Toilet Paper Necklace
Dear friends,
today we want to introduce you to the deluxe toilet roll necklace. The small roll is made of silver and gold-plated. All components are made from 100% recycled material and were made in our factory in Hamburg.
Logbook entry, sidereal time 2305.
I sit at the window and look out at the fields. Outside they build big mountains of toilet paper. As every year, large piles of toilet paper are burned at the Corona Festival and all residents come together and throw roles in the fires! This is how the celebrations begin. All over the world, people celebrate the Corona Month. Then everything stops for a month. I look at my hand holding a pendant that my great, great, great grandfather made at the time of the global pandemic. A simple pendant, made of silver, which was once gold-plated, but the gold-plating has faded over the centuries. What must it have been, back then, in 2020. From one day to the next, everything came to a standstill. At first only with a few, but the effects ultimately affected everyone. They were very afraid that there would be another world war. Millions were unemployed. Without hope. The breeding ground for demagogues was prepared like never before. Tensions grew day by day. Those who still had something simply lived on as before. But they were also beginning to realize what should they do with a world, without small shops, without small bars, without lateral thinkers, without artists, without hope? The displeasure of those who had lost everything without guilt grew day by day. Even with government aid, the incredible cultural gap that had arisen could not be filled. Right-wing ideologies and hate preachers are springing up all over the world like mushrooms. And just before the all-devastating war between rich and poor could happen there was a rethink everywhere. All borders were opened, all assets were shared, all the weak were helped and it was no longer about being the best, it was about saving the earth and living together in peace.
All work, energy supply, food, concerts, bars, goods, art, travel – everything was made accessible to everyone. Don’t ask me how that could be done, but money was abolished. It just didn’t matter anymore! All debts were canceled, schools were built, everything was shared. Rich and poor no longer matter in 2305, stars have become superfluous, because everyone is a star who helps others. We live in a community of solidarity which has set itself the task that all people are finally the same. There are no limits, no possessions, no work – we do everything for everyone. So that’s how I sit here, holding the toilet roll in my hand, tightly enclosed, taking a deep sip from my glass and happily walking out onto the street with the others. We laugh, drink, dance, and love. I wake up and the morning sun shines through my window. Everything is quiet. I dreamed. I open my laptop and check for the latest news, the number of infected people finally declines somewhat after weeks. Hope spreads. The sun rises and my neighbor across the street waves to me from his isolation. I wave back.
We pay great attention to the quality of our products! In order to present you with a great variety of colors and content, we use various techniques of goldsmithing. Since we want you to enjoy your piece of jewelry for a long time, we recommend to read and follow our care instructions.
- Remove your jewelry before washing your hands, perfuming or moisturizing. The particles of these cosmetics, which can not be removed by short washing, can be deposited in hard-to-reach areas and become a corrosive mixture which can lead to premature wear of the metal in the long term.
- This also applies to the use of household cleaners.
- Avoid contact with salt water. This can attack both precious stones as well as precious metals and thereby sustainably damage.
- Avoid impacts and scratches.
- Always keep your jewelery in the original boxes. Store chains closed and lying flat.
- Special care must be taken with pieces with fire-embers, since fire-seals are melted glass, which can break through an improper treatment.
- Gold cladding may wear out over time, depending on the load. This is a natural process which, however, can be avoided by appropriate treatment (see above).
Since sustainability is a very important topic for us, we only use recycled precious metals (gold, silver, brass), which we obtain from a Scheideanstalt in the southern part of Germany. For more information feel free to contact our customer service.
Fire enamel or “real enamel” is a natural product of melted glass, which develops a very special charm through its delicate and slightly irregular color, which results from the burning at high temperatures, which can only produce true enamel. Kaltemaille is a synthetic resin mixed with color pigments which hardens without heating.
We receive our diamonds from Germany’s oldest diamond grinding mill, which basically only imports diamonds from legitimate sources of natural origin and is in line with UN resolutions 1171, 1173, 1306 and 1343.
The complete production is located in Germany. All products (jewelry) are designed and produced in our manufacture in Hamburg. Since the issue of sustainability is very important to us, we only work with a small warehouse and prefer to manufacture our jewelry on demand in order to conserve resources and to remain exclusive. Exceptions are some products that we do not produce ourselves but continue to distribute in a cooperation. Corresponding information about the country of origin can always be found on the product page under the item “Product details".
