THE CLOVE EARRINGS
The creation of the Clove earrings was a delightful surprise, sparked by a spontaneous burst of creativity with my tools, much like the genesis of the Cassia earrings. What initially began as playful experimentation swiftly blossomed into an enchanting love affair as I witnessed the stunning outcome. These earrings quickly captured my heart with their unmatched beauty and captivating charm, swiftly earning their place as a cherished addition to my collection.
Fashioned with genuine freshwater pearls and gleaming 14k gold-filled materials, the Clove earrings emanate an irresistible allure. Their intricate design not only commands attention in its own right but also harmonises flawlessly when paired with the Eleia earrings. Offered as a complementary pair, these earrings serve as a testament to the beauty found in serendipitous moments and the joy of unexpected discoveries. They stand as a reminder of the magical journey that unfolds when creativity meets chance, enriching our lives with moments of pure delight and wonder.
Sustainability
At Isabella Grace, sustainability is our cornerstone. Having experienced firsthand the staggering amount of waste generated in retail, I was driven to make a change. In many retail establishments, each clothing item was unnecessarily wrapped in multiple layers of plastic, only to be disposed of in yet more plastic bags, all behind the scenes, away from the customers' view.
This discrepancy between the outward image of sustainability and the actual practices ignited a passion within me to do better. From the initial sketches to the final product, every step of our process prioritises sustainability. Our sketching process begins on recycled note paper sourced from a local small business. Additionally, all our jewellery findings are delivered in paper bags, a result of our dedicated collaboration with a supplier over two years.
Furthermore, each order is carefully packaged in biodegradable cardboard boxes and pouches. We firmly believe that while individual actions may seem small, the collective impact of thousands of these small changes can lead to meaningful transformation. At Isabella Grace, we are committed to making that change happen, one sustainable decision at a time.
Care
Pearls
Freshwater pearls retain their lustrous shine with proper care. Gently wipe them with a soft cloth before storing to maintain their brilliance. To prevent scratches, store them separately from other jewellery pieces in a soft cloth pouch. Wearing pearls regularly helps prevent them from drying out; they benefit from the natural oils of your skin. However, it's advisable to avoid excessive sweating. Pearls are naturally formed in pristine waters so they are okay to be worn in natural waters.
Gold Filled- Using a soft cloth: Gold filled pieces can be cleaned with a soft cloth easily. A soft cloth won’t scratch or be rough on the surface. Make sure to never leave chemical residues on your gold-filled pieces. Always wash them and polish again with a soft cloth to remove any excess of cleaning products.
Mild soapy water and a toothbrush: Using a mild soap and a child’s soft brush can be a good combination for perfectly doing the cleaning job for the gold pieces. The mild soap can remove dirt residue from the pieces using the toothbrush. Make sure the toothbrush is very soft, or it might scratch the pieces. (Not suitable for pearl and gem jewellery.) Avoid having your pieces come into contact with chlorine, perfumes or fake tan.
