Care for and enhance your natural jewelry
What exactly is a natural piece of jewelry?
A piece of natural jewelry is one whose main material comes directly from nature.
It can be made of seeds, pits, or plant fibers, crafted by hand by artisans who respect the material and its origin.
These pieces of jewelry retain the natural look of their elements, which is what makes them so unique and authentic.

Natural jewelry appeals due to its simplicity, elegance, and direct link to nature.
Each piece is unique because every seed, pit, or fiber has its own shape and texture.

DIY: how to care for your natural jewelry
Caring for seed and pit jewelry
Seed and pit jewelry requires simple and regular maintenance.
The seeds and pits used to create the jewelry are prepared naturally before being processed: they are dried, sometimes boiled, and then drilled to allow them to be used in jewelry making.
This process prevents germination and limits risks associated with humidity.
In the Amazon, where a large part of the raw materials used for this jewelry comes from, the climate is naturally very humid.
Yet, this jewelry is made, worn, and preserved there for many years without deteriorating.
In a drier climate like France, the conditions are therefore even more favorable for their preservation.
A piece of natural seed jewelry can thus be kept for many long years, provided it is maintained regularly with simple actions that respect the material.
