WOOD YOU RATHER: Untreated Curly Maple wood is a light creamy white wood with a natural wavy or "curly" pattern in the background. This pattern gives it a natural shimmer that almost looks iridescent or three-dimensional in some lights (even though the pattern itself is flat). As the wood is solid and natural and not a veneer or particle board, there will be natural variation in tone and grain for each pair of earrings. They are truly one of a kind!

TAKE CARE: Wood can absorb water and warp or swell. Do not wear natural wood earrings in the shower, bath, swimming pool, etc.

DO I SMELL SMOKE? : Because our items are crafted using a burning technique, they may arrive with a faint smoky scent similar to the smell lingering on clothing after a campfire. If you notice this aroma when opening your package, rest assured it will dissipate soon.

SUSTAINABILITY: We make every effort to use sustainable methods and materials in both the production and shipping of products. Also, a portion of every sale goes toward environmental projects. You can read more on our Sustainability page.

ALLERGIES: Untreated wood does not have stains or sealants added to it, making it suitable for many people with chemical sensitivities. Sterling silver is an alloy made of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper or zinc. I cannot make any guarantees as to the exact metal used in a particular sterling silver finding. My cat has occasional access to the workshop where the earrings are made, but rarely takes advantages of it. All efforts are made to keep earrings and packing materials free of any cat-related allergens, but since the workshop is not physically separate from my home I cannot guarantee that the packaging will be 100% allergen-free.
