Ring with pink flowers, pearls and stones
Ring with pink flowers, with gold-plated brass base, hypoallergenic.
This ring is made up of small ceramic flowers made one by one by hand and anchored to the base of the ring with natural river pearls and rose quartz pearls. The clay, white terracotta, is fired in a ceramic kiln at 1000°C. The second firing with colors and glazes takes place at 920°C. The base of the earrings is a CLIP in gold-plated brass. The plating is 1 micron of 24-carat gold, hypoallergenic as it excludes the use of nickel in the processing phases. The pearls and stones are natural and attached one by one to the base of the brooch
Naturewit by Maria Aurora Manetti
All Naturewit ceramic products are rigorously and entirely handmade, by me. My name is Maria Aurora Manetti and I am a Florentine artisan ceramist. 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 sensibility and desire to create. Observing nature, I realized that there is a spirit behind everything and it is to this spirit that my art is dedicated.
Ceramic and gold-plated jewellery
All Naturewit jewellery is handmade. The clay, white terracotta, is fired in a ceramic kiln at 1000°C. The second firing with colors and glazes takes place at 920°C. The plating is 1 micron of 24-carat gold, hypoallergenic as it excludes the use of nickel in the processing 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) by an electrical or chemical process. To determine the quality of a gold-plated piece of jewelry, it is necessary to consider the thickness of the applied gold, which is measured in microns. The minimum amount is 0.3 microns, and this amount is generally referred to as flash plating. The higher the amount of microns used, the greater the strength and durability of the plating. Naturewit jewels have a plating of 1 micron of 24-carat gold that allows you to wear them for a long time while maintaining the same brilliance.
Some valuable tips to take care of and keep 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 sporting activity • • Remove your jewel before going to sleep •
• Avoid contact with cosmetic products (soaps, perfumes, creams...) •
