Naturewit by Maria Aurora Manetti
All Nature ceramic products are rigorously and entirely handmade, by me. My name is Maria Aurora Manetti and I am a Florentine ceramic artisan. The brand was born from my love for nature and for everything that is green, sustainable and possibly self-produced. Ceramics, being basically clay and glass, is the right material for my idea of ​​art. Since I was a child I have always lived in the countryside around Florence, surrounded by olive trees and vineyards. From here I developed my artistic sensitivity and the desire to create. Observing nature, I understood that there is a spirit behind everything and it is to this spirit that my art is dedicated.

Ceramic and gold plated jewelry
All these jewels are handmade. The clay, white terracotta, is baked in a ceramic oven at 1000°C. The second firing with colors and enamels takes place at 920°C. The plating is 1 micron of 24-carat gold, hypoallergenic as it excludes the use of nickel in the manufacturing phases. Gold plating is widely used in the manufacture of jewelry. A base metal is used, generally brass, and it is covered with gold (between 14 and 24 carats) using an electrical or chemical process. To determine the quality of a gold-plated jewel, you need to consider the thickness of the gold applied, which is measured in microns. The minimum quantity is 0.3 microns and with this quantity we generally speak of flash plating. The greater the quantity of microns used, the greater the resistance and durability of the plating. Naturewit jewels have a 1 micron plating of 24-carat gold that allows them to be worn for a long time while maintaining the same brilliance.
This duration is also influenced by some external factors that can be controlled with some care and attention.

Care and Maintenance
Some valuable tips to take care of and keep your plated jewel in perfect condition 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 sporting activities 
• Remove your jewel before going to sleep 
• Avoid contact with cosmetic products (soaps, perfumes, creams, etc.)
