Frequently Asked Questions
about Terra Cotta Pendants
There are a few more detailed answers at the bottom of this page.
| Q: | How much oil do I use? |
| A: | One drop. |
| Q: | Do I need to apply oil every day? |
| A: | No. One drop will diffuse for several days. When you can no longer smell the oil very well, you can reapply oil at that time. |
| Q: | Where do I put the oil? |
| A: | You lay the pendant flat and put one drop onto the front of the clay. Allow the oil to fully absorb into the clay before wearing. |
| Q: | What is the length of the rope? |
| A: | Terra Cotta Pendants come with waxed cotton, sliding-knot ropes which can be adjusted in length to approximately 38 cm (15 inches) to 76 cm (30 inches) long. |
| Q: | How do I adjust the length of the rope? |
| A: | The cords are a bit stiff at first. Here’s how to move the knots to adjust the length of the cord. Hold one knot in your non-dominant hand – between your thumb and forefinger. Hold the other knot in your dominant hand. Now move the dominant hand from the knot to the doubled part – the part in between the knots that has two strands of cord - and grasp one and tug slightly. If it moves, you’ve got it. If not, grasp the other cord and tug on that one. If neither of these actions work, switch knots from one hand to the other and try it again holding the other knot. |
| Q: | What are the sizes of the Pendants, Car Diffusers and Ornaments? |
| A: | Round Pendants - 2.8cm (1 1/8in) across; Oval Pendants - 3.25cm by 3.75cm (1 1/4in by 1 1/2in); Rectangular Pendants - 2.7cm by 4.2cm (1 1/8in by 1 7/8in). The Car Diffusers are 2.9 cm across (1 1/8 in). The Ornaments are - 5.5 cm across (2.25 in) |
| Q: | How thick are Terra Cotta Pendants? |
| A: | About half a cm (3/8 of an inch). |
| Q: | Will the oils stain my clothing? |
| A: | No, as long as it is completely absorbed in the clay before you put the pendant on. |
| Q: | How can I change the oil that I'm using? |
| A: | Wait until most of the oil has diffused off the pendant, then apply the second one. Some oils will blend nicely so that you can apply a second oil when there is still some of the first oil remaining on the pendant. |
| Q: | The prices are in Canadian dollars. How do I know what it will cost me in another currency? |
| A: | Please refer to the "Currency Converter" found on the "Ordering" page. The total amount of your order will be converted when your credit card company processes the transaction. |
| Q: | How do I pay? |
| A: | You can pay by VISA, Master Card, American Express, or Discover, using PayPal, even if you don't have a PayPal account, or you can use your Visa or MasterCard and call us on a toll free number to give your payment information to Lori. |
| Q: | Don't I need to use heat to diffuse the essential oil? |
| A: | Essential oils are naturally volatile ("evaporating quickly and easily at ordinary temperatures") so you don't need heat to diffuse them. To understand this better, click on the "What is Diffusing?" link at the left. |
