Three cascading circles — our signature Tiered Trio shape — carry fragments of Giovanni Battista Cavallini’s 1678 nautical chart of the Mediterranean, Portugal, and the northwest coast of Africa. This historic vellum map, held in the Library of Congress, once guided sailors through trade routes and unfamiliar waters.
Across the earrings you’ll glimpse delicate compass roses, flags marking ports, and tiny ships clustered around names like Albano and Alexandria. These details — once charting safe passage — now travel with you as a wearable artifact of exploration and historyA talisman to navigate rocky waters.

Care
Care
Cherish your Folkloric Jewelry with a touch of tender care to maintain its magic and charm. Our pieces are handcrafted using decoupage techniques and sealed to protect the artistry, though they should not be worn in water, such as showers or swimming pools, to preserve their beauty. Sterling silver elements may develop a patina over time and can be revived with a simple polish. Our bronze chain necklaces are treated with a non-tarnishing solution, but to avoid possible reactions with sweat, it's best not to wear them during intense activities. Remember, any small imperfections are part of the unique handcrafted nature of each piece.
