[Qu Shui Chen Handmade] Labradorite Wire-Wrapped Necklace

Labradorite Wire-Wrapped Necklace. Main stone diameter: 20mm. Wire material (including the woven end of the necklace) is antiqued copper wire. Paired with a Taiwanese-made black genuine leather cord. Clasp material is brass. The current total necklace length is 48cm, which can be extended or shortened. Extensions are primarily made with an extender chain, while shortening involves trimming the leather cord and re-finishing the ends. The star of this necklace is the labradorite, which I've always favored for its deep blue and striking flash, visible even in varied lighting. It's set with enough room to turn, allowing you to adjust it to your preferred angle. I've designed a bail that extends outwards, leading into a free-flowing wire-woven net. This softens the metallic component, transforming it from a purely functional element into one with a fluid and uninhibited aesthetic. The accompanying cord is a 3mm diameter braided genuine leather. This cord has a substantial feel, quite different from the drape of a typical metal chain, offering a more structured look. After completion, I even created a cylindrical cardboard mold to hold the necklace in shape for a few days, ensuring an ideal fit and appearance when worn. ❖ Product photos are mostly taken in natural daylight. Dimensions are length x width (x thickness). The actual video on Pinkoi is often cropped in length; the full version can be found by searching the brand name on IG for the corresponding post. ❖ Metalwork and silver jewelry pieces typically do not come with a chain. For pairings, besides commercially available silver chains, pieces with antiqued sterling silver are also recommended to be paired with stainless steel chains for a more harmonious color tone. ❖ During the wire-wrapping process, slight nicks or cuts on the wire may occur due to handling pressure. These generally do not affect the overall appearance or wearability. ❖ "Artistic Copper Wire" indicates craft wire consisting of copper wire + plating + protective layer. "Red Copper Wire" and "Brass Wire" refer to bare copper wire (no plating). Silver wire will be specified as 925 or 999 silver. ❖ Natural stones may inherently have characteristics such as inclusions, patterns, mineral deficiencies, or small imperfections from drilling or polishing. ❖ Shipping is by default in simple packaging, including clean protective materials and a shipping bag. A sealed bag for storage will also be included. 【Artistic Copper Wire Wrapped Jewelry】 ❖ Artistic copper wire is craft wire composed of copper wire + plating + protective layer. With normal use and care, the color can remain stable for several years. ❖ Due to the plating and protective layer on the surface, please avoid using silver polishing cloths or toothpaste for cleaning, as this will rapidly wear away the plating. ❖ After wearing, gently wipe off any moisture (especially sweat) with a soft cloth and store in the provided sealed bag. ❖ Please try to avoid wearing during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as sports, and when visiting hot springs. This can accelerate wire degradation and potentially damage the natural stones. 【Unplated Copper Wire / Silver Wire Wrapped Jewelry / Solid Sterling Silver Metalwork Jewelry】 ❖ Red copper wire, brass wire, and silver wire are all unplated materials. Natural oxidation is a normal phenomenon (they will gradually turn into a bronze/antique silver color). The color change and rate of oxidation will vary with wear and individual body chemistry, which is part of the unique character of bare wire jewelry. In terms of oxidation speed, red copper wire tends to oxidize faster (turning antique red-copper in days to weeks), while brass and silver oxidize more slowly. ❖ Wire that has undergone a patina (antiquing) treatment will have a more stable color tone compared to untreated wire, but polished areas will still naturally oxidize over time. ❖ If you wish to clean oxidized areas, you can generally use a silver polishing cloth or gently brush with toothpaste, then dry with a cloth or a cool hairdryer. ❖ After wearing, wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth and store in the provided sealed bag. ❖ Please try to avoid wearing during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as sports, and when visiting hot springs. This can accelerate wire 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 deficiencies, or dark spots. There may also be minor imperfections from drilling or polishing during processing. ❖ The natural stones used in the pieces are mostly semi-precious stones. Some types of stones may have lower hardness (this will be specifically noted). Please try to avoid contact with polishing agents like silver polishing cloths or toothpaste when cleaning the metal parts of your jewelry, as these can damage the natural stones. ❖ Please try to avoid wearing during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as sports, and when visiting hot springs, as this may damage the natural stones.
