Afghanite Rare Gemstone Diamond 10K Gold Hand-engraved 10K Gold Necklace

Sourced from a Japanese jewelry exhibition, this Afghanite displays a unique shade of blue. We've explored hand-engraving on a small 10K gold pendant, a process demanding exceptional eyesight. The designer found this challenge intriguing and looks forward to creating more pieces in this style. 【Product Code】 RY2075481 【Description & Size】 Afghanite 0.21ct Natural Diamond 0.0097ct Solid 10 Karat Yellow Gold Solid 10 Karat Yellow gold handmade by Designer Maya Chen.

Since its discovery in 1968, Afghanite has quickly established itself as a rare gemstone. It is a colorless to blue gemstone; the sulfur content is responsible for its blue hue, while sulfur-free crystals appear colorless to white. Often found in association with Sodalite, Afghanite possesses a characteristic fluorescence under longwave ultraviolet light. Despite its small crystal size and the challenges in cutting, it remains an irresistible rare gemstone for jewelry enthusiasts. **Afghanite hardness: 5.5 – 6.0. As it often forms with Sodalite, its durability is comparable to Lapis Lazuli. Avoid soaking in water and protect it from strong heat and UV light.** **Our workshop currently only handles 10K yellow gold fabrication. The accompanying 10K gold chain is white gold.** This item is also available for viewing and purchase at our exhibitions. In the event of simultaneous orders, priority will be given to the earlier purchase. We appreciate your understanding. 【Packaging】 Items will be shipped using simple, eco-friendly packaging.

When wearing jewelry, avoid direct contact with perfumes, cosmetics, or other chemicals, as well as water. It is also advisable to remove jewelry when visiting hot springs or swimming pools. 2. When silver jewelry oxidizes and turns a light coffee color, it can be polished with a silver polishing cloth. Silver polishing cloths contain silver care ingredients and should not be washed. The resulting tarnish is silver and can be used multiple times. 3. For intricate or three-dimensional silver jewelry, avoid deliberately polishing to a high shine. 4. If silver jewelry is not stored sealed or is not polished regularly, its color may darken. 5. The best way to care for silver jewelry is to wear it daily, as the body's natural oils can impart a gentle, warm luster. 6. Jewelry with a raw polished surface is the easiest to maintain; simply wipe with a silver polishing cloth. 7. Pearls can be cleaned with fresh water after wearing. Avoid storing them in airtight containers. 【Important Notes Before Ordering】 ◈ Orders will be fulfilled based on the product displayed on the product page. ◈ For any special requests, please contact us via email prior to ordering. ◈ All items are custom-made upon payment.
