Ethically sourced, Buffalo horns that are discarded from the food industry & deadstock in Vietnam are used. As a sign of respect to the buffalo, nothing of the creature is wasted. No chemicals are used. Using only heat and oil — a Vietnamese craftsmanship that dates back 400 years — the horns are flattened into plates, then cut and polished using water. Just to remind again, these water buffalo are never killed just for their horns as it is a left over from the food industry.  The crafting of jewelry from a buffalo’s remains is a tradition that goes back for generations in Asia. Each piece of natural horn has its own color/pattern variation which makes it unique.

JEWELRY CARE:

Natural Stone Variations: Natural stones in jewelry can have tiny flaws, which are part of their unique character. Additionally, the cutting and polishing process may lead to variations in color and size among gemstones. These differences add to the charm of each piece, making them one-of-a-kind.

Color Discrepancies: The actual color of your jewelry may appear slightly different from what you see in photographs. This difference can be attributed to various factors, such as lighting conditions and variations in computer monitor screens. It’s important to be aware of these potential color variations, even though the jeweler may not be responsible for them.

Avoid Water and Chemicals: To maintain the integrity of your jewelry, it’s advisable to avoid wearing it while showering or in environments like swimming pools and hot tubs, which can expose it to chlorine. In addition, you should keep your jewelry away from harsh detergents, hairspray, and perfumes, as these substances can affect its quality over time.

Caring for Brass Components: Brass has a warm and beautiful tone that complements many stones. To keep your brass jewelry in good condition, it’s good practice to wipe it with a soft cloth after wearing it. This helps remove any body oils or residues. Storing brass jewelry in a plastic bag is a protective measure, and you can enhance its protection by including an anti-tarnish strip in the bag. If your brass jewelry loses its shine due to tarnish, a simple solution is to wipe it with a jewelry cloth to restore its luster.

By following these care guidelines, you can ensure that your jewelry remains in excellent condition, preserving its beauty and uniqueness for years to come.
