Dimensions: Approximately 1.6 cm in length, 0.8 cm in width, weighing about 0.4 grams. Materials: Imported Japanese white porcelain fired at 1230°C, 925 sterling silver. / Usage & Care Instructions / For the ceramic components, please avoid contact with any dyes to prevent staining. As these are delicate items, handle with care to avoid impact. For sterling silver care, please note that oxidation is a natural characteristic of the metal. Wearing them daily is the best form of maintenance. After wearing, rinse with clean water and gently wipe dry with a soft cleaning cloth. Avoid exposure to human sweat, which can degrade the surface structure. After drying, it is recommended to store them in a sealed bag within a box. To prolong the life of your jewelry, please avoid contact with cosmetics, perfumes, vinegar, fruit juices, bleach, and elements like lead or mercury, as these can cause corrosion. When wearing, refrain from heavy work or activities involving strong friction to prevent scratches or damage to the jewelry. / Product Features / - These ceramic accessories draw inspiration from traditional blue and white porcelain, primarily featuring the natural colors of the clay—white and blue. The creative concepts are derived from everyday life and cherished memories, abstracting elements from these experiences. The designs are natural and simple, making them versatile for any outfit. - We aim to preserve the inherent characteristics of the materials. Therefore, some areas of the pieces may be left unglazed to retain the tactile feel of the clay or to showcase the marks of the creative process, allowing the wearer to feel the warmth of the handmade item. Unglazed areas, due to their porous nature, are more susceptible to staining, so please be mindful during wear. - While we refer to them as ceramic, there is a distinction between porcelain clay and earthenware clay. Porcelain clay is typically whiter and finer in texture, allowing for thinner shaping and resulting in lighter, more delicate finished pieces compared to earthenware. Porcelain clay has fewer pores and produces a crisper sound when tapped than earthenware. Each piece is handcrafted and therefore unique. / Important Notes / 1. As each piece is handmade, variations in texture, color, and shape are inherent. Due to differences in monitor displays, we cannot guarantee an exact match to the product photos. To avoid any inconvenience regarding returns or exchanges, please ensure you are comfortable with these variations before purchasing. 3. Improper care of the sterling silver components can lead to rapid oxidation. Please proceed with your purchase only if you accept this possibility. 4. As the earrings are made of ceramic clay, please handle them with utmost care. We will not accept returns or exchanges for damage caused by human error. 5. Unglazed areas are more prone to soiling. Please avoid contact with colored substances. Place your order only if you accept this condition. 6. Although the connection between the ceramic and metal components is secured with two layers of adhesive, due to Taiwan's humid and hot climate and individual usage habits, we cannot guarantee permanent adhesion. However, we offer one complimentary re-adhesion service after purchase (excluding damage or missing parts). Simply message us to arrange sending the item back for repair, and we will return it to you once fixed. Origin/Manufacturing Method Taiwan / Crafted with warm hands
