-
What is Polymer Clay?Polymer clay is essentially PVC, polyvinyl chloride. It is plastic, but until it is cured, it is a very malleable plastic. It can be shaped and reshaped a multitude of times without deterioration.
-
What materials do you use in your jewelry?Our components consist of handcrafted polymer clay pieces, sometimes coated in UV resin. We also occasionally use brass or steel metal components and small silver or gold charms with cubic zirconium stones to compliment our clay components. Posts on earrings created before 2022 are stainless steel, and any created after January 2022 are now grade 1 titanium, this is noted via the materials tab on each listing. Hooks, wires, hoops, ball posts, and huggies (leverbacks) are all stainless steel, some may be gold or silver plated, this will be noted via the materials tab on each listing. All dangle styles come with a plastic comfort back, and all studs come with standard stainless steel butterfly backs. Styles on hooks come with rubber backs. Jump rings are stainless steel, sometimes coated. We are starting to introduce seed beads into our jewelry as well, these are glass beads manufactured in the Czech Republic and Japan.
-
Do your earrings contain nickel?They do not, nickel is a common material that people have allergic reactions to, so we avoid it at all costs!
-
Are your earrings hypoallergenic?For the average wearer, yes. The most common metal allergy is nickel, which we avoid at all costs! However, it is possible to be allergic to other metals, including the ones we use. Our earring posts/hooks are either titanium or stainless steel. If you need yours to be of a different material, please email us so we can get something that works for you! customerservice@kikileestudio.com
-
How can I clean my earrings?The best way to care for your new pieces! Do not leave them in a humid environment, or submerge them in water or any liquids. Clay pieces may be wiped clean with a damp cloth, a light amount of rubbing alcohol may be used if needed. Please do not use acetone on your clay pieces as it will ruin the finish! Brass/steel components can be cleaned with a standard jewelry cleaner.
-
How long do polymer clay pieces last?The short answer is, forever. Since polymer clay is a plastic, it does not break down easily. This means that as an accessory, it will last a few lifetimes for enjoyment! This also means that if you ever decide to get rid of a piece, you should do so in a proper way, such as regifting, donating to a secondhand store, or properly recycling the parts. When cured properly, polymer clay will not break easily and should hold its structure even after being bent. If you have any issues with a piece, please email us promptly at customerservice@kikileestudio.com
-
Are your stickers weatherproof?At this time we only offer stickers meant for use indoors, in journals, and away from the elements. They should hold up if a spill were to occur, but are not made to be wet for an extended period or sit in any extreme weather for an extended period of time.

How long is order processing?Starting in July 2021, we changed our ordering process to be made to order rather than ready to ship.

Processing times on average will be 1-3 business days, unless otherwise noted on a product's page. (Usually sculpted items will take longer to make.) In the event of extreme weather conditions, orders may wait to ship until it is safe to get them dropped off, whenever this may be the case, we will update you via the email provided at checkout to keep you up to date on your package's arrival!
