Bauhinia White Porcelain Sterling Silver Earrings

/ Product Description & Story / "Bauhinia" refers to the orchid tree. I have a vivid memory of sweeping up Bauhinia leaves on the school grounds during elementary school; their unique shape left a lasting impression. It wasn't until I became a mother and accompanied my child on nature observation classes that I learned the name of this plant. Dimensions: Approximately 1.3 cm in length, 1 cm in width, weighing about 0.6 grams. Materials: Imported Japanese white porcelain clay fired at high temperatures (1230°C), transparent glossy glaze, 925 sterling silver. / Usage & Care Instructions / For the porcelain components, please avoid contact with any dyes to prevent staining. As these are fragile items, please handle with care to avoid impact. For sterling silver components, please note that oxidation is a natural characteristic of silver. Wearing them daily is the best form of maintenance. After wearing, rinse with clean water and gently wipe dry with a soft cleaning cloth to prevent perspiration from damaging the surface structure. After drying, it is recommended to store them in a sealed bag within a jewelry box. When wearing jewelry, please avoid contact with cosmetics, perfumes, vinegar, fruit juices, bleach, and elements like lead and mercury unless absolutely necessary, to minimize corrosion. During wear, please refrain from heavy-duty work or activities involving strong friction to prevent scratches or damage to the jewelry. / Product Features / - The ceramic accessories are inspired by traditional Chinese blue and white porcelain, primarily using the natural colors of porcelain clay—white and blue. The creative inspiration stems from everyday life and cherished memories, abstracting elements from them. The shapes are natural and simple, making them versatile for any outfit. - We aim to preserve the inherent characteristics of the materials. Therefore, some areas of the pieces may remain unglazed, retaining the tactile feel of the clay or showing traces of the creation process, allowing the wearer to experience their warmth. Unglazed areas, with their open pores, are more susceptible to staining, so please be mindful during wear. - While we often refer to them as "ceramic," there is a distinction between porcelain and earthenware. Porcelain clay is typically whiter and has a finer texture, allowing it to be shaped more thinly, resulting in lighter finished products compared to earthenware. Porcelain also has fewer pores, and when tapped lightly, it produces a crisper sound than earthenware. Each piece is hand-sculpted, making every item unique. / Product Warranty / We hope your jewelry brings you joy for a long time, which is why our products come with a lifetime warranty. Once a year, enjoy complimentary return shipping for maintenance (this covers the cost of shipping the repaired item back to you, but you will need to cover the shipping cost to send the item for repair). We also offer free jewelry cleaning and reattachment of fallen earring posts. However, missing components or significant damage will require a separate assessment for repair feasibility and a quote. / Precautions / 1. As the pieces are handmade, their textures, colors, and shapes will vary. Additionally, computer displays differ, so we cannot guarantee an exact match to the product photos. To avoid the hassle of returns or exchanges, please ensure you are comfortable with this before purchasing. 3. Sterling silver can oxidize easily with improper care; please purchase only if you are comfortable with this possibility. 4. Since the earrings are made of porcelain clay, please handle them with extreme care. We will not accept returns or exchanges for damage caused by human error. 5. Unglazed areas are more prone to soiling; please avoid contact with colored substances. Please place your order only if you accept this condition.
