1. All my jewelry is made from 316 stainless steel unless listed otherwise. I work with fine silver, bronze, and aluminum occasionally as well.

​

2. Stainless steel is water resistant but not water *proof*. Most of my pieces can be worn in the shower but are not meant to be submerged for long periods or be taken into salt water. Stainless steel is strong and can withstand a lot, but it is not meant to be impervious under every condition.

If you have a piece with stones or an antique key, do not get it wet. Keys rust and many crystals get weaker under water. 

​

3. My collar designs are meant to be tugged on! No need to be gentle with them. My beaded pieces, although also made from stainless steel, are weaker and are likely to break if you try. Please treat them kindly!
