A rare Parisian glass bead from the late 19th century pressed with the narcissus flower, known in apothecary traditions as a natural balm for grief and melancholy. Syrups and poultices made from the bulbs and blooms were once prescribed to soften sorrow and soothe wounds. Toxic in excess yet healing in measure, the Narcissus embodies the pharmakon - both poison and remedy.
Fine jewelry is meant to be worn, and over time, 14k gold will develop a natural patina — minor surface wear that speaks to use, not diminishment. Keep your piece away from harsh chemicals, including chlorine, hairspray, and lotions, and store it in its box when not in use. To clean, use warm water with a soft-bristle brush, or our jewelry cleaner for additional shine— and note that pearls, turquoise, and Ethiopian opals should never be submerged or placed in an ultrasonic cleaner.
