☆ FFXIV | Mandragora (JP) | Meteor (DC)Hi there! I'm Maxine, an illustrator and jewelry designer, but you probably know me as "Kouri," short for my tag "kouriimei."I draw and make pretty things as a hobby, to share what I love with others because stories, and their journeys, are meant to be shared and enjoyed together. Endeavoring in capturing a singular moment of what cannot be said and what could only be felt is something I've always enjoyed.I hope you enjoy your stay, and thank you for stopping by. ✨

To prolong your jewelry life and durability
Handle with love and care ♡
⟡ Each jewelry piece was delicately handcrafted by me, and while I do my best to make things as sturdy as possible, some things tend to break more easily than others. This would be: Czech glass, delicate chains, and tiny jump rings.
Avoid prolonged exposure to sun, water, and chemicals
⟡ Please do not use lotion, or similar products, over jewelry/metals. This will cause durability to decrease.
⟡ Prolonged exposure to sun (eg placing jewelry next to the window) can cause metals to fade over time.
Store in a cool, dry place.
⟡ Earrings will naturally tarnish because they are gold-plated or rhodium-plated. These materials will naturally tarnish in humidity, long/repetitive exposure to water, etc., so when not in use, place in its original microfiber bag or in a cool, dry place.
If tarnishing occurs, use a jewelry cleaning cloth.
⟡ As much as I wish jewelry plating doesn't tarnish, it will as time goes on. You can care for your jewelry by purchasing a jewelry polishing cloth and occasionally using it to polish. Not only will it prolong life, but it will also give it a lovely sheen.
⟡ Alternatively, gently wipe with a damp cloth or tissue.
Please do not forcefully tug on jewelry parts.
If your piece breaks or tarnishes within 30 days, please let me know, so that we can work out a solution together! ♡ Please note that photos will be required.
