Care

We recommend our Radiance Wash or Radiance Towelettes if you're on the go, both created by Shinery. It is a non-toxic formula made with plant-derived surfactants that surround and trap dirt, oil, beauty buildup and other residues from your jewelry and wash them away, leaving you with brilliant and bright jewelry. It is safe and gentle for all of our enamel and jewelry. 

If you do not wish to purchase an additional cleaner, a gentle soap and water solution should also clean off any oils and residue.

Photo Tips for Perfect Silhouettes

• Place subject in front of a well-lit background, facing either left or right.
• Only one side of the face must show on the photo and entire head should be in the photo.
• A relaxed face helps to show the features (eyelashes, nose, lips) more realistically although smiling faces are cute too. It's up to you how you want to photograph them.
• Pictures taken with a phone camera work too. Just make sure to take the photos in good lighting, during the daytime is preferred.
• If photographing more than one person, take individual pictures.
• Remember to take the picture straight at eye level with the person you are photographing, standing about 2-4 feet away.
• If person has long hair (past the shoulder line) put it up. Ponytails, braids, messy buns really do make for cute silhouettes and add character to the final silhouette.
• For full body silhouettes, take a picture of the people standing, walking away or towards the camera. This works well when photographing siblings.
• When photographing babies, try taking the picture when they are asleep. Hold the camera directly above their face, with only one side of the face showing.
