As these are fragile items, please handle with care to avoid collisions. For sterling silver care, 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 cloth, avoiding contact with body sweat to preserve the surface structure. After drying, it is recommended to store them in a sealed bag within a jewelry box. To ensure the longevity of your jewelry, avoid contact with cosmetics, perfumes, vinegar, fruit juice, bleach, and elements such as lead or mercury, which can cause corrosion. During wear, refrain from heavy labor 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 using the natural colors of the clay – white and blue. The creative inspiration stems from everyday occurrences and cherished memories, abstracting these elements into unique forms. The shapes are natural and simple, making them versatile for any outfit. - To preserve the inherent qualities of the materials, some areas of the work remain unglazed, retaining the tactile feel of the clay or showcasing the marks of the crafting process, allowing the wearer to connect with its warmth. Unglazed areas, with their open pores, are susceptible to staining, so please be mindful during wear. - While we refer to them as "ceramic," there is a distinction between porcelain clay and earthenware. Porcelain clay is whiter and has a finer texture, allowing for thinner sculpting and resulting in lighter, more delicate finished pieces. Porcelain clay has fewer pores and produces a crisper sound when tapped compared to earthenware. Each piece is meticulously hand-sculpted, making every creation truly unique. / Product Warranty / We hope your jewelry brings you joy for years to come, which is why our products come with a lifetime warranty.
