PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY BEFORE PURCHASING

This pair of earrings is a unique creation, created from carefully selected pieces from antique jewelry, recovered and carefully transformed:

  • Two blue glass paste pendants from an old necklace bought from a lady at a flea market , who had herself acquired it in Essaouira during her vacation.
  • Two cultured pearls , taken from an old necklace of my grandmother.
  • Tassels from an old Indian necklace , bringing movement and elegance to the whole.

I wanted to give new life to these elements by creating earrings that are both simple and refined. Their shape reminds me of stethoscopes, hence their name.

The ear clips are made of 925 silver and are not soldered to the elements hanging from them, in accordance with French law prohibiting the soldering of precious metals to non-precious materials. I had fun twisting 316L stainless steel rods, as I usually like to do with silver, in order to attach pearls and tassels.

The elements are deliberately swapped between the two loops, while maintaining an identical length.

To ensure their durability and protect them from humidity, I completely varnished the brass setting as well as the top of the glass paste with Zapon lacquer .

Characteristics of Stetos

  • Total weight: 8.57 gr > 4.28 gr by ear
  • Length (with fasteners): 6.5 cm
  • Width of the blue setting: 1.2 cm
  • 950 Silver fasteners ( 2.11 gr. of Silver )

Interview

The recycled materials used for this pair of earrings are sensitive to water, salt, and chlorine. Although 316L stainless steel is hypoallergenic, it can, over time and in case of frequent contact with water, show traces of rust.

To preserve their shine, store your earrings in a dry place. Clean only the silver hook using a disinfectant cotton pad if necessary.

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.
