This pair of earrings is an ode to fall and its colors. It features a pumpkin leaf that was entirely hand-carved in our workshop before being cast in bronze using a copper-tin alloy formulated in-house. A small stone bead, which can be customized via the drop-down menu, completes the set. These earrings will perfectly complement the “Harvest” pendant, available in the same collection.
To ensure we offer you high-quality pieces, our jewelry is lead-, nickel-, and cadmium-free, in accordance with French regulations, which greatly reduces the risk of allergies to costume jewelry.
Did you know?
The metal paste technique originated in Japan in the 1990s. By mixing fine particles of copper and tin with an organic binder, a homogeneous and malleable mixture is obtained. During an initial firing at 400°C, the binder burns off and evaporates. Then, during a second firing at over 800°C, the metal particles fuse together to form pure bronze. This method thus combines contemporary knowledge with traditional jewelry-making techniques, enabling the creation of exceptional and durable pieces.
Today, we formulate our own bronze using a recipe exclusive to Terra Nostra in order to offer you the highest possible quality and complete control over the production of your jewelry at every stage of its design.
Entirely crafted in our small workshop in the Vosges from bronze paste formulated in-house: the piece is sculpted, then cast and fired at over 800° before being patinated, polished, set, and varnished by us. Bronze is a material that evolves and will develop a natural patina over time.
Tip: To restore its original luster, use a special micro-abrasive cloth, such as the one that came with your jewelry, or a soft-bristled metal brush (brass or steel).
IMPORTANT
All of our jewelry is handmade in France, in our workshop in the Vosges. As a result, there may be slight variations from one piece to another, making each piece you choose truly one-of-a-kind.
This piece of jewelry will be delivered to you in a pouch made of recycled and recyclable paper, which protects it while helping to protect the environment. Every little bit counts! You can store your new purchase in its original pouch to protect it from humidity. Otherwise, we encourage you to recycle this packaging so it can be given a second life :)
