Are your woods kind to the environment?
Preserving our planet’s trees, woodlands and forests is imperative, which is why all the wood that we use comes from sustainable, responsibly managed woodlands.
We only ever use fast-growing species of trees like Birch, Maple, Cherry and Walnut, as these are the most sustainable. These woods are removed at the rate of their growth, which means that the woodlands from which they originate, will retain their supply and characters indefinitely.
How thick are your woods?
Our woods are 4mm thick.
What does each wood look like?
Our Maple wood is the lightest in colour, with a light golden appearance. Our cherry wood is next, with a slight reddish hue.
Maple and Cherry have the lightest grains and smoothest textures.
Our Walnut wood is the darkest of all of the woods and has the heaviest, deepest grain.
Please note that wood is a natural material, which means that the colour, grain, and texture of each sheet will be different from the next. This should be taken into consideration when using any of our woods.

Yes. To create more than 1 hole/loop, simply duplicate the hole/loop layer, position the holes/loops where you would like them, before merging the duplicate hole/loop layers together.
How does the second charm work?
Adding a second charm to your earrings, allows you to create more interesting designs.
