Les cierges errants - Recycled Silver

Regular price 350 €
Material:

Around marshes, rivers, and ponds bathed in moonlight, flickering lights sometimes float. They are the sign of a creature similar to a moth that amuses itself by leading travellers astray while brandishing a piece of burning wood. Sometimes they take the form of candles floating in the damp air of waterways.

The Les cierges errants medallion depicts a candle whose wick transforms into aquatic swirls and algae. It is surrounded by silhouettes of fish that seem to dive into the waves.

In popular Breton folklore, the spirits of the dead were closely linked to those of the living. This procession of souls, called Anaon, filled everyday life and roamed freely through fields, deserted paths, and houses. Its presence required rituals intended not to disrupt their procession and to ensure their goodwill.

Care

Gold plating refers to a piece of jewellery made from a brass base coated with a layer of gold at least 3 microns thick, applied by electroplating. All Fontennoy rings are plated with a 5-micron layer of 23-carat gold.

Like any surface finish, gold plating requires special care to preserve its shine over time. We recommend removing your jewellery before washing, exercising, or using household cleaning or cosmetic products.

This finish will soon be removed from the website in favour of vermeil.

Vermeil is a precious metal made from a 925 silver base coated with a layer of gold at least 5 microns thick, applied by electroplating.

Like any surface finish, vermeil requires special care to preserve its shine over time. We recommend removing your jewellery before washing, exercising, or using household cleaning or cosmetic products.

The plating work is entrusted to an expert based in the Doubs region, who ensures that the process incorporates up to 70% recycled gold.

All vermeil pieces are plated with a 5-micron layer of 23-carat gold over a recycled 925 silver base and stamped with a small V.

Fontennoy necklace chains all measure 45 cm in length. If you would like a different length, contact me .
