【QUSHUICHEN Handmade】Sterling Silver Snowflake Pendant with Kunzite Necklace

Sterling Silver Snowflake Pendant and Natural Stone Necklace: Main pendant size is 20x16mm. The necklace features Kunzite (cylinder), Moonstone with blue sheen (water drop), Chalcedony (larger round bead), Kyanite (smaller round bead), and Aquamarine (bead near the clasp). Metal materials are 925 silver and 999 silver. The internal wiring of the necklace is Japanese steel wire. The total length is 40cm (an extension chain can be added). During winter, there's always a desire to create small, seasonal pieces. This snowflake was one such creation, made on a whim. When planning the beaded chain to accompany it, I envisioned a theme centered around this motif. It was at this time that I acquired uniquely shaped, cylindrical Kunzite, which perfectly highlighted its filament-like shimmer. This inspired me to make them the focal point. Centered around the snowflake are Moonstones, with their clear bodies resembling ice crystals, intermittently flashing a blue light. These are complemented by blue-toned stones of varying depths and textures: Kyanite, with its cool, light-reflecting quality; Chalcedony, reminiscent of a frosty sky; and finally, Aquamarine at the very end, symbolizing the melting ice water, thus completing the seasonal cycle. The 40cm short necklace length is suitable for both wearing alone or layering. For reference, the worn photos show the effect when paired with a 50cm necklace. ❖ Product photos are mostly taken in natural daylight. Dimensions are length x width (x thickness).

In addition to commercially available silver chains, it is recommended to pair sterling silver pieces with a sulfurized (antiqued) finish with stainless steel chains for a more harmonious color tone. ❖ Minor marks from cutting or pinching may occur on the wire during the metal weaving process due to handling pressure, but these generally do not affect wearability. ❖ "Artistic copper wire" refers to craft-specific wire consisting of copper core + plating + protective layer. "Red copper wire" and "brass wire" indicate bare copper wire (without plating). Silver wire will be specified as 925 or 999 silver. ❖ Natural stones may inherently have characteristics such as inclusions, patterns, or mineral deficiencies. Minor imperfections may also exist from drilling or polishing. ❖ Shipping is by default in simple packaging, including clean protective padding and a shipping bag. A sealed bag will also be provided for storage. 【Artistic Copper Wire Woven Jewelry】 ❖ Artistic copper wire is a craft-specific wire made of a pure copper core + plating + protective layer. With normal use and care, the color can remain largely unchanged for several years. ❖ Due to the plating and protective layer on the surface, please refrain from using silver polishing cloths or toothpaste for cleaning, as this will rapidly degrade the plating. ❖ After wearing, please wipe off any moisture, especially sweat, with a soft cloth and store in the provided sealed bag. ❖ Please avoid wearing these items during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as exercise, and when bathing in hot springs. This can accelerate wear of the wire and potentially damage the natural stones. 【Unplated Copper Wire / Silver Wire Woven Jewelry / Sterling Silver 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 and speed of oxidation will vary depending on wear and individual body chemistry, which is part of the character of bare wire jewelry. In terms of oxidation speed, red copper wire tends to oxidize faster (turning into an antique red copper color within days to weeks), while brass and silver oxidize more slowly. ❖ Wires that have undergone a sulfurizing (antiquing) process have a more stable color tone compared to untreated wires, 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 scrub with toothpaste, then dry with a cloth or a hairdryer on a cool setting. ❖ After wearing, wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth and store in the provided sealed bag. ❖ Please avoid wearing these items during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as exercise, and when bathing in hot springs. This can accelerate wire oxidation and potentially damage the natural stones. ❖ Unplated wire pieces can be sent back for re-polishing at a later date (only return shipping costs will apply). 【Natural Stones】 ❖ Natural minerals may inherently have inclusions, patterns, mineral deficiencies, or black spots. Minor imperfections may also exist from drilling or polishing. ❖ Most natural stones used in these pieces are semi-precious stones. Some stone types may have lower hardness (this will be specifically noted). Please try to avoid contact with natural stones when using silver polishing cloths, toothpaste, or other polishing agents on the metal parts of the jewelry during maintenance. ❖ Please avoid wearing these items during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as exercise, and when bathing in hot springs, as this may damage the natural stones.
