WHY WE LOVE PORCELAIN!

Basically, we love Porcelain, it has so many amazing qualities. It’s smooth, beautifully white and glows translucent under the light. Porcelain has a glass gem-like feel once it’s been fired at a high temperature. Porcelain is perfect for jewellery because:

• Hardwearing - Porcelain is exceptionally strong, close to the diamond in hardness! It’s scratch-resistant and hardwearing, so can be used daily over many years without losing its initial beauty.

• Lightweight - Porcelain makes any jewellery comfortable and easy to wear, due to it being extremely lightweight.

• Hypoallergenic - Porcelain is also hypoallergenic, therefore non-irritating (whoop, whoop!) A great choice for those who are allergic to metals.

• Easy to Maintain - Porcelain is resistant to acid, so doesn’t tarnish like metals. It’s easy to keep clean, just wipe over with a damp cloth to keep looking like new!
