She draws each design by hand in pen and ink; her longtime caster's team builds the 3D model from the drawing, and she reviews it for scale and fidelity before casting. Each piece is poured and cast from its own single 3D print, one print, one cast, not bent from sheet metal or pulled from a reusable mold, then stone-set where it has stones, finished and hallmarked. Weights and dimensions are nominal and vary slightly from piece to piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e14K and 18K yellow gold can collect natural oils, lotions and residue from everyday wear. Gently clean the exterior with a soft cloth dampened with lukewarm water and a small amount of mild dish soap, then wipe with clean water and dry thoroughly. A soft jewelry polishing cloth can be used to restore its luster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEveryday oils and lotions can dull the stones. Clean around them with the soapy cloth or an extra-soft brush, using light strokes, and have a jeweler check the settings once a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemove your Kavacha before swimming, bathing, hot tubs or saunas, or using strong chemicals, and put on perfume, lotion and sunscreen first. Water resistance has not been tested, so do not treat the piece as watertight. Keep the chamber and anything inside it completely dry, and twist the cap closed by hand until the silicone seal fits snug. Once ashes or another irreplaceable trace are inside, the piece is not meant to be opened and closed casually or repeatedly, although it can be reopened when necessary.
