How do I care for my earrings?
Hot Fluff earrings are all handmade! Treat them right and they will last for years to come! I recommend taking earrings off before swimming, showering, or sleeping.
Avoid exposing earrings to direct sunlight for long periods of time. Prolonged sun exposure may cause resin items to fade in color.
Overtime fine metals can tarnish, especially in humidity. Give them a gentle polish with a rag and they'll shine up like new! Do not submerge earrings in liquid polish cleaner - I can't say how non-metal earring elements will react.
Do you have clip-on earrings?
Yes!! Other than stud styles, I can convert my earrings into clip-ons! Clip-ons are made from solid sterling silver or 14k gold fill. It's easy to adjust the tightness on the ear lobe clasp, making them a comfortable choice for anyone without piercings.
Leave a note at checkout if you want your earrings converted to clip-ons.
I have a metal allergy, do you have other ear hook options?
I do! Leave a note at checkout if you want your earrings switched to acrylic ear hooks. They're made from clear plastic and won't irritate those with a metal allergy.
What materials do you use?
All earring hooks, hoops and studs are either solid sterling silver or 14K gold fill. Gold fill wire consists of a thick layer of gold over a tiny core of brass metal. This gives gold fill wire the same attributes as solid gold at a more affordable rate. Unlike plated jewelry, it won't wear down and holds up to daily wear.
I use a variety of mixed mediums in my work to achieve wearable, life-like designs. Regular favorites are polymer clay and Total Boat Makerpoxy. I love sourcing less conventional materials to the jewelry world: expanding foam, wooden veneer, velvet flocking fiber, foil, paper. Ensuring durability is my top priority!
I make all my own molds. Checkout my instagram for more on my process!
Are your earrings lightweight?
All earrings are super lightweight. I prioritize comfort and wearability when designing earrings. Most item listings have detailed information on specific dimensions/ weight.
