Petit courage Series III: Blue and White Porcelain Sterling Silver Necklace / Blue and White Porcelain Jewelry

**Please note:** This item is a necklace only. Earrings and bracelets are not included. / Product Story / "Petit courage" translates to "small courage" in French. Often, we encounter small, unassuming wildflowers along the path, yet they bloom with such resilience. Witnessing them can offer us a gentle reminder, a touch of courage to face life's challenges. Dimensions: Approximately 40 cm in length, weighing around 1.9 grams. Materials: Imported Japanese white porcelain fired at 1230°C, 925 sterling silver chain, and 14k gold-plated copper for the stamen. / Care Instructions / For the ceramic components, please avoid contact with any dyes to prevent staining. As these are delicate items, handle with care to prevent breakage. For the sterling silver chain, please note that tarnishing is a natural characteristic of the metal. Daily wear is the best form of maintenance. After wearing, rinse with clean water and gently polish dry with a soft cloth to prevent perspiration from affecting the surface. Store in an airtight bag within a jewelry box when not in use. To preserve the integrity of your jewelry, please avoid contact with cosmetics, perfumes, vinegar, fruit juices, bleach, and elements like lead or mercury, as these can cause erosion. Refrain from engaging in heavy manual labor or activities involving strong friction while wearing 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 clay – white and blue. The creative concepts are abstracted from everyday life and cherished memories. The designs are simple and natural, complementing any attire. - To preserve the inherent qualities of the materials, some areas of the pieces are intentionally left unglazed, revealing the tactile feel of the clay or showcasing subtle marks from the creation process, allowing the wearer to connect with the piece's warmth. Unglazed areas, retaining the clay's porosity, are more susceptible to staining; please exercise caution during wear. - While we refer to it as "ceramic," there's a distinction between porcelain clay and earthenware clay. Porcelain clay is whiter and finer in texture, allowing for thinner shaping and resulting in a lighter finished product compared to earthenware. Porcelain has fewer pores and produces a crisper sound when tapped. Each piece is hand-molded, making every creation unique. / Product Warranty / We hope your jewelry brings you joy for a long time. Therefore, all products come with a lifetime warranty. Once a year, enjoy complimentary shipping for maintenance (this covers the return shipping after repair; shipping to us for repair is the customer's responsibility). We also offer free jewelry cleaning and re-adhesion 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 handcrafted, variations in texture, color, and form are inherent. Monitor displays may also differ, so exact replication of product photos cannot be guaranteed. To ensure a smooth purchase, please confirm your acceptance of these variations before buying. 3. Improper care of sterling silver can lead to rapid tarnishing. Please proceed with your purchase only if you are comfortable with this characteristic. 4. As the earrings are made of ceramic, please handle them with care. Damage resulting from user handling is not eligible for return or exchange. 5. Unglazed areas are prone to soiling. Please avoid contact with colored substances. Kindly place your order only if you find this acceptable. Origin/Manufacturing Method Taiwan/Crafted with Care
