Frequently Asked Questions

How do you make your earrings?

Each pair is handmade using a variety of tools. Here's a sample video on my Instagram page of how I make my pumpkin ghost stud earrings if you're interested to see the process!

🧁 What are your earrings made out of?

All of my earrings are handcrafted from polymer clay which is a lightweight, durable, and flexible material that’s perfect for detailed, wearable art.

Each piece is:
✨ Handcrafted (I use clay cutters to get a uniform look but each piece is still unique)
✨ Finished with nickel-free, hypoallergenic findings

Every pair is one-of-a-kind, made by hand, and made to make you smile.

✨ Why polymer clay? (aka the magic of clay earrings)

Polymer clay earrings are:
💫 Lightweight — even statement styles feel comfy all day.
💫 Durable — with a little care, they’ll last for years.
💫 Unique — each swirl, sprinkle, and brushstroke has its own personality.
💫 Versatile — from mini Little Debbie snacks to cozy mushrooms, the possibilities are endless.

Basically: they look bold, feel light, and bring so much joy every time you wear them!

🌿 How do I take care of them?

Your earrings are sturdy but still handmade so treat them with a little love!

🧺 Store: in a dry place, away from direct sunlight or sharp objects.
🧽 Clean: gently with a soft, damp cloth or baby wipe (no alcohol or chemicals).
🚿 Avoid: swimming, showering, or sleeping with them on.
👜 Travel tip: keep them in a pouch or small box to protect the clay and metal.

A little care = lots of wear. 💖

🎨 What kinds of earrings do you make?

Sweet & Quirky specializes in:
🍩 Mini food earrings – think coffee, cookies, lumpia, Little Debbie snacks, and more!
🦇 Pop culture pieces – a sprinkle of nostalgia and a dash of nerd (Twilight, Star Wars, and Harry Potter inspirations).
🍄 Whimsical designs – mushrooms, stars, hearts, and cozy seasonal themes.

Each collection is crafted to bring a smile, spark conversation, and help you show off your personality.

💌 Are your earrings safe for sensitive ears?

Yes! All earring posts and hooks are nickel-free and hypoallergenic, so they’re comfy and safe for most sensitive ears.

🧷 Can I customize my earrings?

Absolutely! I love making your pieces feel perfectly you.

✨ Need clip-ons? I can swap most dangle or ear hook styles for clip-on earrings: click here to learn more or shop clip-ons (just add the listing to your cart when you check out).

✨ Prefer leverbacks? I can also switch to leverback style earring backs! Just leave me a note at checkout or send a quick message.

✨ Want something totally different? Many designs can be turned into charms, keychains, or magnets! Just send me a message with what you have in mind, and I’ll make it happen if possible.

Your earrings, your way — that’s the beauty of handmade. 💕

🌈 Each piece is handmade and one-of-a-kind

Every Sweet & Quirky creation is made by hand, with love, charm, and a little bit of whimsy. Because each piece is crafted individually:

✨ No two earrings are exactly alike — tiny variations in shape, color, or texture are part of the charm.
✨ Colors may vary slightly from photos due to lighting, screens, and the natural qualities of polymer clay.
✨ Minor imperfections can happen — they’re a sign that your piece is handmade and not mass-produced.

Think of it as part of the personality of your earrings. A little quirkiness that makes them perfectly yours.

🌟 What makes Sweet & Quirky different?

Every piece is handmade by me — from sculpting to packaging — in small batches with care, creativity, and a little bit of magic.

No mass production. Just tiny, wearable works of art that let you wear your weird and feel seen, happy, and totally yourself.
