PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY BEFORE PURCHASING

Let yourself be seduced by this delicate Japanese umbrella ( wagasa) which protects a representation of the Venus of Willendorf in raku ceramic, a symbol of timeless grace. The wagasa offers this precious figure an intimate sanctuary, sheltered from view and time.

Inspired by haikus, the umbrella evokes a gentle refuge, where light transforms into soothing darkness. As Junichirō Tanizaki points out, "There is a special beauty in the darkness of an umbrella."

This shelter serves more than just a protective function. It also embodies a spiritual symbol, representing the infinite wisdom of the Buddha. The circular motif, inspired by an ancient Mesopotamian symbol, evokes the protection of home and family.

Small silver links unfold like climbing ivy all around, forming a curtain and recalling the headdress of the Lady of Brassempouy, a statuette dating from the Paleolithic period discovered in France.

These earrings are adorned with black pearls and raku ceramic Venuses, carefully waxed with shea oil for durability.

Guardian Characteristics:

  • Total weight Silver: 37.87 gr > 18.94 gr. per ear . Perfect for lovers of imposing earrings! For novices, it is better to abstain!
  • Height of pendants: 6 cm
  • Diameter of the Umbrellas: 3.5 cm
  • Secure 925 silver clasps
  • Ivy curtains reinforced by welds between stems and washers, as well as at the intersections of the stems to prevent them from mixing with each other, thus ensuring the stability of the Venus and the earrings.
  • Venus and Black Pearls in raku ceramic from Atelier LaceAndClay
  • The silver has been oxidized, ensuring its stability; Finishes with a brass brush.
  • Punch

Embrace this timeless Venus, the perfect fusion of past and present, and let her make you the third guardian of time.

Materials

Most of my jewelry is made of 925 or 950 silver, set with gems, and bear the maker's mark.
The pieces in the Refashion collection, for their part, are not made of precious metal and are not hallmarked: they are composed from pieces chosen from old, second-hand jewelry, the composition of the metal of which is unknown to me, and to which I give a new lease of life, a second life.

Each creation is part of a story, faithful to the spirit of my creative impulses. Please read the MOHS mini guide for gem care.

Shipping & Returns

Care instructions

Avoid storing your jewelry in the bathroom to prevent moisture from oxidizing it. Clean the jewelry and its gemstone with warm, soapy water using a soft toothbrush and dry them thoroughly with paper towels to avoid scratching them. Avoid wearing your jewelry at night to avoid damaging it. You can use the provided polishing cloth to restore shine (except on oxidized silver).
