As these are fragile items, handle with care to avoid impact. For the sterling silver parts, please note that oxidation is a natural characteristic of silver. Wearing them daily is the best form of maintenance. After wearing, rinse with clean water and gently wipe dry with a soft cleaning cloth, avoiding exposure to sweat which can affect 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 and mercury, to minimize corrosion. When wearing, please refrain from heavy work or activities involving strong friction to prevent scratches or damage to the accessories. / Product Features / - These ceramic accessories draw inspiration from traditional blue and white porcelain, with colors predominantly featuring the natural hues of the clay – white and blue. The creative concepts stem from everyday life and cherished memories, abstracting elements from them. The shapes are natural and simple, making them suitable for any outfit. - We aim to retain the inherent characteristics of the materials. Therefore, some areas may be left unglazed to preserve the tactile feel of the clay, or to showcase the marks of the creation process, allowing the wearer to feel its warmth. Unglazed areas, with their porous nature, are more susceptible to staining, so please be mindful during wear. - While we refer to them as ceramic, there's a distinction between porcelain clay and earthenware. Porcelain clay is whiter and has a finer texture, allowing for thinner shaping, resulting in lighter finished products compared to earthenware. Porcelain clay has fewer pores and produces a crisper sound when tapped lightly. Each piece is handcrafted, making every item unique. / Notes / 1. Each piece is handmade, so variations in texture, color, and shape are to be expected. Computer monitor settings may also differ, so we cannot guarantee an exact match to the product photos. To avoid any inconvenience with returns or exchanges, please ensure you can accept these differences before purchasing. 3. Improper care of sterling silver can lead to rapid oxidation. Please purchase only if you are comfortable with this possibility. 4. As the earrings are made of ceramic clay, please handle them with care. We will not accept returns or exchanges for damage caused by human error. 5. Unglazed areas are more prone to dirt; please avoid contact with colored substances. Place your order only if you accept this condition. 6. Although the adhesive for the ceramic and metal components has been applied in two layers, due to Taiwan's humid and hot climate and varying user care practices, it is difficult to guarantee permanent adhesion. However, we offer one complimentary re-adhesion service with no expiration date after purchase (excluding damage or missing parts). Simply contact us via private message, send the item back, and we will repair and return it to you. Origin/Manufacturing Method: Taiwan / Crafted with Warm Hands
