Product Insights
The Lou Circus Box is a medium-sized, handcrafted storage piece from Doing Goods, a B Corp-certified brand, priced at 40 CAD and currently in stock. Its defining feature is the white panels of hand-set shell inlay, offering subtle iridescence and unique variation per unit, while the capacity fits multiple rings or earrings. However, the resin construction requires careful handling, as it yellows in sunlight and cracks from acetone-based cleaners, and each box's handmade nature introduces slight finish inconsistencies.
- Shell detail
White panels are hand-set shell inlay with subtle iridescence and unique variation per unit.

- Capacity
Fits 3-4 stacking rings or a couple of chunky signets, and 3-5 pairs of post earrings.
Why this is supported

- Care
Resin yellows in sunlight and cracks from acetone-based cleaners.
Why this is supported
The resin surface is prone to micro-scratches; a dry microfiber cloth is the safest dusting tool.
Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth and softly wipe away loose dust. Microfiber works well because it lifts particles instead of dragging them around like grit.
riderenchantedstudio.comDirect sunlight causes the blue-and-white pattern to yellow over time.
Avoid direct sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause resin to yellow or fade.
wenits.comFor cleaning, avoid harsh chemicals; they can cloud or crack the resin.
Avoid glass cleaner, alcohol-heavy sprays, acetone, ammonia-based products, bleach, disinfecting wipes with strong chemical solutions, and rough scrub pads.
riderenchantedstudio.comThe only safe solvent for tough stains is 91% isopropyl alcohol.
