This pendant is inspired by a Japanese Inro by Kakosai between 1850 and 1900. The original had a gold lacquer inlaid with pearl shell, horn and stained ivory. The Inro was a container used by Japanese men because the traditional kimono had no pockets and the Inro could hold items such as their seal and ink, or medical supplies.
We wish for you to enjoy your jewellery for as long as possible, and therefore recommend you read the following care instructions.
Please do not expose the jewellery to harsh chemicals, extreme temperatures or sunlight for a prolonged period.
Please make sure to apply cosmetics, perfume and hairspray prior to putting on the jewellery to avoid possible blemishing and discolouration.
Do remove the jewellery when performing any activity which may cause damage to the product, e.g. exercising, showering or performing household tasks.
Store each piece of jewellery separately as constant brushing together can damage the finish.
Acid in your skin and fragrances can attack the plated finish and so from time to time you should gently wash the items in your hands with warm soapy water.
Do not use brushes or cloths. Rinse in warm water and dry carefully.
Avoid using Ultrasonic jewellery cleaner which can dislodge the stones.
