Tian Gong Qiao Zuo (Picasso Black Web Jasper / Natural Shoushan Stone / Golden Black Obsidian) (17cm)

“Original creations; any resemblance to existing works is purely coincidental. The following are legends or sources of inspiration, not actual effects.” Creativity born from hardship can sometimes resonate most deeply with others. Tian Gong Qiao Zuo conveys that during the most challenging times, inspiration often flows like a spring, and the obstacles overcome carry a powerful, moving force. The design is grounded in Picasso Black Web Jasper, its grey base interwoven with black lines reminiscent of brushstrokes on a canvas, chronicling life’s rises and falls. Natural Shoushan Stone adds a steady, ancient charm, like a canvas weathered by time. Golden Black Obsidian is interspersed, revealing a subtle shimmer of gold within the black, symbolizing hope and an unyielding radiance in darkness. Stainless steel accents bring a modern touch, demonstrating resilience and the spirit of meticulous craftsmanship through its resistance to change. Much like a sculptor etching profound marks onto life, these very marks become sources of resonance. Whether pain or joy, they bloom in the form of art. It serves as a reminder that in our most difficult moments, we should not forget the brush in our hand or the light within our hearts. Works born from the soul not only heal ourselves but also inspire others, becoming a bridge that connects human hearts. --- Metal Care Instructions: 1. Avoid Contact with Water and Sweat: Metal oxidizes easily when exposed to water. It is recommended to remove jewelry before washing hands, swimming, or exercising to prevent sweat and moisture from accelerating discoloration. 2. Keep Away from Chemicals: Chemicals such as cosmetics, perfumes, and cleaning agents can damage the surface of the jewelry. It is advisable to put on jewelry after applying makeup to avoid direct contact with chemicals. 3. Avoid Collisions and Friction: Collisions and friction can cause surface scratches. Try to avoid rubbing jewelry against hard objects or dropping it. 4. Store Separately: When storing jewelry, it is best to keep it in a sealed bag or an anti-oxidation pouch. Store it separately from other metal jewelry to prevent friction and oxidation. 5. Polishing and Maintenance: Silver jewelry can be polished with a silver polishing cloth. Other metal jewelry can be wiped with a regular eyeglass cleaning cloth. Please note that using a silver polishing cloth on non-silver jewelry may cause a chemical reaction. --- Metal Experiments and Usage Status: Independent experiments were conducted to test the performance of various metals in different environments (sulfur springs, high salinity, scratching, hydrochloric acid). The results are as follows: ◇ Brass: Under normal use, it gradually deepens in color, exhibiting an antique style. One metal, two experiences. In high-salinity environments, it may form yellowish-brown copper oxide. ◇ Alloy (Brass/Zinc/Stainless Steel/Silver surface, Copper/Brass interior): Caution for individuals with copper allergies! Experiments show that high salinity or high acidity environments accelerate oxidation, causing darkening or the formation of verdigris. ◇ S925 Silver: Turns black in sulfurous environments. Becomes foggy in high-salinity environments (can be wiped with a silver polishing cloth). Turns red or foggy in hydrochloric acid environments. ◇ Type 304 Stainless Steel: Very stable in general environments. May develop pitting (greenish-brown oxide) when exposed to hydrochloric acid. Once the outer layer is compromised, contact with high-salinity environments will produce yellowish-brown oxides. ◇ Zinc Alloy: Very stable in normal environments, but may develop cracks in highly acidic environments (such as hydrochloric acid). Changes will begin at the cracks, leading to metal embrittlement. ◇ 14K Gold Filled (Plated): The core is typically brass, with a thicker layer of gold plated on the outside. Under normal usage, it can last 5-10 years. Avoid contact with chemical substances when wearing. If the outer layer is scratched, exposing the brass, oxidation may occur. In the experimental environments described above, the outer layer demonstrated high stability.
