You might wonder...

What is an ear cuff? Can I wear it without fear to lose it?

An ear cuff is a no-pierce earring that is worn around the outer edge of your ear.
It simply slips over the cartilage and gives a similar look to that of a helix or snug piercing.
To wear it pull your ear taught and slip the cuff over the thinnest part of the cartilage, on the outside of your ear. Slide the ear cuff down and rotate towards the inner ear until you have found a position that looks good and feels comfortable.
If you find the right position, you will not lose it!

How is Devi Petti production sustainable?

No waste and good materials!
In the production Devi minimizes waste, making the pieces exclusively on request
The packaging of her creations is entirely handmade with FSC certified paper.

The meaning of a romantic name “cire perdue”

During the melting process, the wax is melted and poured away to make way for the metal, in other words it sacrifices itself for the love of the metal. With each wax can be made into a single piece, it is a monogamous love.

Once the delicate wax is transformed into vigorous metal, the piece is cleaned and finished to the finest detail.
