FAQ

How to care for your earrings?

Our earrings are made from polymer clay, a lightweight, plastic-based material. The baked clay is quite durable; however, they can break so please take care of them. DO NOT BEND earrings as they are delicate and can be damaged. Keep them stored in a cool area away from heat.

Do not shower, swim or sleep in your earrings to prevent damage and ensure the earrings last as long as possible. If they get lint or dirt on them, gently clean with a baby wipe, makeup wipe or lint-free jewelry cloth. Brass pieces can be polished with ketchup or Brasso.

Aside from clay, what materials are used in your earrings?

All Timber & Clay earrings feature either stainless steel, gold-plated or silver-plated posts, hooks or hoops. Additional hardware, such as jump rings and decorative pieces that do not go in the ear, are typically brass, wood or glass charms.

Are your earrings hypoallergenic?

All Timber & Clay earrings posts are made from either stainless steel, gold-plated or silver-plated metals. Most people with sensitive ears can wear these metals with no issues, but please know there is no guarantee they will be hypoallergenic for everyone.

Are your earrings heavy?

Our earrings are very lightweight and comfortable!
