Women's White Portrait Of A Girl Sky Cameo And Pearl Earrings

These 'Portrait Of A Girl' earrings by Vintouch Jewels are inspired by and named after the famous painting by the Pollaiolo Brothers, depicting a beautiful woman called Marietta. Crafted by hand in the brand's Italian studios, they're cast from 18-karat gold-plated silver and set with a cluster of pearls that graze the jawline. Wear yours solo or alongside similar styles. Cast from 18 karat gold over Sterling Silver. (1 micron thickness). To protect gold-plating from natural oxidation, a 0. 10 micron palladium plate is applied before the gold-plating process. Palladium is an anti-oxidizing precious metal. Entirely handcrafted in our workshops in the town of Torre del Greco, Italy, our cameos are hand-carved from a special, exquisite porcelain known as 'biscuit', made of the same mineral oxides of the antique cameos carved by Greeks and Romans back to III century B. C. The manufacturing process of our cameos requires high craftsmanship skills and extreme precision: with the aid of a very fine chisel called 'bulino' we bring up the lines of the designs and enhance the harmony of the reliefs, before the cameos are fired up at very high temperatures in order to be finally set in precious metals. Vintouch Cameo Jewellery pieces are extremely resistant and they don’t need any particular attention. By the way, we suggest to avoid to make it in contact with soaps, cosmetics, detergents and chlorine, that could alterate the natural characteristics of the Jewel. When it is not worn, keep your cameo jewellery piece in its bag in order to protect it from natural oxidation. Only if necessary, use a suede cloth and delicately clean the surface of the Jewel. Each one of our jewel is nichel-free and realized in full compliance with the Reach/Rohs directives from UE. Colour: white
