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.

These beautiful Threader Earrings measure 1.75" and are Super lightweight. Stainless Steel. The width is 6mm. Lovely! They will come in a gift box. They are STAINLESS STEEL!

QUESTION: What kind of metal is it?
ANSWER: SOLID STAINLESS STEEL
If it is gold tone, it has a real gold wash. It is not gold plated. Stainless steel is hypoallergenic and nickel free.

Conquered in 1147, Lisbon is the lovely capital of Portugal with its old cobblestone roads and beautiful tiles.

These tiles are a replica of the amazing Delft tiles that cover the walls of this famous Pasteleria which dates back to 1837, called Pasteis de Belem. If you ever go to Lisbon, you must try their delicious warm custard pastries and wash them down with a "bica" or an espresso.

These beautiful hoops come in two different sizes. They are stainless steel, hypoallergenic and lightweight. They will come in a gift box.

The term Azulejo or Tile dates back to the time of Arab occupation of the Iberian Peninsula. The term "azulejo is derived from the Arab word (al zulej) which means a smooth and polished stone. It wasn't until the 16th century that the process was perfected into the tile we know today.

Although the tiles are water resistant, care should be taken to keep the tiles and metal out of water and away from lotions, including cosmetics, sunscreen, hairspray, etc. The chemicals in these products will dull the finish on the tiles.

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.
