Care instructions: VERSO jewelry is designed to last for years to come with the proper care, Though it is made of paper, every piece is heavily sealing with resin and is fully waterproof. Any exposed metal can be polished with a jewelry polish cloth. The handmade paper components are coated with a resin shell, which both protects the metal from the air and hardens the paper fibers. Rise the resin in water and dry with a soft cloth is cleaning is necessary. Melanie Brauner - Everett WAVERSO jewelry is made from metal forms cast in handmade paper. The metal is dipped into a pulp of water and finely beaten paper fibers from a plant called abaca. The fibers cling to the metal and shrink as they dry. A tight, translucent paper skin is built up on the form over successive dips. The concept is the same as making a sheet of handmade paper, but around a three-dimensional form, and by the building up then layers over the course of several days. The paper-skinned forms are hand-dyed, and finally sealed with a resin shell to make them waterproof and durable.
