Maintenance tips

Jewellery is precious and should be treated with the utmost care. Some precautions are necessary to maintain their beauty and shine:

  • Jewelry does not like cosmetics, humidity in bathroom, sand and sea, playing sports or doing a manual activity (detergents, bleach, ammonia or alcohol).
  • When you are not wearing your jewel, store it in Hekaya case to protect it from any shock or scratches. It is not recommended to store several pieces of jewellery in the same box as they could get scratched by friction.
  • Your jewellery can be cleaned to intensify their shine: rub them with a soft toothbrush and soapy water, then rinse with hot water and dry with soft cloth or with a hair dryer on cold air.

Protected, refined, to give as a gift or wear your selected creation is presented in a protective case with its certificate of authenticity.

Description

This pearl necklace with its delicate tulip pendant draws inspiration from the famous tiles of Iznik. The name "Iznik" refers to  Nicaea, the Anatolian city outside Istanbul, which was the main center of production of high-quality ceramics. Iznik tiles represented the bloom of the Ottoman empire. They were used to decorate the palace of Suleyman the Magnificent and many imperial mosques. Floral patterns were particularly popular in Iznik ceramics, and the tulip, with its elegant, curling petals, was especially common. The tulip was immortalized in Ottoman culture, as a motif widely employed by the imperial workshops during the reign of Suleyman the Magnificent. It had a special symbolic importance and was regarded as the holiest of all flowers. It was the flower of Allah because the letters used in the Ottoman word for tulip (lale لال) are the letters used to write the name of Allah (الله). The tulip also represented the virtue of modesty before Allah because it bows its head when in full bloom. For romantic poets, the tulip represented the cheek of the beloved. 

Featuring four rows of freshwater pearls, a tulip pendant, and four detachable charms, this necklace can be worn in different styles. You can detach the charms and get a more classic look, or wear it funky, leaving the charms as they are or repositioning them according to your taste.
