Warning

One Sixth Living would like to stress that, because of its extremely small size, our jewellery is meant strictly for the use of mature collectors aged 14 and over. As with all small fashion doll accessories, special care should be taken to ensure that One Sixth Living jewellery is kept out of the reach of children and pets.

Tips for Putting Jewellery on Dolls

Designed and handcrafted for the adult collector, these pieces have very small detailing and may require some degree of dexterity to be put on a doll. A pair of tweezers or pliers comes in handy when putting on clasps. With your fingers, take the loop end and with pliers in the other hand, grasp the hook. Place the loop over the hook.

Carefully insert earring posts into a doll's earring holes. Some holes are irregular and may bend posts. For crooked holes, a sewing pin may first be inserted to see how the hole "bends." Remove the pin and insert the earring post in the direction of the bend. Tweezers or pliers may also be used here to help coax the post in little by little. To remove earrings, pull on the post as opposed to the earring itself.

Earrings posts require a small amount of  Scotch Magic Tape wrapped around it to fill larger earring holes. All earrings come with a layer of Scotch Magic Tape to assist in avoiding the "green ear" syndrome. If the layer is too thick, remove and replace with a smaller amount. Alternatively, if the hole is still too large, place another piece of Scotch Magic Tape around the post.

Jewellery Care

Protect your jewellery as it can be damaged from scratches, sharp blows, harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. If jewellery is protected from dust, chances are it will not need heavy cleaning. On occasion, jewellery may need light cleaning. Most pieces can be dusted with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using water on lapis lazuli, garnet, jasper, malachite, turquoise, bloodstone, opal and emerald.

The tarnish on sterling silver can be gently buffed with a soft, cotton cloth. For extra-tarnished pieces, apply silver polish to a cloth and gently buff jewellery. Toothpaste substitutes well for a gold or silver polish. Gently rub jewelry between toothpaste-tipped fingers. On pieces made entirely of metal and stone, excess polish may be removed with water. Dry the piece in a soft cloth.
