How to Care for Your Origami Jewelry

Understandably, many people are nervous that they’ll destroy a piece of jewelry made from paper. So I make sure I start with the finest quality paper – usually from Japan – and then coat it with a clear sealant so it will retain its shape and resist water. I tend to avoid using foil or vellum in my jewelry because of poor wear and tear.

If a piece gets bent, simply fold it back to its original shape. Earrings may be worn with wet hair (although I wouldn’t go swimming in them!) Please avoid wearing earrings while blow drying or rigorously brushing your hair.
