Care & Repair
All pieces are handcrafted by us on our home studio in the French Alps. We put a lot of energy and love into our work. Tagua has a delicate nature. It can show little imperfections after cut or polishing like slightly colors variations and tiny marks- which we manage to avoid improving our polishing methods. The eventual inconsistencies that can occur in no way affect the functionality or overall aesthetic appeal of the pieces. It's the nature of handmade and the guarantee you are acquiring a truly unique piece.
Store your earrings away from other metal jewelry to avoid scratching. Handle your jewelry carefully. Don't press the tagua when putting/removing the earrings. Gently turn the silicon butterfly away from/into the backs.
Makeup or other dirt can be removed from tagua by using cotton and alcohol or water. Be careful to not remove the shades and colors. Rub the cotton gently over the spots.
Let the earrings laying flat when not in use.
All pieces are unique, hand shaped. We use natural leather cording and Titanium (nickel free) earrings pads and silver-filled jump rings from a single mine origin, meeting strict ethical, environmental and health and safety standards.
Maimara is following EU directions that regulates the use of nickel in jewelry.
