for a molecular multichain substance where the molecules are all or primarily the same element. What I use is a polyvinylchloride clay or shortly PVC clay ( I know I know, but this is to satisfy my previous chemistry degree).

This is the same material as what our water pipes or some old doll faces are made of.

And since I offer you a finished handcrafted product, not a block of clay, I am drawn to think that polymer clay, or PVC clay to say correctly, is a magical stuff. It's art. Art is art.
I love PVC clay, I can make fascinating things with it and I enjoy it!

All of my jewellery is made with love and a lot of care. The price depends on how many hours I need to think about the design, process it, actually creating it and finishing. As well the price consists of the price of the material that I needed to use and overheads.

I invest a lot in my knowledge and I am educating myself a lot in this field with lots of books, tutorials and live classes, but the price of this ones are not included in a finished jewellery's price. I am doing this for myself to improve my work and to have better results in the future.

I also know that some shipping prices are huge for some destinations, but this, unfortunately, does not depend on me.

* Is strong and resilient and has an attractive muted grey colour
* There are 2 different grades of stainless steel: type 304, the common one, and type 316 L, which contains 2-3 % Molybdenum for even more corrosion resistance
* I'm using 316L type to provide non-corrosive long wear and industrial-grade strength to my designs.
* Stainless steel will retain its shape more dutifully.
* It's resistant to rust, oxidation and discolouration.
* It's not plated and will not fade or chip over time.
* It's the best option for high-humidity locations
* It's a great alternative for wearers with allergies and sensitivity to base metals like copper and brass.
* Stainless steel may contain some nickel, but it's generally considered hypoallergenic.

I used in past sterling silver findings and I didn't like it because:
* It tarnishes in time and if not worn for a long time.
* Sterling silver contains 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper and, as a result, it oxidises and can cause irritations, allergies and sensitivities.
* It tarnishes when there are traces of chlorine and salt content in the surroundings ( pools and seaside to be avoided).
* Can bend easily
* Not very resistant to scratches.
