Shipping, Our Policies and Product Care

Processing time |

Current processing time is approximately 3-7 business days - excluding postage. Most orders outside of restocks are being processed within 3 business days. Any orders placed at our larger restocks will take up to two weeks (10 working days) to post out - this is due to the volume of orders needing to be packed. 

If you require your pieces by a specific date please send us an email and we can advise if achievable.

Handmade Wearable Art |

All of our products are made with the utmost of care and from durable high quality materials.  When creating our pieces we use a variety of unique and complex techniques to achieve our beautiful aesthetic. So please keep in mind that like all things in life, wearable art will wear. Like cashmere, silk, precious metals, and many other materials, resin and our other unique creations  have their own characteristics and best ways to look after them. It’s important to always look after your pieces to enhance their lifespan. Please see some tips and directions below of how to look after our little wearables. 

IMPORTANT ~ Please be aware, as stated in our product listings, the image provided on each product page is a guide only. As each piece is hand poured variations in colours will be present, and each piece will have a different ratio of colours when multiple colours are used. Some pigment flecks/spots/streaks may appear in your piece also, these are not imperfections but rather just what makes them unique and are apart of the resin making process. 

Product Care | We Care Resin Care, Tassels and Jewellery Findings

To maximise your resins life and colour do not store in direct sunlight or at high temperatures. If exposed to heat and sunlight discolouration can occur. Like many other materials and fabrics the suns powerful rays can bleach them. 

Resin is strong and durable but should be treated like a ceramic as it can damage if dropped or knocked against a hard surface.

To clean, simply wipe down with a micro fibre cloth or soft damp cloth. A mild soap can be used if needed.

Acrylic mirror should be cleaned using a micro fibre cloth. Ensure no dust or grime is around that could cause scratching. 

To restore sheen to your matte finish resin jewellery, simply apply a basic moisturiser or natural oil.

To straighten tassels simply steam (a kettle is a good option) or use a small amount of water with your fingertips. Allow to dry flat or hanging.

If tassel ends over time become slightly frayed, simply use a sharp pair of scissors to ever so slightly trim the edges.

If one of your hoops seems to have come loose or misaligned use a small pair of pliers to adjust accordingly. 

If an earring post comes loose or falls off (please note popping earrings in handbags is a dangerous earring post activity) e6000 glue is our recommended product. Clean all existing glue from both the earrings and the post, and reattach post by popping glue onto the base of the earring post and pushing down gently in place on the earring surface. You will know if you’ve used enough glue if you see a 1-2mm ring of glue around the base of the earring post. 

**Note combing tassels may cause threads to fray and lose their sheen, if your threads need a tidy up, simply steam and trim the bottom edge with a pair of sharp scissors**

Jewellery Findings |

We use a variety of metals for jewellery findings. As we create costume jewellery the majority of our findings are not made from precious metals, but rather from stainless steel and coated base metals.  These metals will tarnish over time, but can be cleaned by using jewellery tarnish removal products.  Many environmental factors can affect the speed and intensity of tarnishing, storing airtight, with a tarnish prevention cloth will assist with slowing the tarnishing process.

Earring posts/hoops/findings | Our general earring posts and hoops are made from hypoallergenic surgical stainless steel. On occasions other metals may be used, the product listing pages will indicate if this is the case. 

Any questions about your pieces and how to care for them please do not hesitate to ask.

Accidents do Happen |

We understand in life accidents can happen, if you damage or break your pieces in any way please do not hesitate to contact us for advice on how to mend them or send them to our workshop for repair. All postage costs for repairs are the responsibility of the buyer. Prior to sending in your pieces into our workshop please contact us on info@concretejellyfish.co

 

TARNISHED HOOPS |

This could affect earrings sold between December 2020 and March 2020. 

Unfortunately due to circumstances out of our control we have received and used a faulty batch of earring gold stainless steel hoops. If you notice your hoops tarnishing quicker or darker than usual, please let us know via email info@concretejellyfish.co ; and we will send replacements ASAP 

Huge apologies for the inconvenience. We had used our same supplier and standard product. Some times these things are just out of our control.
