Humphrey earrings Alpine heart stainless steel

19x17mm , matt-polished, Akoya pearl 8mm , white

The Humphrey hearts from the Alps - affectionately called Alpine hearts - were designed by Norbert Muerrle. They are cool, sexy, attractive, desirable and chic. The earrings have a matte surface on one side and a shiny surface on the other.

Inside the hearts are white Akoya cultured pearls 8mm large, which move with every movement. The pearls, which are perfectly round and have a very beautiful luster, make the heart very noble and particularly interesting.

The ear hooks were also developed with our in-house designer Norbert Muerrle. These hooks can be worn with or without ear pendants. The end is a stainless steel ball. The hooks have a left and a right side. The ball ideally points away from the ear.

Humphrey offers a 2-year guarantee on jewellery when treated properly. However, the lifespan is unlimited. Most of the jewellery ever produced by Humphrey is still worn.

Humphrey's Akoya pearls:

The country of origin of the Akoya pearl is Japan. Akoya pearls reach a size of 3 to 11mm . Growth is very slow, about 0.15 – 0.3mm per year. The pearls should have a layer of 0.6mm and can therefore only be harvested after about 4 years.

The following criteria must be met for HUMPHREY:

Color: Akoya pearls are generally white. In the case of gray pearls, these are treated.

Luster: The luster of the Akoya pearl is very pronounced and depends on the thickness of the pearl.

Shape: The shape of Akoya pearls is usually round. For Humphrey jewelry, it must be perfectly round and have a flawless surface.

Size: The pearl must match the size of the stainless steel jewelry and therefore be very precise in diameter.

The HUMPHREY jewelry wearer can therefore be sure that she owns a special piece of jewelry.

Dangers to the pearls:

Pearls are due to their chemical compositionmm sensitive to chemical and physical influences (e.g. they should be removed for showering and washing hair)mm en).

They consist mainly of calcium carbonate and the organic horn substance conchyne.

Pearls are sensitive to extreme heat, dryness and moisture.

Care of the pearls:

There are special cleaning baths for this purpose that are mild. Pearls should not be cleaned in ultrasound if possible.

You can clean the pearls yourself from time to time in a simple way. Put the pearl in a bath of lukewarm water with a splash of mild detergent and a little alcohol and brush gently. Then rinse the pearl with clean water and dry it with a soft cloth. Every two to three years you can gently rub the pearl with lanolin.

A piece of jewellery from Humphrey is something special and will bring joy on many days and for a lifetime!
