Are Polymer Clay Earrings Durable Enough for Everyday Wear?

Short answer: Yes - but with the right care.

Polymer clay earrings may look delicate, but they’re surprisingly strong when properly made and baked. If you've ever wondered whether these handcrafted beauties can handle your daily routine, here's everything you need to know.

How Durable Is Polymer Clay?

Polymer clay is a versatile, plastic-based material that hardens after baking. Once cured at the correct temperature, it becomes:

• Sturdy but flexible, not brittle

• Water-resistant (but not waterproof)

• Resistant to minor drops and knocks

However, like any handmade item, its durability depends on craftsmanship. At Vaasvi Jewellery, each pair is carefully baked, tested for strength, and assembled with secure metal findings.

Can You Wear Polymer Clay Earrings Every Day?

Yes - many customers wear their polymer clay earrings daily. But just like you wouldn't wear your finest gold jewelry to the gym or shower, a little care goes a long way.

Everyday wear tips:

• Store them in a padded jewelry box when not in use

• Avoid exposing them to water, perfume, and hairspray

• Handle larger statement styles with a bit more care
