Walrus Oil. Don't worry, it's not made from Walruses. We at Talking Oak are friends to walruses. Walrus Oil is made from Safflower Oil, Tung Oil, Hemp Seed Oil, and Lime Oil. And it's food grade. But please don't eat your earrings.

We source all the wood for our earrings ourselves, meaning we don't buy it from the store. Most of it we obtain locally from trees that have recently been cut down in peoples' backyards and such. Don't worry, we ask first. We're not wood bandits. Although "wood bandits" could be a good name for a bluegrass band.

Generally, we don't. But every now and then we make an exception. Go ahead and contact us if you'd like to pitch your idea.

In addition to being a great addition to any wardrobe, Talking Oak earrings can save your life in such a situation. If this happens to you, just keep the metal portion of the earring and send that to us and we'll send you a new pair. However, keep in mind that the metal portion could also make a great fishing hook.

We do our best to source the metal in our earrings such that anyone can wear them. So, yes, they're hypoallergenic. That said, we also recognize that even earrings that are hypoallergenic for most could cause an allergic reaction for others. If you have questions about any specific pair, please contact us and we will give you all the details on the metal.

If your earrings cause an allergic reaction, just let us know and we will pay for you to ship it back and provide a full refund. And to make up for causing you discomfort, we will send you a nice video of a baby hedgehog. Because videos of baby hedgehogs are one of the sources of pure happiness.
