These Majorica earrings are handmade in Mallorca, Spain. They feature a central hand-made pearl and rhodium-plated silver clipbacks. Majorica cherishes the mystery surrounding its pearl-making process but gladly shares an overview. The journey begins with a small nucleus of opaline covered in layers of a protective substance. Immersed in a pearly liquid containing ground-up fish scales, this step imparts the iridescence for which Majorica pearls are famed. This coating process is repeated 30 to 40 times, with pearls dried and polished after each coat to eliminate imperfections. A final coating is applied, followed by treatments like exposure to ultra-violet radiation, gases, and other solutions, ensuring maximum protection, discoloration prevention, and chip resistance. This meticulous process guarantees the longevity of Majorica pearls when cared for correctly.
