Danu is an Irish brand based in Dublin, making beautiful and unique handmade pieces from clay and other natural materials. These pieces are handmade from white porcelain, glazed in a wedgewood blue glaze and adorned with hand-painted genuine 22k gold lustre accents.Please note that as this is a handmade item, it may show signs of being so. It will vary very slightly from the image shown, ensuring your piece is always one of a kind, and not made in a factory.  They are strung on an 16''  chain, with a 2'' extension to make it 18'' also. Each piece comes in our gorgeous custom packaging.  *What is 'Gold Filled'? Gold filled is a layer of gold-pressure bonded to another metal. Gold filled is not to be confused with gold plating as filled has 100% more gold than gold plating. Gold filled is more valuable and more tarnish resistant. Anyone who can wear gold jewellery can wear gold filled without worries of any allergic reaction to the jewellery - it's a more economical alternative to solid gold. Danu Ceramics use gold plated brass chains for their handmade jewellery.The chain can be easily reshined using ketchup or lemon juice, and is very strong and robust.This ensures that your jewellery will last a lifetime - keeping the warm, gold colour of the chain, as well as being very affordable. Clean the porcelain with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water.
