[Qu Shui Chen Handmade] Turquoise Sterling Silver Necklace

Turquoise Necklace. Materials: 999 Sterling Silver (some components are 925 Sterling Silver). Overall dimensions: 30x15mm. Chain length: 47+3cm. This piece is kept in its original silver color, without an antique finish. The idea to create a necklace series actually came about when I purchased a small mannequin for display. I felt it would look more complete if everything was adorned, so I made this series. I might even create new pieces before markets, depending on the empty space on the mannequins' chests. 😆 This raw turquoise gemstone has excellent porcelain-like quality and color. Paired with the curves of pure silver in its natural hue and a delicate chain, it evokes a sense of pure, gentle warmth. Its size and chain length are also very suitable for everyday wear. ❖ Product photos are mostly taken in natural daylight. Dimensions are listed as length x width (x thickness). ❖ Gold- and silversmithing works generally do not include a chain. For pairing, besides commercially available silver chains, works with a sulfurized antique finish are also recommended to be paired with stainless steel chains for a better color harmony. ❖ During the wire-wrapping process, slight marks from pinching or cutting may occur due to hand pressure, but these generally do not affect wearability. ❖ Items marked "Artistic Copper Wire" are specialized craft wires consisting of copper wire + plating + protective layer. Items marked "Pure Copper Wire" or "Brass Wire" are bare copper wires (without plating). Silver wires will be specified as 925 or 999 silver. ❖ Natural stones may inherently have characteristics such as clouds, patterns, or mineral inclusions. Minor flaws in drilling or polishing may also be present. ❖ Shipping defaults to simple packaging, including clean protective cushioning materials and a shipping bag. A sealed bag will also be provided for convenient storage. 【Artistic Copper Wire Wrapped Jewelry】 ❖ Artistic Copper Wire is a specialized craft wire composed of pure copper wire + plating + protective layer. With normal use and care, the color can remain largely unchanged for several years. ❖ Because the surface has plating and a protective layer, please do not use silver polishing cloths or toothpaste for cleaning, as this will rapidly wear away the plating. ❖ After wearing, please gently wipe off any moisture (especially sweat) with a soft cloth and store it in the provided sealed bag. ❖ Please avoid wearing during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as sports, and when visiting hot springs, as this will accelerate wear of the wire and may also damage the natural stones. 【Unplated Copper Wire / Silver Wire Wrapped Jewelry / Fine Silver Goldsmithing】 ❖ Pure copper wire, brass wire, and silver wire are all unplated materials. Natural oxidation is normal (they will gradually turn into an antique bronze/silver color). The color changes and speed of oxidation will vary with wear and individual body chemistry, which is also part of the unique character of unplated wire jewelry. In terms of oxidation speed, pure copper wire tends to oxidize faster (turning into an antique copper color within days to weeks), while brass and silver oxidize more slowly. ❖ Wires that have undergone a sulfurization (antique) treatment will have a more stable hue compared to untreated wires. However, polished areas will still gradually oxidize naturally. ❖ If you wish to clean oxidized areas, you can generally use a silver polishing cloth or gently scrub with toothpaste, then dry with a cloth or a cool hair dryer. ❖ After wearing, please wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth and store it in the provided sealed bag. ❖ Please avoid wearing during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as sports, and when visiting hot springs, as this will accelerate wire oxidation and may also damage the natural stones. ❖ Unplated wire pieces can be sent back for re-polishing at a later time (only round-trip shipping fees will apply). 【Natural Stones】 ❖ Natural gemstones may have inclusions, patterns, mineral defects, or black spots. Minor flaws in drilling or polishing may also be present. ❖ The natural stones used in the pieces are mostly semi-precious stones. Some stone types may have lower hardness (this will be specifically noted). Please try to avoid contact between items with polishing or abrasive properties, such as silver polishing cloths and toothpaste, and the natural stone parts when maintaining the metal components of the jewelry. ❖ Please avoid wearing during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as sports, and when visiting hot springs, as this may damage the natural stones.
