FAQ
We use a proprietary bronze blend that closely mimics the color of 18k yellow gold. I have chosen this particular blend because of the color and beauty.
What is bronze?
Bronze is composed of copper and tin. If you have an allergy to either of these metals, I wouldn’t suggest you wear it.
This can happen when someone wears bronze. It’s not an allergic reaction but a
chemical reaction due to your skin PH. This is a temporary reaction and can easily be washed off with warm soapy water. It can be inhibited by putting a clear coat of nail polish where the skin comes into contact with the jewelry, ie the inside of a ring. It will need to be reapplied as it wears off.
Caring for Your Chikahisa Studio Piece
A handcrafted piece deserves thoughtful care.
Chikahisa Studio works in three metals. Proprietary bronze, matte sterling silver, and oxidized sterling silver. Each one ages differently, and each one rewards the right kind of attention. This is not mass-produced jewelry. It won't respond well to mass-produced cleaning methods.
