The little story
In the time of the Amerindians, the Lambi (conch) was used to signal the arrival of a canoe or to call for help at sea.
Thus, in the 18th century, this seashell became a symbol of fertility but also of freedom.

Manufacturing
I designed and handcrafted the prototype of my pattern by sawing it from a brass plate.
A small series is then produced by chemical etching.
In my workshop, I perform all the soldering with a torch. Once the jewelry is finished, it is sent to my Parisian gilder who applies the gold or silver finishes.
Once this step is complete, all that remains is to assemble the patterns.
Costume jewelry doesn't like water, I advise you to take it off in the shower, at the sea or in the swimming pool.
As silver jewelry is covered with a layer of real silver, it can oxidize slightly, so that it regains its shine, it's easy to rub it gently with a little lemon juice on a soft cloth.
You can also use products made for silverware always on a soft cloth.
For gold jewellery, a small bath of a few minutes in white vinegar, and rinsing with water, followed by drying with a soft cloth will suffice.

You have 14 days after receipt to return the item in its original packaging. To arrange a return, please contact us via the contact form.
My jewelry is carefully checked before shipping. If a ring comes loose, or if a clasp or an earring backing breaks, we will repair it free of charge for 12 months after the purchase date.
For issues with soldering, these cannot be redone on a finished piece of jewelry (the heat from the torch would damage the item).
If the solder breaks very quickly, we will consider it a manufacturing defect, and you will have a maximum of two months to return an item if a solder joint gives way. Beyond that, the exchange would be charged.
In all cases, please send us photos of the defective item before returning it.
