Tips and Advices
The conservation of flowers
- To keep your flowers fresh and prevent them from fading, add or refresh the vase’s water every day.
- You can and are encouraged to cut 1 or 2 centimetres off the tip of them stem as soon at reception of the bouquet.
- Maintain ambient temperature in their surroundings and avoid exposing them directly to sunlight.
- By following this advice, you will extend the flower’s lifespan by a week or more, depending on their kind.
Dry your flowers
This step consists of eliminating all dampness or water particle from the inside of the flowers before they begin to deteriorate. The flower’s colour will inevitably darken in its final stage. This is a normal result of the oxidation process. We also notify you that you have the possibility of obtaining a black pearl if you wish. We are able to obtain this tint simply by letting the flower oxidize naturally.
Our technique: Detach each petal and place it on a flat surface. To avoid damaging the petals, use both hands, one to hold the flower and the other to remove the petal entirely from the stem.
*In all cases, place your flowers or petals in a paper bag. Avoid placing the petals in a plastic bag and container, even one made of glass. This will trigger the moisture process of the flowers and render them unusable.

Always send your flowers in a box or a paper envelope, never in any plastic recipient. Shipping with a box is your best bet for the flower can remain whole.
- Finally, if you have a preference, make sure you identify the flower colour to the piece of jewellery you desire. Remember that the pearl will be the colour of your completely dry flower.
