MATERIALS about Polymer Clay Earrings
- What materials do you use in your polymer clay earrings?
Our polymer clay earrings are crafted with two types of back posts to ensure both comfort and style.
We offer Titanium posts, which are ideal for individuals with nickel allergies. These lightweight and durable posts are perfect for sensitive ears, allowing you to enjoy your favourite jewelry worry-free. If you have sensitive skin, we recommend choosing Titanium.
Additionally, we use 316L surgical stainless steel posts. This medical-grade metal is hypoallergenic and exceptionally durable, resistant to scratches, rust, and tarnishing with minimal upkeep. A simple wipe with mild soap and water will keep them looking their best.
- Are your earrings safe for sensitive ears?
Absolutely! Our Titanium and 316L surgical stainless steel posts are hypoallergenic, providing a comfortable wearing experience.
Titanium posts are specifically nickel-free, making them an excellent choice for those with nickel allergies. Many customers who typically experience reactions to other materials have worn our earrings without any issues.
If you have sensitive skin, we recommend opting for Titanium posts.
However, please note that there are many types of metal sensitivities, and each individual's allergy sensitivity is unique.
- Can I request a specific YUKINHA style with Titanium posts?
Yes, you can! If you'd like a particular style made with Titanium back posts, please don't hesitate to contact us. We'll do our best to accommodate your request.

MATERIALS about Freshwater Pearl & Gemstone Earrings
- About Freshwater Pearl & Gemstone Jewelry
Our jewelry is crafted from genuine freshwater pearls, gemstones, and 14K gold-filled components and chains. Since freshwater pearls and gemstones are natural materials, each piece may vary in colour, tone, lustre, shape, and size. This uniqueness ensures that every pearl and gemstone jewelry item is one-of-a-kind, just like you.
- What is Gold-Filled?
Gold-filled refers to a high-quality American metal manufacturing process which is legally recognized. It consists of two sheets of solid karat gold bonded over a core of brass. For a jewelry piece to be stamped with the 'GF' marking, at least 1/20th of its weight must be gold. You may see stamps like "1/20 14K GF," indicating that 5% of the item is 14 karat gold.
Gold-filled jewelry has a surface layer that is approximately 100 times thicker than traditional plating, allowing it to last significantly longer. As a result, these pieces are often referred to as 'lifetime jewelry.'
- Can Someone Be Allergic to Gold-Filled Jewelry?
All our 14K gold-filled components and chains are nickel-free, cadmium-free, and hypoallergenic, making them an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin. While it is highly unlikely to cause an allergic reaction, it's important to note that metal sensitivities can vary from person to person, and individual reactions may differ.
