Handling & Care
Tribu's earrings are intended to be worn in piercings that have already been stretched to the appropriate size and properly healed. We recommend that anyone wishing to stretch their piercings consult a good quality, licensed piercer for advice and assistance.
It is very important to keep piercings in a hygienic state at all times and clean them on a daily basis. Insertion of the jewellery should only be carried out after properly washing the area and the jewellery with a non-chemical soap and allowing to air dry. Tribu will not be liable for any damage or injury caused by our jewellery
To aid insertion of the jewellery a little olive, jojoba or vitamin ‘E’ oil should be applied both to the jewellery and the piercing. The piercing and the jewellery should be allowed to air dry regularly. In a small number of cases, hard woods such as rosewood and sandalwood may cause allergic reactions. Should any reaction occur we recommend you cease wearing them immediately.
Natural materials and jewellery can sometimes be sensitive to changes in
temperature and humidity, especially if they are composed of two or more
materials and should not be worn in steam baths or saunas. Some of the materials
will naturally change colour over time, but that is part of the magic of
dealing with natural materials.
