These hand knotted earrings are fairly lightweight for their size. I have used a different cord than my usual. This plied and bonded nylon is called C-Lon. It is harder to work with but worth it as C-Lon offers a shinier, softer, and daintier finish. Perfect for this style of earrings. The hoop is solid brass, the earring hook is nickel free and they are finished with a matching faceted glass drop that sparkles and catches the sun.

🌧️ Everyday Wear & Water
- Water-resistant, not waterproof: The C-Lon cord is highly durable and won't rot or fray when wet. You can wear it in the shower or rain.
- Avoid swimming pools & oceans: Chlorine, harsh pool chemicals, and saltwater can rapidly tarnish brass and break down the wax coating on the cord over time.
- Keep away from cosmetics: Put your jewllery on after applying lotions, sunscreen, perfumes, or body oils. These products can film over the brass and dull its shine.
✨ Cleaning Your Jewellery
- To clean the cord: If the cord gets dirty, gently hand-wash it with warm water and a drop of mild, clear dish soap. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a towel. Let it air dry completely.
Please note there is no glue used at all in micro macrame. The ends of the threads are melted in order to seal them and prevent fraying.
