[Qu Chen Handcrafted] Blue Labradorite Wire-Woven Ring

Blue Labradorite Ring, crafted with pure copper wire. Inner ring diameter is 1.82cm, equivalent to a US size 8.5 (slightly larger than a standard size 8.5, which typically has an inner diameter of 1.8cm). This piece is an extension of a custom ring design, featuring a translucent labradorite with a vibrant blue sheen, approximately 12mm in size. While the setting technique is similar, subtle changes in the wire framework around the stone create a distinct aesthetic. Here, the flowing curves and intricate woven details complement each other harmoniously, showcasing the captivating beauty of wire weaving. (Product photos are taken in natural daylight.

For styling, besides commercially available silver chains, pieces with oxidized sterling silver are also recommended to be paired with stainless steel chains for a harmonious color tone. ❖ Minor nicks or cuts on the wire may occur during the wire weaving process due to handling. These generally do not affect the overall appearance or wearability. ❖ "Artistic Copper Wire" refers to craft wire with a copper core, plating, and protective coating. "Pure Copper Wire" or "Brass Wire" indicates bare copper wire without plating. Silver wire will be specified as 925 or 999 silver. ❖ Natural stones may inherently have characteristics such as inclusions, patterns, or minor chips. Small imperfections may also be present from the drilling or polishing process. ❖ Items are typically shipped with simple, protective packaging, including cushioning materials and a shipping bag, along with a sealed bag for storage. 【Artistic Copper Wire Woven Jewelry】 ❖ Artistic copper wire is a specialized craft wire consisting of a copper core, plating, and a protective layer. With proper use and care, its color can remain vibrant for several years. ❖ Due to the plating and protective layer, please avoid using silver polishing cloths or toothpaste for cleaning, as this can quickly damage the plating. ❖ After wearing, gently wipe the piece with a soft cloth to remove any moisture (especially sweat) and store it in the provided sealed bag. ❖ Please avoid wearing these pieces during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as exercise, or while bathing in hot springs, as this can accelerate wear and potentially damage the natural stones. 【Unplated Copper Wire / Silver Wire Woven Jewelry / Sterling Silver Metalwork Jewelry】 ❖ Unplated copper and silver wires naturally oxidize over time, developing a patina (gradually turning into a vintage bronze or silver hue). The color change and rate of oxidation vary depending on wear and individual body chemistry, which is part of the unique character of these pieces. Pure copper tends to oxidize faster (within days to weeks), while brass and silver oxidize more slowly. ❖ Wire that has undergone a vulcanization (antiquing) process will have a more stable color tone compared to unplated wire. However, polished areas will still naturally oxidize over time. ❖ To clean oxidized areas, you can typically use a silver polishing cloth or gently brush with toothpaste, then dry thoroughly or use a cool hairdryer. ❖ After wearing, wipe the piece with a soft cloth to remove moisture and store it in the provided sealed bag. ❖ Please avoid wearing these pieces during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as exercise, or while bathing in hot springs, as this can accelerate oxidation and potentially damage the natural stones. ❖ Pieces made with unplated wire can be sent back for re-polishing at a later date (only return shipping fees will apply). 【Natural Stones】 ❖ Natural gemstones may inherently have inclusions, patterns, mineral spots, or black dots. Minor imperfections may also be present from the drilling or polishing process. ❖ The natural stones used in these pieces are mostly semi-precious. Some stone types may have lower hardness (this will be noted specifically). Please try to avoid contact with abrasive polishing agents like silver polishing cloths or toothpaste when cleaning the metal components of your jewelry. ❖ Please avoid wearing these pieces during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as exercise, or while bathing in hot springs, as this may damage the natural stones.
