Description Stick: Round Pernambuco Tip: Faux ivory Lap: Silver and silk Thumbgrip: Leather Frog: Ebony Mountings: Silver Eye: Mother-of-Pearl in silver circle Slide: Mother-of-Pearl Button: Silver with ebony band Stamp: J.Thibouville-Lamy Weight: 82g J. Thibouville-Lamy ‘TLBC2’ Cello bows are true ‘Master Archetier’ pieces honouring the expertise of famed Mirecourt bow-maker Joseph Alfred Lamy (Lamy Père’), with this particular model using beautiful ‘striped’ lapping. Each bow blank is selected from a coveted stock of the finest 20-year seasoned Pernambuco which is first tested for resonance and elasticity using a Lucchi Meter. Only blanks achieving a rating over 5300 make the necessary grade for J.Thibouville-Lamy bows, with pieces of this resonant quality being few and far between. This meticulous grading process ensures that only the very finest sticks are selected for our very finest bows. Bow frogs are cut from fine Burmese Ebony and hand-finished with ‘925’ sterling silver fittings; the grips are made of the softest leather and wound with ‘925’ Silver wire; and the bow hair is unbleached, Mongolian horsetail, prized for its thickness and strength. Each of the J.Thibouville-Lamy bows is handmade by a Master Luthier in Suzhou, China and supplied in a presentation box with a certificate of authenticity.  – About Joseph Alfred Lamy: Joseph Alfred Lamy – commonly referred to as ‘Père Lamy or Lamy Père’ and whose bows were originally stamped ‘LAMY A PARIS’ – was born in Mirecourt in 1850. From a young age Joseph apprenticed in this most respected of bow-making locations until, in his late 20s, going to work as an assistant to Francois Nicolas Voirin in his Paris workshops. In 1885, upon the death of Voirin, Joseph Alfred Lamy started his own workshop at 34 rue de Faubourg Poissoniere. Lamy Père came from a great period in French bow-making, receiving both Gold and Silver medals for his work at the Paris Exposition in 1889. Just like Francois Voirin, Joseph Lamy was influenced by Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume’s style and design aspirations, and sought to build strong, weighty bows by increasing the volume of the stick and the frog. ‘Lamy Père’ strongly influenced the work of Eugene Sartory as well as his own son, Hippolyte Camille Lamy, ‘Lamy-fils’.

With proper care, your pearl jewelry will maintain its beauty for generations. Follow these simple guidelines to keep your pearls lustrous and elegant.

Daily Care

  • Put pearls on last when dressing - after makeup, perfume, and hairspray
  • Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth after each wearing to remove body oils
  • Avoid contact with cosmetics, perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays
  • Remove pearls before swimming, showering, or exercising
  • Don't wear pearls while applying makeup or styling hair

Storage

  • Store separately from other jewelry to prevent scratching
  • Use the soft pouch provided with your purchase
  • Keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources
  • Avoid plastic bags - pearls need to breathe
  • Store flat for necklaces to prevent stretching
  • Keep in a cool, dry place with some humidity

Cleaning

  • Use only a soft, damp cloth - microfiber or cotton
  • Never use ultrasonic cleaners or steam cleaners
  • Avoid harsh chemicals, detergents, and abrasive cleaners
  • Don't soak pearls in water or cleaning solutions
  • Let air dry completely before storing

Pro Tip

Wearing your pearls regularly actually helps maintain their luster! The natural oils from your skin keep pearls hydrated and beautiful.

Things to Avoid

  • Chlorine (swimming pools) - damages pearl luster
  • Salt water - can dry out and damage pearls
  • Vinegar, lemon juice, or other acids
  • Hair spray and perfume - contains alcohol and chemicals
  • Excessive heat and direct sunlight
  • Storing in a safe deposit box for long periods (too dry)
