Bought these for my significant other and she simply loved them. Not only did I love how well made these are, but also loved how kind and communicative the seller was. Messaged them to ask about a custom order, and they were more than willing to help me. They arrived super quickly, I was actually quick surprised how soon they arrived. They also arrived in a compostable shipping package so that was a nice touch.

Can I add gift wrap?
How do I care for my wooden jewelry?
Due to the handmade nature of my wooden jewelry, store in a safe place, avoid rough handling, and avoid exposure to water. If your jewelry becomes dirty, you can gently wipe clean with a microfiber cloth. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight to keep your jewelry looking its absolute best.
What kind of wood do you use?
All items are made with high-quality, American-sourced cherry wood. Cherry is sustainable, lightweight, and strong, making it ideal for jewelry.
The wood tone and grain may vary from the photograph due to natural (and desirable!) variations in the wood.
Cherry's smooth grain makes it perfect for laser-etching and painting. Natural cherry tone will gradually darken when exposed to light, adding a beautiful touch over time.
How do you seal the paint?
All paint is sealed with a non-toxic, oil-based enamel which protects the paint from fading and chipping. The varnish has a slightly shiny satin finish which makes the colors more vibrant. The backs are unfinished cherry wood with a beautiful warm grain.
Will my jewelry look exactly like the pictures?
Each piece of jewelry is painted by hand so no two are exactly alike. I try to photograph and color-correct so that each piece represented as true-to-life as possible. Please allow for small variations in color and tiny imperfections which are a sign of any hand-made item and make each piece one-of-a-kind.
