Safety information
Caring for your jewellery: To keep your silver, copper and brass jewellery from oxidising (going very dark) don’t allow your jewellery to come into contact with cleaning products, chlorinated water, perfumes or lotions. Give the metal jewellery a regular buff with a jewellery polishing cloth to maintain shine or use an old toothbrush and some silver polishing cream then buff (protect your sea-glass from the cream by covering it with masking tape). To revive the vibrancy and translucence of your sea-glass, simply apply a miniscule smidge of baby oil onto the glass with a lint-free cloth (this will not tarnish your metal) then wipe away any excess. Your dyed aluminium jewellery will not need any additional care, but to maintain the vibrancy of the colour, simply store it out of direct sunlight. If your item has a silk or waxed cotton cord, it will come already coated with a protective coat of non-toxic micro-crystalline wax to keep it clean.

Full description
A pair of lightweight earrings in mottled beige and light caramel colours, these beach-plastic 'pebbles' were collected from the tide line of a Devon beach, buffeted to shape by the action of the sea against the shore, cleaned and sealed in micro-crystalline wax. I picked them up along with other plastics (which went into the recycling bin) removing them from the process of further creating harmful micro-plastics, their shape, density and colour suggesting that they were once HDPE mooring buoys or floats. I have engraved them with textures similar to those which I found interesting on the pebbles of a Devon beach and echo the subtle colours found in pebbles I have seen and sketched on the Isles of Scilly. The pebble shape is further expressed in the copper outlines which top each earring and which have been textured and fire treated to bring out the colour in the metals. They hang on my handmade sterling silver wires.
Your jewellery is presented in a little drawstring bag, wrapped in tissue and delivered in a box with care instructions and my own imagery, sent via Royal Mail tracked 48hr service (UK).
Packaging: Paper and card packaging is made from sustainable source recycled pulp fibres. Little drawstring bags are sustainable source recycled Fair Trade Cotton. Mailing bags are made from cornstarch, not plastic! All packaging is home-compostable and recyclable. I have a zero-waste approach to chemicals and processes in my workshop, which are always re-balanced, topped up and re-used.
