What are polymer clay earrings?

Polymer clay earrings are lightweight, handmade accessories created from durable polymer clay that is baked to harden. Each pair is carefully designed, shaped, and finished by hand, making every piece unique!

How should I care for and clean my polymer clay earrings?

To keep your earrings looking their best:

• Gently wipe them with a soft, damp cloth or baby wipe if they become dirty. As a last resort you can use 100% acetone on just the back of your earrings. Then wipe with water. 

• Avoid soaking them in water or using harsh cleaners

• Remove earrings before swimming, showering, or exercising

• Store them in a dry place away from direct sunlight

With proper care, your earrings will stay beautiful for a long time.

Are polymer clay earrings durable?

Yes! Polymer clay is flexible and strong once baked. While they can withstand everyday wear, we recommend handling them with care and avoiding bending or dropping them on hard surfaces.

When traveling, it is recommended to use a jewelry box to protect them. 

What metals are used for the earring posts and hooks?

We use high-quality metals designed for comfort and durability. Options typically include:

• 304 stainless steel

• Gold-plated or silver-plated findings

• Gold filled hoops
  

All metal is hypoallergenic and nickel free. If you have metal sensitivities, feel free to reach out before ordering.

Are your earrings hypoallergenic?

All of our earrings use hypoallergenic posts, such as stainless steel. However, sensitivities can vary, so please check individual listings or contact us if you have specific concerns.

Do you offer custom or personalized orders?

Yes! We love creating custom pieces. Custom orders may include specific colors, shapes, sizes, or styles. Simply contact us with your idea at bittersweetclaydesigns@gmail.com, and we’ll work with you to bring it to life. Please note that custom orders may require additional time and are typically non-refundable.

How long do custom orders take?

Custom orders usually take 1–2 weeks to create, depending on the design and current order volume. We’ll provide a timeline once the details are finalized.

Will my earrings look exactly like the photos?

Because each pair is handmade, slight variations in color, texture, and pattern are normal and part of the charm of polymer clay earrings. No two pairs are exactly alike.
