Larme de Fleur White Porcelain & Sterling Silver Earrings / Blue

/ Product Description & Story / "Larme de fleur" translates to "flower's tear," evoking the image of morning dew. It symbolizes the appearance of dew after sorrow, heralding a new, beautiful day. This piece is available in blue and white, both crafted with imported Japanese white porcelain clay and a matte transparent glaze. The white variant possesses a shell-like texture, while the blue showcases visible brushstrokes from the underglaze coloring. Nestled within each flower is an uncut piece of clear quartz. As handmade items, perfect replication is impossible, and each natural crystal is truly one-of-a-kind. Dimensions: Approximately 1.5 cm in length, 1.2 cm in width (slight variations may occur due to handmade nature). Materials: Imported Japanese white porcelain clay fired at 1230°C, blue underglaze, matte transparent glaze, 925 sterling silver ear posts, clear quartz. / Usage & Care Instructions / For the porcelain components, please avoid contact with dyes to prevent staining. As these are fragile items, handle with care to avoid impact. For sterling silver, please note that oxidation is a natural characteristic of the metal. Daily wear is the best form of maintenance. After wearing, rinse with clean water and gently dry with a soft cleaning cloth, avoiding sweat which can degrade the surface. Store in a sealed bag within a jewelry box once dry. To preserve the longevity of your jewelry, avoid contact with cosmetics, perfumes, vinegar, fruit juices, bleach, and elements like lead and mercury, which can cause erosion. Refrain from strenuous activities or strong friction while wearing to prevent scratches or damage. / Product Features / - Inspired by traditional Chinese blue and white porcelain, these ceramic accessories primarily feature the natural colors of porcelain clay: white and blue. The creative inspiration stems from everyday life and cherished memories, abstracting elements from these experiences. The designs are natural and simple, pairing seamlessly with any outfit. - To honor the inherent qualities of the materials, some areas of the pieces are left unglazed, preserving the tactile feel of the clay or revealing traces of the creation process, allowing the wearer to connect with its warmth. Unglazed areas, with their porous nature, are susceptible to staining, so please be mindful during wear. - While often referred to as "ceramic," there's a distinction between porcelain clay and earthenware. Porcelain clay is whiter and finer in texture, allowing for thinner crafting and resulting in lighter finished pieces compared to earthenware. Porcelain has fewer pores and produces a crisper sound when tapped than earthenware. Each piece is meticulously hand-molded, ensuring its uniqueness. / Product Warranty / To ensure your jewelry lasts a lifetime, we offer a lifetime warranty.
