16-inch necklace with terra cotta butterfly ceramic pendant handmade in Montreal, lace pattern, stainless steel chain

1. I shape and air-dry the earthenware.
2. I do a first firing in a specialized oven, called a kiln, to produce the "biscuit".
3. I decorate and glaze the piece, then I do a second firing.

Each firing takes up to 5 hours and reaches 1000ºC. That's a lot hotter than your kitchen oven!

Earthenware is a little less resistant to breakage than terracotta.

Wear it and store it with care.

I will be pleased to tailor my products to your needs! For most products, I can:

• Replace nickel-free metal findings with hypo allergenic stainless steel ones
• Replace animal leather cords with cork cords
• Modify the length of necklaces or earrings

Please allow 2 days to customize your product once I accept your request in writing.
