Care Guide

       Everything I create is made to accompany you through many seasons of your life. With a little care, your pieces will continue to age gracefully — gathering character, softness, and story along the way.

Below you’ll find simple, gentle rituals to honor the materials that are now yours.

Jewelry Care

     Your jewelry is crafted from raw, living materials — sterling silver, brass, gold-filled metals, and stones with their own unique needs. Each piece will shift slightly over time, responding to the way you wear it, the seasons you move through, and the rituals of your daily life.

To keep your pieces glowing:

Store your jewelry in a dry, soft place when not in use — a cloth pouch, a box, or a favorite little dish.

Avoid water, lotions, oils, and perfumes, which can dull the metal or stone over time.

Gently polish with a soft cloth when you want to restore shine.

Brass and silver may naturally develop a patina — a subtle darkening that carries warmth and story. You may keep it, or polish it away.

Remove jewelry before bathing, swimming, or sleeping to protect delicate forms and hand-shaped details.

Remember that every mark, every soft shift in tone is part of your piece’s story — an imprint of where it has been with you.

Garment Care

Your textiles are crafted from natural fibers and reworked materials chosen for their softness, longevity, and lived-in beauty. They are meant to be worn, loved, and cared for — just as they were made. Some of the fabrics used in my garment construction have already lived many lives, sometimes dating as far back as the 1800s. Ranging from delicate to robust. 

To preserve the integrity and soul of your garments:

Hand wash in cool water or use a delicate cycle with a gentle, natural detergent.

Lay flat to dry or hang in a shaded spot — sunlight can shift natural dyes and soften certain fibers over time.

Avoid harsh chemicals, heat, and over-washing; natural fabrics thrive when treated with ease.

When possible, spot clean instead of washing fully — honoring the textile and prolonging its life.

Store folded or hung with care, allowing the fabric to breathe.

These garments are not meant to remain pristine — they are meant to soften, to mold to you, to become something that feels lived-with and deeply yours.

Artists Note

Your pieces were made by hand — slowly, intentionally, imperfectly. Any small variations or irregularities are signs of human touch, reminders that your piece is one-of-one.

Care for them gently, and they will continue to care for you — grounding you, accompanying you, and becoming part of your daily ritual.
