【QuChenChen Handmade】Bloodstone Sterling Silver Pendant

Bloodstone Iolite Pendant, 999 Sterling Silver, Overall Size 51x33mm A truly unique gemstone with a full surface of shimmering inclusions, blending into an extraordinary hue. I've crafted the thickest bezel I've ever made for it. While this crafting technique allows me to control the size and shape to fit the gemstone, the flow of molten silver is, to some extent, determined by chance and the metal's own will. This gemstone evokes a sense of the cosmos and nebulae for me. The formation of planets also begins with the random collision of metals and minerals within nebulae, starting the formation of their core. I hope to echo this process through the gemstone. ❖ Product photos are mostly taken in natural daylight. Dimensions are length x width (x thickness). ❖ Our metalwork silver jewelry pieces are sold without chains by default. For styling, besides commercially available silver chains, we also recommend pairing sulfurized (antiqued) sterling silver pieces with stainless steel chains for a harmonious color tone. ❖ Minor marks or cuts from handling tools may be present during the wire weaving process; these generally do not affect the overall appearance when worn. ❖ "Artistic copper wire" denotes handcrafted wire with a copper core, plating, and 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 clouds, veins, or mineral inclusions. Small imperfections from drilling or polishing may also be present. ❖ Shipping is by default in simple, protective packaging with a sealing bag for convenient storage. 【Artistic Copper Wire Woven Jewelry】 ❖ Artistic copper wire is handcrafted wire with a copper core, plating, and protective layer. With normal use and care, its color can remain vibrant 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 can quickly damage the plating. ❖ After wearing, gently wipe away moisture (especially sweat) with a soft cloth and store in the provided sealing bag. ❖ Please avoid wearing during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as sports, or when bathing in hot springs. This can accelerate wear and potentially damage the natural stones. 【Unplated Copper/Silver Wire Woven Jewelry / Solid Sterling Silver Metalwork Jewelry】 ❖ Red copper wire, brass wire, and silver wire are all unplated. Natural oxidation is a normal phenomenon (they will gradually develop a patina, turning into antique bronze or antique silver colors). 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 wire tends to oxidize faster (possibly turning into an antique red-bronze color within days to weeks), while brass and silver oxidize more slowly. ❖ Sulfurized (antiqued) wire generally maintains a more stable color tone compared to untreated wire, but polished areas will still gradually oxidize naturally. ❖ If you wish to clean oxidized areas, you can typically use a silver polishing cloth or gently brush with toothpaste, then dry thoroughly or use a hair dryer on a cool setting. ❖ After wearing, wipe away moisture with a soft cloth and store in the provided sealing bag. ❖ Please avoid wearing during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as sports, or when bathing in hot springs. This can accelerate oxidation and potentially damage the natural stones. ❖ Unplated wire pieces can be sent back for re-polishing at a later time (you will only be responsible for round-trip shipping fees). 【Natural Stones】 ❖ Natural mineral stones may inherently have characteristics such as clouds, veins, mineral inclusions, or black spots. Small imperfections from drilling or polishing may also be present. ❖ The natural stones used in our pieces are mostly semi-precious. Some stone types may have lower hardness (this will be specifically noted). Please try to avoid contact with polishing agents like silver polishing cloths or toothpaste when caring for the metal parts of your jewelry, as these can damage the natural stones. ❖ Please avoid wearing during activities that cause heavy sweating or when bathing in hot springs, as this may damage the natural stones.
