Treatment: the magnesite is dyed

Did you know that the vibrant colors of hibiscus flowers have inspired artists and artisans alike for centuries? In some cultures, the petals of the hibiscus flower have been used to create natural dyes, which have been employed in traditional crafts and textiles. Interestingly, these same vibrant hues can also be found in mother of pearl, particularly in its iridescent sheen.

In certain species of mollusks that produce mother of pearl, the layers of nacre can exhibit a stunning array of colors, ranging from pinks and purples to blues and greens. This iridescence is caused by the way light interacts with the microstructure of the nacre layers. Much like the vivid pigments found in hibiscus flowers, the shimmering colors of mother of pearl captivate the eye and add a touch of natural beauty to various objects, from jewelry to decorative items.

So, while hibiscus flowers and mother of pearl may seem worlds apart, they share a common thread in their ability to captivate with their vibrant colors and natural allure.

MATERIALS

Barse Jewelry has made jewelry since 1986 and is based in Dallas, Texas. Barse states that every stone it uses is genuine. Its cast pieces are made by lost-wax casting in its own factory in Thailand, most of them in Barse's golden bronze, an alloy of copper and a small amount of tin that is solid throughout; some pieces are sterling silver or brass. Its beaded pieces are designed in Dallas and handcrafted in Thailand. The description of each piece names its metal, its stones and any treatment the maker states.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Golden bronze: avoid water while wearing it, and keep it in an airtight bag or a jewelry box. Barse applies a protective coating, and over time the bronze may develop a rich patina. To bring back its shine, use a jewelry polishing cloth, or mild detergent with water and a brush. Sterling silver: store it dry and apart from other pieces, and polish it with a cloth made for silver. Genuine stones: keep them away from perfume, lotion and harsh cleaners, and store each piece on its own.
