What materials do you use?
Solart pieces are made with wood - a sustainably sourced hoop pine from Australia.
The findings and chains are made from surgical stainless steel.
Rubber backs are used for the studs.
Are the colours painted on?
No. The artworks are originally painted and then scanned and UV printed onto the wood.
There is then a water-resistant coating on top for protection.
