Are your pieces handmade?
Our pieces are made to be worn and loved, but like all handmade jewellery, they benefit from a little care. Materials like brass and silver can naturally tarnish over time, but are easy to clean and restore. Avoid contact with water, sweat, or chemicals to keep your pieces looking their best through every adventure.
How durable is your jewellery?
Our pieces are made to be worn and loved, but like all handmade jewellery, they benefit from a little care.

Avoid contact with water, sweat, or chemicals to keep your pieces looking their best through every adventure.
Will the jewellery tarnish or change colour?
Brass, copper, and silver may naturally develop a patina or darken over time. This adds to the organic character of our pieces, but you can easily polish them back to shine with a soft cloth. Keeping your jewellery dry and storing it properly will help extend its life.
Are your materials sustainable or ethically sourced?
We’re committed to sourcing responsibly wherever possible. Many of our materials are recycled or upcycled, and we work with artisans and suppliers who prioritise ethical practices and low-waste production.
Are your materials suitable for sensitive skin?
Everyone’s skin is different. While materials like titanium and surgical steel are generally well-tolerated and considered hypoallergenic, for items made with brass or mixed metals, we recommend checking the product description or contacting us for details if you have known allergies.
What should I know about skin sensitivity and metal reactions?
Some people may experience skin sensitivity or mild reactions to certain metals used in jewellery, especially when wearing pieces for extended periods or in humid conditions. Common signs include skin discolouration (like a green or dark mark) or irritation where the jewellery touches the skin.
This is often caused by the natural reaction between your skin’s pH, sweat, and the metal—especially with materials like brass or copper. These reactions are harmless and temporary, but can be annoying.
If you have sensitive skin or metal allergies, we recommend:
- Choosing pieces made from titanium, surgical steel, or other materials known to be gentler on skin.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to water, sweat, and lotions while wearing jewellery.
- Applying a clear barrier (like nail polish) to the inner side of rings or contact points, if needed.
As everyone’s skin reacts differently, we encourage you to check the material info on each product page, or reach out—we’re happy to help guide you to the best options for your skin.
Why does some jewellery make my skin turn green or cause irritation?
This is a common reaction, especially with metals like brass or copper. When these metals interact with moisture, sweat, or the natural oils in your skin, they can oxidise and leave a green tint. It's harmless and washes off easily, but we know it can be frustrating.
If you have sensitive skin, certain metals may also cause irritation or discoloration.
Everyone’s skin reacts differently, so we always recommend checking the material details on each product before buying. If you're unsure, opting for sterling silver or stainless steel pieces may be a safer choice.
To help prevent reactions:
- Keep jewellery dry (avoid water, sweat, and lotions).
- Remove pieces before showering or exercising.
- Create a barrier by applying clear nail polish to the inside of rings or areas that touch the skin.
