● Material: Brass ● Size: Approx. 1.3 x 4.5cm ● This item is made to order. Production begins after payment is received and typically takes around 10 business days (excluding weekends and shipping time). ● As each piece is handcrafted, slight variations such as subtle marks of craftsmanship or minor asymmetries may be present. These are inherent to the handmade process and differ from machine-perfect production.

Please consider this carefully before purchasing. ● Repairs Silver chains are not eligible for repair. For repairs on other jewelry pieces, please provide photos for discussion with the designer. A quote will be provided based on the extent of damage, and return shipping costs will be borne by the customer. ● About Our Handmade Jewelry We use only 925 sterling silver and pure copper. Each finished piece is meticulously crafted using traditional metalworking techniques including sawing, hammering, carving, soldering, filing, setting, and polishing. This process preserves the authentic handmade texture achieved through soldering and forging. ● Jewelry Care Tips 1. All jewelry, regardless of material, is susceptible to moisture. Exposure to elements like rain, sweat, perfume, bathing, hot springs, and chemicals can severely damage jewelry and cause oxidation. Therefore, it is best to avoid contact and keep them away from such substances. 2. Wearing your jewelry frequently is recommended, as the natural oils from your skin can impart a beautiful, warm luster. 3. Over time, jewelry may oxidize or tarnish, appearing yellow or black. Gently brush the surface with a soft-bristled toothbrush dipped in toothpaste or polishing powder, or use a silver polishing cloth or brass polishing cloth to restore its original metallic sheen. 4. For jewelry with a special oxidized finish, avoid excessive polishing to prevent the intended design effect from diminishing. 5. If you are concerned about potential skin allergies from the chemical agents in polishing cloths, rinse the jewelry with clean water and dry thoroughly before wearing. 6. Natural stones, crystals, and pearls can be cleaned with clean water and then wiped dry with a soft cloth. 7. When not in use, clean your jewelry and store it in an airtight bag to slow down the oxidation process. 8. Avoid storing different pieces of jewelry together in the same box, as varying hardness levels can cause friction and wear. 9. Never use harsh tools to clean your jewelry, as this can leave scratches on the surface. If a brush is necessary, use a clean, very soft brush for cleaning.
