It will be accompanied by a card sharing the story behind the work, along with a care card to help keep it at its best. If you’d like to include a handwritten note for the recipient, simply leave your message in the “ Special request, order notes etc.” box at checkout and I’ll add it on your behalf.

I recommend picking Tracked/Registered post but Standard post is also available. To care for your jewellery, handle gently and keep it away from water and damp conditions. Store it in a dry place, avoid sharp surfaces, and occasionally refresh the wood with a small amount of linseed oil using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners, as they can damage the natural wood and other materials.
