Celtis Sinensis Small Maple Leaf Earrings

These small maple leaf earrings are crafted from Celtis sinensis, featuring a tiger-stripe pattern characteristic of the wood. ------ Wood: Celtis sinensis Dimensions: Approximately 2 x 2 x 0.4 cm Hardware: Sterling silver ear hooks, components Finish: Tung oil ----- ※ Wood Jewelry Care & Maintenance ※ ◆ If the piece gets wet, simply pat it dry or let it air dry. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or direct sunlight, and remove the jewelry before bathing or visiting hot springs. Do not soak in water for extended periods. ◆ Please avoid leaving the jewelry in high-temperature environments or exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods (e.g., inside a car). However, a gentle stroll in the sun on a clear day is perfectly fine! ◆ Unless otherwise specified, all pieces are finished with natural coatings to preserve the wood's original color and grain, offering the most natural and eco-friendly treatment. Natural finishes may gradually fade over time; reapplication is possible if needed. ◆ This piece is finished with tung oil, a natural seed oil. If you have a history of allergies or concerns, it is recommended to consult a doctor. ◆ All dimensions are measured manually, and slight variations are to be expected. ※ Metal Hardware Care & Maintenance ※ ◆ This piece uses unplated sterling silver. When not in use, store it in a sealed bag to minimize contact with air and slow down oxidation. Sterling silver polishing cloths are included with your purchase and can be used to restore shine according to your preference (do not use on plated components). ◆ For consistently bright and tarnish-free metal components, consider pieces with sterling silver or plated hardware. ◆ If you have metal allergies or tend to sweat easily, it is advisable to test wear brass jewelry first before deciding to purchase items with brass ear studs. ------ About Wood: These pieces are crafted for normal use and wear. However, please avoid deliberately bending, twisting, or dropping them, as this can cause damage. Wood grain and color are natural characteristics, and variations may occur due to screen and camera settings. About Carving: Each piece is meticulously hand-carved and sanded by hand, without power tools. The surface may bear subtle marks from the carving process, which is an inherent characteristic of this type of handcrafted work. Please appreciate these marks as an integral part of the artwork! About Packaging: The inner packaging for shipment uses my handmade recycled paper, and may include reused cushioning materials. We invite you to join us in caring for our planet.
