Care Guide

Durability

  • AB-White Porcelain Beads: The AB (Aurora Borealis) coating on porcelain beads creates a delicate, iridescent finish that can be sensitive to scratches and wear. While porcelain is a durable material, it is more prone to cracking or chipping under impact, so it’s important to handle these earrings with care. The iridescent coating may also wear off with prolonged friction or contact with rough surfaces.
  • Antique Copper-Style Brass Findings: Brass is a sturdy metal but can tarnish over time due to exposure to moisture and oils from the skin. The antique copper finish may wear off with frequent use, so it’s essential to clean and store the earrings properly to maintain the appearance of the findings.

Suitability

  • Casual Wear: The soft, neutral tones of the AB-White porcelain beads make these earrings suitable for casual everyday wear. They add a subtle yet elegant touch to outfits without being overpowering.
  • Special Occasions: The iridescent shine of the porcelain beads makes these earrings a wonderful choice for more refined or semi-formal occasions. Their understated beauty can complement both day-to-night looks, making them versatile for a variety of events.

Storage

  • Store the earrings in a soft pouch, jewelry box, or hermetic bag to protect the porcelain beads from scratches and the brass findings from tarnishing.
  • Keep the earrings in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and high humidity. Excessive heat or moisture can damage the finish on both the porcelain beads and the brass findings.
  • To prevent the porcelain beads from chipping, store the earrings in a way that avoids pressure or friction.

Cleaning

  • Porcelain Beads: Clean the porcelain beads with a soft, dry cloth to avoid scratching the surface or damaging the iridescent finish. If needed, lightly dampen the cloth to remove any dust or smudges, but avoid soaking the beads in water. Do not use harsh chemicals or cleaners that may damage the delicate coating.
  • Brass Findings: Brass can tarnish over time, so it’s important to clean the antique copper finish regularly to maintain its appearance. Use a jewelry polishing cloth designed for brass, or use a mild brass cleaner for stubborn tarnish, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • General Care: Avoid exposing the earrings to chemicals, perfumes, or cosmetics, as these can damage the porcelain beads and metal components. Keep the earrings away from moisture, and remove them before swimming, showering, or engaging in activities that may expose them to water.

General Care Tips

  • Be mindful of the delicate porcelain beads and avoid dropping the earrings, as they may crack or chip.
  • If wearing for extended periods, make sure the earrings are not in contact with rough or abrasive surfaces to prevent damage to the iridescent coating.
  • To preserve the brass findings’ antique finish, clean them gently and avoid harsh polishing tools that may remove the patina.

Weight Priciples

In principle I keep the weight below 5 grams per earring, so it doesn’t stretch or hurt your ears even if you wear it the whole day. Occasionally, for some designs, that weight limit exceeds by a gram – every pair has their specific weight marked under the overview tab.

Note that some earring hooks have thicker wires, and if you are not used to wearing earrings daily, using them will feel uncomfortable in the beginning.
