Cartaxo is located along the Tejo River near Santarém. It was first given authorization by D. Dinis to become a municipality in 1312! The town center is full of lovely old homes covered in colorful tiles.

The earrings are 1.2 cm square. They are SOLID Stainless Steel and they will come in a gift box.

+ Please note that some of our items will come with a tag stating "Return only accepted if tag is attached". There are no exceptions to this policy.

All my tiles are replicas made of polymer clay where the image actually becomes part of the clay through baking. No glue is used in the process. The pieces become waterproof and scratch resistant. Due to the handmade and hand shaped nature of each tile, slight variations will occur, as no two pieces are alike.

Please feel free to email me with any questions you may have.

Thank you,
Atrio

🌺ATTENTION: There is a 5% RESTOCKING fee per item PLUS a $3.50 fee for returned items.

QUESTION: Are your tiles real antique Portuguese azulejo tiles?

ANSWER: Absolutely not. In our description of each item, we try to call attention to the theft and destruction of antique Portuguese tiles. Even the tiles found in flea markets and antique stores were most likely stolen off a building during the night. We have seen entire home facades disappear during the night to thieves. Thankfully, Portugal just passed a law declaring this theft a crime. We can only hope that it will one day be enforced.

For this reason, we have no part in this despicable crime. We make our own tiles from polymer clay. Ceramic would be far too heavy for earrings and impossible to mold into the shapes we want. For the hoops, we mold the clay as thin as we can get it, so that it will look pretty inside the hoops.
