I have sensitive ears. What kinds of metals are used on Anam Cara Clay jewelry?

All earring accessories are suitable for sensitive ears. We use components that are either 14K, 18K, or 24K gold plated, sterling silver, or surgical stainless steel. Larger metal components are also coated in a preserving wax the creates a hard protective coating.

Are polymer clay earrings lightweight?

Yes! They are surprisingly light and do not weigh down your earlobes. On average, polymer clay earrings typically weigh less than a quarter (between 2-4 grams). Jewelry with additional metal components will weight slightly more.

Do you use a protective coating on the jewelry pieces?

Absolutely! The long term durability of our jewelry is very important! Our clay jewelry pieces are coated with an assortment of different coatings depending on the design; a thin layer of UV resin, a polyurethane matte varnish, or a preserving wax that creates a hard protective coating. Metal components are also cleaned with an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner.

I found an item that I really wanted to order but it is no longer available! Help, what should I do?

Anam Cara Clay creates jewelry in small batches, often featuring one-of-a-kind collections. This means some items may sell out and can't be reproduced. To stay updated on new releases, follow us on Facebook and Instagram. If you have your heart set on a sold-out piece, email us at anamcaraclay@gmail.com. If the design can be replicated, we may be able to create a similar custom order.

Do you offer custom orders?

Creating custom jewelry is one of my favorite things! Whether you're seeking a unique gift, bridal jewelry, or special keepsakes, custom designs offer something truly personal. I provide one-on-one consultations to discuss your vision, with a $10 deposit for the session. Custom orders typically take 20-30 days to complete before shipping. If you're interested, please fill out the custom order inquiry form. Note that custom orders are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. For any shipping damage, contact me promptly to discuss possible repairs or replacements.

Do you offer wholesale or consignment for other businesses?

Absolutely! Pricing depends on styles and current inventory. We offer a variety of wholesale packages, with a lead time of about 6-8 weeks. Consignment orders are based on available inventory.
