Frequently Asked Questions

---

 Taking care of your little darlings: stainless steel is tarnish resistant and durable.  The high gloss resin does not like hairspray, lotions or perfume so please avoid contact with these.  Handle them with care, avoid water and please store them out of direct sunlight.  Give them a gentle wipe over with a clean cloth to help keep them looking their best.  I want you to be happy with your purchase; if something is not quite right, please contact me and I will endeavour to resolve it.  Due to health regulations earrings cannot be returned.  If something arrives damaged, please contact me as soon as you receive the item.  

 Australia Post advise that due to Covid restrictions they are currently experiencing long delays and major disruptions in domestic deliveries between Victoria and other states and territories and for deliveries between locations within Victoria.

I regularly make new collections and each collection will include a variety of studs and dangles in most sizes and sometimes a matching pendant. 

As the unique artwork I use is small in size, each collection is available in limited quantities and is usually only 10 – 12 pieces/pairs. 

Please follow Tickled Pink Art Studio on social media to keep up to date with the release of new collections. The website will be updated accordingly. 

I strive to make high quality items for you to enjoy.

In my collections I make a selection of studs from 3mm in size up to 16mm in size with the most popular being the 6mm mini studs. 

The dangle earrings are made using a variety of settings: shepherd’s hook style, French style lever-backs, stud statement dangles and hoop statement dangles. The lever-back style is a very secure setting and the style I wear most days. In these days of mask-on/mask-off, they are less likely to come out and become lost. 

Other hand-painted dangle earrings are timber based while still being light-weight. 

I also make pendants and they will come with either a chain or cord as described in the photo.  

Stainless steel is hypo-allergenic and durable.

Stainless steel 304 and 316. Austenitic 304 and 316 stainless steels are considered surgical or medical-grade stainless steels. The key difference between 304 vs 316 stainless steel that makes them different is the addition of molybdenum in the 316 stainless steels. 

The stainless-steel findings I use are high quality and pass European Safety standards, are tarnish and scratch resistant, have a high resistance to rust and are lead and cadmium free. 

The exception are the 16mm lever-back dangle earrings; these are high quality findings made of copper with 14K Gold plating and are lead and nickel free.  

All findings are proudly sourced from Australian businesses. Small Australian business supporting small Australian businesses.

All earrings and pendants are created using my own original artwork and finished off with crystal clear resin. The resin I use has no dangerous VOC’s and is made in Australia.
