WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN UPCYCLING AND RECYCLING?
Upcycling is an art form that reuses discarded objects or materials in their current state, in such a way as to create a product of higher quality or value than the original.
Recycling involves the destruction of waste in order to create something new (ex: collecting newspapers, transforming them into pulp to then transform that pulp into paper napkins).

WHAT IF I HAVE ALLERGIES?
The guitar and other strings used in my creations are made of bronze, brass, steel, nickel, and other metals. Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee which specific metals will be in your creations, due to the repurposed nature of the stings.
WILL THE BRACELETS PULL MY ARM HAIR?
Contrary to popular beliefs, guitar strings, electric bass guitar strings, piano strings, etc. DO NOT pull on your arm hairs. They make great bracelets!
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
We recommend keeping your jewelry dry. Avoid allowing it to be wet for an extended amount of time. If your jewelry does get wet, dry it off immediately.
Also, try to avoid exposure to lotion or perfumes.
It is recommended that you store your jewelry in a sealed container with a few grains of rice to avoid tarnish and rust. As needed, you may also buff your silver coloured jewelry with a silver cleaning cloth.
With proper care your jewelry should last for years!
