Larme de Fleur White Porcelain & Sterling Silver Earrings / White

/ Product Description & Story / Larme de Fleur, meaning "flower's tear," also evokes the morning dew. It signifies that after sorrow, the dew of a new morning appears, heralding the arrival of a beautiful new day. This piece is available in blue and white, both crafted using imported Japanese white porcelain clay and a matte transparent glaze. The white variant possesses a texture reminiscent of seashell, while the blue version reveals the brushstrokes of underglaze coloring. Nestled within each flower is a raw, unpolished piece of clear quartz. As handmade items, each piece is inherently unique, and the natural variations in the quartz further ensure that no two are exactly alike. 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, matte transparent glaze, 925 sterling silver ear posts, clear quartz. / Care & Maintenance / For the porcelain components, please avoid contact with any dyes to prevent staining. As these are delicate items, please handle them with care to avoid impact or breakage. For sterling silver, oxidation is a natural characteristic of the metal. Daily wear is the best form of maintenance. After wearing, gently rinse with clean water and carefully dry with a soft polishing cloth. Avoid exposure to body sweat, which can degrade the surface structure. Once dry, it is recommended to store the jewelry in a sealed bag within a jewelry box. To preserve the beauty of your jewelry, please avoid contact with cosmetics, perfumes, vinegar, fruit juices, bleach, and elements like lead or mercury, which can cause corrosion. During wear, refrain from engaging in heavy labor or activities involving strong friction to prevent scratches or damage to the piece. / Product Features / - The ceramic accessories draw inspiration from traditional Chinese blue and white porcelain, with colors primarily in the natural hues of the clay – white and blue. The creative concepts are derived from everyday life and cherished memories, abstracting their elements. The forms are natural and simple, making them versatile for pairing with any outfit. - To retain the inherent characteristics of the materials, certain areas of the work remain unglazed, preserving the tactile feel of the clay or showcasing the traces of the creative process, allowing the wearer to feel its warmth. Unglazed areas, due to their porous nature, are susceptible to staining; please be mindful during wear. - While often referred to as "ceramic," there's a distinction between porcelain and earthenware. Porcelain clay is typically whiter and finer in texture, allowing for thinner shaping and resulting in lighter finished pieces compared to earthenware. Porcelain has fewer pores and produces a crisper sound when tapped lightly. Each piece is meticulously hand-formed, ensuring its individuality. / Product Warranty / We hope your jewelry brings you lasting joy, hence all items come with a lifetime warranty.
