La môme Ceramic Necklace (White)

/ Product Description & Story / "La môme" translates to "girl" in French, while in Chinese, "含苞待放" (hán bāo dài fàng) refers to a maiden on the cusp of maturity. The white flower bud symbolizes a girl's innocence, a reminder to retain that purity even after becoming a mother. Dimensions: Approximately 40 cm in length, weighing about 2.1 grams. Materials: Imported Japanese white porcelain fired at 1230°C, 925 sterling silver chain. / Care Instructions / For the ceramic portion, please avoid contact with any dyes to prevent staining. As it is a fragile item, handle with care to avoid impact. For sterling silver care, please note that oxidation is a natural characteristic of the metal. Wearing it daily is the best form of maintenance. After wearing, rinse with clean water and gently wipe dry with a soft, clean cloth. Avoid exposure to human sweat, which can degrade the surface structure. Once dry, it is recommended to store it in a sealed bag within a box. During wear, please avoid contact with cosmetics, perfumes, vinegar, fruit juices, bleach, and elements like lead and mercury, if possible, to minimize corrosion. When wearing, refrain from heavy-duty work or activities involving strong friction to prevent scratches or damage to the jewelry. / Product Features / - The ceramic accessories draw inspiration from traditional Chinese blue and white porcelain, primarily featuring the natural colors of the 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, suitable for pairing with any attire. - To preserve the inherent characteristics of the materials, some areas of the piece may be left unglazed, retaining the tactile feel of the clay or bearing marks from the creation process, allowing the wearer to experience its warmth. Unglazed areas, due to their porous nature, are more susceptible to staining; please be mindful during wear. - While we refer to it as "ceramic," there's a distinction between porcelain clay and earthenware clay. Porcelain clay is whiter and has a finer texture, allowing for thinner shaping and resulting in a lighter, more delicate finished product compared to earthenware. Porcelain clay has fewer pores and produces a clearer, crisper sound when tapped than earthenware. Each piece is handcrafted and unique. / Product Warranty / To ensure your jewelry can be cherished for a long time, we offer a lifetime warranty.
