All pieces are hypoallergenic, made from a custom mould and lovingly handcrafted in small batches – perfect as a gift for her or a treat for yourself.

Materials

These earrings are made with high-quality epoxy resin that is:

Non-toxic, VOC-free, vegan-friendly

Carbon neutral, with components made from recycled oil industry by-products

To finish, it’s topped with high-quality, non-toxic UV resin for added durability and excellent resistance to yellowing.

Please note: Small air bubbles may be present—this is completely natural when working with resin.

Surgical Steel (316) hooks
I use 316 surgical steel for all earring hooks — a high-grade form of stainless steel known for its strength, durability, and resistance to rust, corrosion, and tarnishing. It won’t discolour or stain your skin and requires little to no maintenance to keep it looking fresh.

Thanks to the manufacturing process, 316 surgical steel is considered hypoallergenic. Its minimal nickel content makes it an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin or metal allergies. In fact, it’s the same material commonly used in medical and surgical tools — making it safe and suitable for even the most delicate skin.

Packaging

Your jewellery will arrive on a branded jewellery card, wrapped in tissue paper and sealed in a recyclable glassine bag. I keep packaging minimal and eco-friendly—everything can be recycled. It’s perfect for gifting too!

 Earrings are dispatched in a letterbox-friendly box that fits through most UK postboxes.
