Frequently Asked Questions

All our Aquasei items are handmade by myself, Ilaria, in the UK. The fittings and charms are soourced from suppliers all over the world. The making of the jewellery is both a creative and lengthy process -- the polymer clay shapes are handcrafted in my studio with different types of clay; inks, paint, glitter, transfer sheets, and foil can be added depending on the technique used and desired effect. The clay is then worked, shaped, baked, sanded and glossed before it is set with fittings and/or charms.

The key part of our jewellery items is made by myself with a mix of polymer clay. Alcohol inks, paint, glitter, mica powder, transfer sheets and resin can also be used in these shapes. Fittings and charms are outsourced from suppliers all over the world. We aim to use hypoallergenic materials as much as possible, and most of our fittings are made of stainless steel, silver or gold plated. Please read the item description for more information on materials used. N.B.: Please be aware that we cannot be held responsible for allergic or sensitive skin reactions, do not purchase when in doubt.

We ship to the UK and internationally, with the exception of Europe. Please get in touch with me via email (aquasei2024@gmail.com) if your country is not in the EU but you cannot find it in the shipping menu. Unfortunately, due to a change in post Brexit regulations, sales to the EU are restricted, which has a particularly negative impact on small businesses. We hope to be able to expand our delivery options in the future. Please note that tax and custom charges are the buyer's responsibility.

Here are some tips to take care of your polymer clay jewellery: - avoid direct contact with perfumes, creams, chemicals; - pay attention when you remove or put on studs as these may be delicate; - do not wear when you swim or shower; - do not sleep with your jewellery on; - avoid leaving your jewellery items in bags and pockets, and instead store it safely in a box or in a secure place. If needed, wipe gently with a damp cloth to remove dirt.
