Bauhinia White Porcelain & Sterling Silver Earrings

/ Product Description & Story / I recall sweeping up Bauhinia leaves on the school grounds during my elementary days; their unique shape left a lasting impression. It wasn't until I became a mother and accompanied my child on nature observation outings that I learned the plant's name. Dimensions: Approximately 3.5 cm in length, 0.8 cm in width Materials: White porcelain fired at 1230°C (imported from Japan), 925 sterling silver ear hooks / Care & Maintenance / For the porcelain components, please avoid contact with any dyes to prevent staining. As these are delicate items, strong impacts should be avoided. For the sterling silver, 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 polishing cloth to prevent body oils from damaging the surface. After drying, it is recommended to store them in a sealed bag within a box. To prolong the life of your jewelry, please avoid contact with cosmetics, perfumes, vinegar, fruit juices, bleach, and elements like lead or mercury, which can cause corrosion. When wearing, refrain from heavy manual labor or activities involving strong friction to prevent scratches or damage to the jewelry. / Product Features / - The ceramic pieces draw inspiration from traditional Chinese blue and white porcelain, primarily utilizing the natural colors of porcelain clay – white and blue. The creative concepts are derived from everyday life and cherished memories, abstracting elements from them. The designs are natural and simple, making them versatile for any outfit. - We aim to preserve the inherent qualities of the materials. Therefore, some areas of the pieces may be left unglazed, retaining the tactile feel of the clay or showcasing subtle marks from the crafting process, allowing customers to experience their warmth. Unglazed areas, due to their porous nature, are prone to staining; please take care during wear. - While we refer to them as "ceramic," there is a distinction between porcelain and earthenware. Porcelain clay is 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 handcrafted and therefore unique. / Notes / 1. As the items are handcrafted, variations in texture, color, and shape are inherent. Display differences on computer monitors may also occur, and we cannot guarantee exact replication of the product photos. To avoid the inconvenience of returns or exchanges, please ensure you are comfortable with these variations before purchasing. 3. Sterling silver can oxidize easily with improper care; please purchase only if you accept this possibility. 4. As the earrings are made from porcelain clay, please handle them with care. We will not accept returns or exchanges for damage caused by human error. 5. Unglazed areas are more susceptible to dirt; please avoid contact with colored substances. Please place your order only if you accept this condition. Origin/Manufacturing Method Taiwan / Crafted with Warmth
