These seahorse dangle earrings are a perfect example of artistic craftsmanship, inspired by the wonderful shapes of nature and the sea. The ceramic seahorses are hand molded from clay. The entire model is cut into two halves, emptied by digging out the excess clay and then closed again. This delicate operation gives the earring a pleasant lightness and perfect portability. Decoration with third fire gold (third firing) is an ancient technique that is performed on ceramics by applying liquid gold mixed with a fondant with a brush. At a temperature of 750° centigrade the gold welds to the vitrified body of the ceramic. The gold used for our ceramics is 18 karat.
All our jewelery is handmade. The clay, white terracotta, is fired in a ceramic oven at 1000°C.
The second firing with colors and glazes takes place at 920°C. The base of the pomegranate dangle earrings is made of gold-plated brass.
The plating is 1 micron of 24 karat gold, hypoallergenic as it excludes the use of nickel in the manufacturing phases. Gold plating is widely used in jewelry making. A base metal, usually brass, is used and covered with gold (between 14 and 24 carats) using an electrical or chemical process.
To determine the quality of a gold-plated jewel, you must consider the thickness of the applied gold which is measured in microns. The minimum quantity is 0.3 microns and this quantity is generally referred to as flash plating.
The greater the quantity of microns used, the greater the resistance and durability of the plating. Our jewels have a 1 micron 24 carat gold plating which allows them to be worn for a long time while maintaining the same brilliance.
This duration is also influenced by some external factors which can be controlled with some care and attention.
Some precious tips for taking care of and keeping your plated jewel perfect over time:
• Store it in a dry place, possibly in a soft case to avoid scratches •
• Do not wear it while bathing or showering •
• Remove your jewel during a shower sporting activity •
• Remove your jewelery before going to sleep •
• Avoid contact with cosmetic products (soaps, perfumes, creams…) •
