Crown & Heart is the brand name behind Sara Kharatyan's collection of modern ceramic jewelry. Created in 2017, the brand is designed to complement any wardrobe with statement pieces ranging from unique and colorful to simple and classic. Each piece is handmade by Sara in her home studio. The porcelain is cut, dried, and smoothed. Then, each piece is hand painted with a variety of glazes in several layers before being fired. Real 22k gold luster or pearl accents are then added before a second firing. Sara then assembles and packages each piece of jewelry, combining elements of metal, wood, glass, and fibers. Crown & Heart offers a new small batch collection each year, so customers can continue to collect this unique, ooak wearable art. Sara is based in Kansas City, Missouri and works as an elementary school art teacher outside of the studio. She is also a wife and mother to two boys. She is a one-woman business, so please be mindful when placing orders and check the posted lead time. Turn around time can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months depending on the current volume of orders. Porcelain is a light-weight and durable ceramic, but it is breakable. Pieces should be handled and displayed with care, and customers should be advised to treat their new jewelry as they would any other ceramic ware, taking caution not to drop it on hard surfaces. All posts and metals are stainless steel, raw brass, or plated gold. Thank you for supporting my small business
