Petit White Michelia White Porcelain & Sterling Silver Earrings

/ Product Description & Story / "White Michelia" refers to the common Magnolia in Taiwan, and "Petit white michelia" means a small magnolia. These earrings are inspired by the *Ushin-shi* tree, a wood historically used for cutting boards in Taiwan, whose flowers resemble magnolias but are smaller. Dimensions: Approx. 1.6 cm (length) x 1 cm (width), Weight: Approx. 0.8 grams Materials: Imported Japanese white porcelain fired at 1230°C, 925 sterling silver posts / Care Instructions / To maintain the ceramic portion, avoid contact with any dyes to prevent staining. As these are delicate items, please handle them with care to prevent breakage. For the sterling silver, 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, avoiding moisture from perspiration which can affect the surface. Store in a sealed bag within a box once dry. To preserve the longevity of your jewelry, please avoid contact with cosmetics, perfumes, vinegar, fruit juice, bleach, and elements like lead and mercury, as these can cause corrosion. When wearing, refrain from heavy work or vigorous activities that involve friction to prevent scratches or damage. / Product Features / - The ceramic elements draw inspiration from traditional Chinese blue and white porcelain, primarily featuring the natural colors of the porcelain clay—white and blue. The creative concepts are derived from everyday life and cherished memories, abstracting their essence. The designs are natural and simple, complementing any outfit. - We aim to retain the inherent characteristics of the materials. Therefore, some areas of the pieces may be left unglazed, preserving the tactile feel of the clay or showcasing traces of the creative process, allowing the wearer to feel the warmth of the handmade item. 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 and earthenware. Porcelain clay is whiter and finer in texture, allowing for thinner shaping and resulting in lighter finished pieces compared to earthenware. Porcelain has fewer air pockets and produces a crisper sound when tapped lightly. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted, making every creation unique. / Product Warranty / We hope your jewelry brings you lasting joy. Therefore, all products come with a lifetime warranty. Once a year, enjoy complimentary shipping for repairs (this covers the cost of shipping the repaired item back to you; you will be responsible for the shipping cost to send it for repair). We also offer complimentary jewelry maintenance and reattachment of ear posts. However, missing components or significant damage will require a separate assessment for repair feasibility and quotation. / Important Notes / 1. As each piece is handmade, there may be variations in texture, color, and shape. Furthermore, computer monitor displays can differ, so we cannot guarantee an exact match to the product photos. To avoid any inconvenience with returns or exchanges, please ensure you are comfortable with these potential variations before purchasing. 3. Sterling silver can oxidize easily if not cared for properly. Please consider this before purchasing. 4. As the earrings are made of porcelain clay, please handle them with care. We will not accept returns or exchanges for damages caused by human handling. 5. Unglazed areas are more prone to dirt. Please avoid contact with colored substances. Order only if you accept this condition. Origin/Manufacturing Method: Taiwan / Crafted with warm hands
