Things to know and how to care for your resin keepsakes & jewellery

  • Resin Care

    The casting and finishing technique has been perfected over the years to ensure the resin surface has a high shine. The resin is durable, waterproof and hard-wearing, however care needs to be taken when cleaning. Please follow the advice below to ensure your resin keepsakes can be admired for years to come.

  • Jewellery Care

    All metals can tarnish over time, to ensure this does not happen to your Wootique Jewellery, please follow the below advice. Jewellery cleaning clothes can be purchased in the store if required.

Stuff you need to know

 

  • All flowers are hand-dried, due to the nature of this process on occasion some flowers cannot be preserved. For example, varieties of succulents or berries will not keep their colour and plumpness. Therefore these may not be included in your commission.

    Flowers may change or darken throughout the process with varying results such as:

    -White/pale flowers may take on a creamy/yellowy colour
    -Pink flowers may change to magenta
    -Red flowers may turn dark claret
    -Pale pink/lilac flowers may darken

    Pale and white flowers also have a tendency to become translucent when submerged in the resin and this may be seen in the finished piece.

  • All pieces are handmade with eco-friendly bioresin and are therefore one of a kind (ooak). As the flowers release oxygen during the curing process, tiny bubbles may appear, this is completely normal and looks pretty cute.

  • Each stage of the creation process is carried out entirely by hand. This means every piece will be unique and not have a manufactured finish, however this only adds to the character and charm!
