ON
SHOW WILL BE the first two examples of our new, original
and handcrafted "Petals" range of pearl
jewellery.
Petals is an organic design, based around the pearls
themselves. We currently have these two rings completed, with more
pieces on the way.
We're very excited about this, as it's a new artistic
direction
for us that is finally taking shape.
See our catalogue
for the items on sale in the Manningham Gallery. (If this link to
the catalogue doesn't work, please email
me and I'll send you the PDF.) |

Tip for caring for pearl
jewellery
Something you may not know is that pearls are usually fixed into
place on pieces of jewellery using water-soluble glue. This is so
that if any repairs or adjustments need to be made to the piece,
the pearl can be safely removed before the work is started. (Super
glue would make this impossible and may cause irreparable damage
to the pearl.)
Of course, what this means for you as the wearer is that you should
minimise the contact of your pearl jewellery with hot water which
may weaken the glue that is holding your precious pearl in place.
