Lemon, a sunny fruit at the heart of a creole earring

The lemon, with its bright yellow color and invigorating fragrance, has a rich and fascinating history. Native to the foothills of the Himalayas, this tangy fruit traveled across Asia to the Mediterranean via trade routes. Cultivated since ancient times, it was prized not only for its medicinal qualities, but also for its rarity, which made it a symbol of wealth and status.

In the Middle Ages, lemon was considered a remedy for poisons and diseases, and it was often used in apothecaries' potions. But it was during the Renaissance that it experienced its moment of glory in Europe. At that time, Italian and French nobles used it to perfume their banquets or decorate their tables, a symbol of refinement and luxury.

An anecdote tells that in the 18th century, a British ship captain, James Cook, made lemon his ally to protect his crew against scurvy, a disease caused by a lack of vitamin C. Thanks to this discovery, lemon became a must-have for maritime expeditions and a real health treasure.

It is in homage to this solar fruit, both modest and precious, that Ciléa Bijoux created the Botanica lemon earring. Handmade in our Breton workshop, these earrings capture the essence of lemon through their vibrant hues and elegant design. They evoke the freshness and vitality of this fruit that has spanned the centuries, inspiring artists and explorers.

Care guide for your lemon earring

To keep your resin and gold-plated hoop earrings looking shiny and in perfect condition, follow these simple tips:

1. Avoid exposure to moisture: Store your creole earrings in a dry place and avoid wearing them during aquatic activities (swimming pool, sea, etc.).
2. Leave chemicals aside: Avoid contact with cosmetics, perfumes or household products, as this may alter the finish of the gold plating and the color of the resin.
3. Gentle cleaning: To clean your hoop earrings, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust. If necessary, a cloth slightly dampened with water can be used, but be sure to dry thoroughly afterwards.
4. Proper storage: When you are not wearing your hoop earrings, keep them in their box or a soft pouch to protect them from scratches and oxidation.
5. Delicate handling: When putting on and taking off your hoop earrings, handle them with care to avoid bending or knocking them.

By following these tips, your lemon hoop earrings will stay beautiful and sparkling, ready to bring a touch of freshness to your style!
