Will My Jewelry Look Exactly Like The Photos On The Website?
We strive for the highest level of accuracy in our photography. All photos are captured using an iPhone 15 or later model. Images are not AI generated.
However, as terracotta is an organic medium, slight nuances in texture and hue may occur during the firing process. This ensures that every KLAV Collection piece you receive is an original work of art.
Because each piece is hand-shaped and hand-painted by our artisans, no two items are exactly alike. While your jewelry will closely match the colors and patterns shown, these subtle variations are the signature of a truly handcrafted piece, making your selection one-of-a-kind.
What Material Do You Use In Your Jewelry?
The base for every jewelry is high quality, naturally occurring terracotta clay.
Depending on the design, the finished product may contain:
Stones and crystals
Acrylic paint
Waterproof varnish
Jewelry glue
Metal clasps & hooks
Synthetic rope (necklace fastener)

Is Terracotta Jewelry Suitable For Sensitive Skin?
Natural terracotta is an inert, mineral-based material and is widely regarded as hypoallergenic. We use high-quality earthen clay specifically because it is gentle on the skin.
Terracotta is composed of natural minerals (silica, alumina, and iron oxide) that do not typically trigger the immune system.
Chemical-Free Base: Unlike plastics or synthetic resins, natural terracotta clay does not contain the phthalates or petroleum-based irritants that often cause contact dermatitis.
Most jewelry allergies are actually Nickel allergies. Earring hooks or back stoppers may contain nickel, potentially causing skin breakouts for customers with extreme skin sensitivity, even if the terracotta pendant is perfectly safe.
However, since everyone's skin chemistry is different, and because our finished jewelry includes paints, minimal metal clasps, stones, and water based varnish, we recommend that those with extreme skin sensitivities try a patch test by wearing the jewelry for a short period first.
While we take pride in the natural purity and high quality of our materials, please note that KLAV Collections LLC does not assume liability and is not responsible for any personal allergic reactions that may occur from wearing our jewelry or accessories.
