[Qu Shui Chen Handmade] Larimar Sterling Silver Pendant

Larimar (Blue Pectolite) Pendant, crafted with 925 sterling silver (with some 999 silver accents). Overall dimensions (L x W): 65 x 45mm. Hibiscus flowers evoke a strong sense of summer for me, instantly bringing to mind the blue skies and sea of Okinawa, and the hibiscus blooming by the roadside. It also reminds me of images in paintings or photographs of long-haired girls with hibiscus tucked behind their ears. Thus, this piece centers around a piece of the ocean I cherish from my collection of Larimar. The flowing curves, the ebb and flow of waves and currents, the gentle caress of a sea breeze, or the long hair of a girl adorned with a summer bloom tucked to the side—these are my beautiful summer memories, which I humbly share with you through this creation. ❖ Product photos are mostly taken in natural daylight. Dimensions are listed as Length x Width (x Thickness). ❖ Pendants are sold without chains by default. In addition to commercially available silver chains, we recommend pairing pieces with oxidized silver accents with stainless steel chains for a more harmonious color tone. ❖ Minor marks from cutting or handling may be present on wire-wrapped pieces due to the nature of the crafting process, but these do not affect wearability. ❖ "Artistic Copper Wire" refers to craft wire with a copper core, plating, and protective coating. "Red Copper Wire" and "Brass Wire" refer to bare copper wires (without plating). Silver wire will be specified as 925 or 999 silver. ❖ Natural stones may inherently feature inclusions, patterns, or minor imperfections. Small flaws may also be present from drilling or polishing. ❖ Items are shipped with simple, protective packaging, including cushioning materials and a shipping bag. A resealable bag for storage will also be included. 【Artistic Copper Wire Wrapped Jewelry】 ❖ Artistic copper wire is craft wire with a copper core, plating, and protective coating. With proper 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 moisture (especially sweat) and store it in the provided resealable bag. ❖ Please avoid wearing these pieces during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as sports, or while bathing in hot springs, as this can accelerate wear and potentially damage the natural stones. 【Unplated Copper Wire / Silver Wire Wrapped Jewelry / Metalwork Sterling Silver Jewelry】 ❖ Red copper, brass, and silver wires are unplated. Natural oxidation is normal and will gradually transform the metal into a vintage bronze or silver hue. The color and rate of oxidation will vary depending on wear and individual body chemistry, which is part of the unique character of unplated wire jewelry. Red copper tends to oxidize faster (potentially turning into a vintage red-bronze color 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 untreated wire. However, polished areas will still naturally oxidize over time. ❖ To clean oxidized areas, you can generally use a silver polishing cloth or gently brush with toothpaste, then dry thoroughly or use a hairdryer on a cool setting. ❖ After wearing, wipe the piece with a soft cloth to remove moisture and store it in the provided resealable bag. ❖ Please avoid wearing these pieces during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as sports, 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 (return shipping costs will apply). 【Natural Stones】 ❖ Natural gemstones may inherently feature inclusions, patterns, mineral spots, or black dots. Small imperfections may also be present from drilling or polishing during the crafting process. ❖ Most natural stones used in our pieces are semi-precious. Some stone types may have a lower hardness (this will be specifically noted), so please avoid contact with polishing agents like silver cloths or toothpaste when cleaning the metal components of your jewelry, as these can damage the stones. ❖ Please avoid wearing these pieces during activities that cause heavy sweating or while bathing in hot springs, as this may damage the natural stones.
