Inspired by 19th century marble window screens, these earrings echo the intricacy of the hand-carving, and the transparent enamel evokes a delicate window pattern. This design was the winner in the Costume Jewellery section of the Ancestors/V&A Student Jewellery Design Competition 2009 and was created by Sarah Spalding of Duncan of Jordanstone College, University of Dundee.
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.
