Handcrafted

Handcrafted jewelry components are made from a wide variety of noble or decorative materials, often chosen for their unique aesthetic and handmade character. These include

• Glass, in many forms: blown glass, dichroic glass, flame-spun glass, etc.
• Ceramics and clay, highly appreciated for their natural textures and authenticity.
• Bohemian or Czech beads, renowned for their quality and brilliance.
• Millefiori beads, made using a traditional Venetian technique with floral patterns in colored glass clay.
• Murano beads, hand-blown using traditional Italian techniques.

There are also Indian beads, often decorated with hand-painting, andKashmir beads, with their colorful style and often embossed finish. But also pearls from Indonesia or gold or silver leaf beads.

These materials are selected not only for their aesthetic qualities, but also for their artisanal value: each bead or component thus becomes a unique piece to be incorporated into your costume or handcrafted jewelry creations.

As a rule, ceramic beads are relatively hard-wearing, especially when glazed, which gives them a smooth, shiny protective coating. However, as with most jewelry components, it is advisable to avoid prolonged contact with water, perfume or chemicals.

Repeated exposure to moisture or substances such as the alcohol in perfume can, in the long term :

• dull enamel lustre,
• weaken mounts or wires,
• alter hand-painted colors or special finishes.

To preserve the beauty and durability of your handcrafted jewelry, we recommend :

• remove your jewelry before showering, swimming or any wet activity,
• apply your own perfume before putting on your jewelry,
• store your creations away from humidity and direct light.

Protected in this way, your beads will retain their handcrafted brilliance and unique appearance for many years to come.
