The porcelain pieces found in ANDRESGALLARDO jewels and handbags are made by craftsmen in Spain and Portugal, rescuing traditional processes based on high quality standards.

We develop plaster casts (moulds) for the porcelain figures that are painted and enameled by hand then heated at the kilm. Some pieces require to be heated up to three times depending on colors or finishings. This is only a brief resume of the complicated and -sometimes- mysterious processes involved in porcelain making.

This means that you may find differences between pieces of the same style such as size or colour; that are just the warranty of a handcrafted work.

CARE

We recommend you to store your jewellery piece separately and in its original packaging to avoid damages or scratches on the porcelain figures.

Our jewelry pieces can be made of: 18K Gold Plated Brass (2 microns), Silver Plated Brass or Sterling Silver.

 In every case the metals used are in compliance with international metal composition jewelry regulations. They are always lead and nickel free. 

CARE

The silver and gold patina fades over time, this is a normal phenomenon resulting from wear and tear. The speed of this natural process depends on the way the jewelry is taken care of.

We do not recommend you to wear jewellery when you sleep, swim or practice sports. We recommend you to avoid contact with perfume and make-up.

Our handbags and leather goods are manufactured in Ubrique, Spain, famous for its ancient tradition of leather goods. They are made with the finest Spanish leathers, handpainted edges and suede or cotton linning.
