[Qu Shui Chen Handmade] Red Agate Sterling Silver Necklace

Red Agate Sterling Silver Necklace. The central pendant measures 32x15mm, crafted from 925 and 999 silver. The beaded chain features Czech glass beads. The clasp and all metal findings are 925 silver. The internal wiring is Japanese steel wire. The total necklace length is 40cm with an additional 5cm adjustable extension chain. This style of piece is something I've wanted to explore since I began crafting beaded chains—pairing a handcrafted sterling silver bezel-set main pendant with a beaded chain to complete the artwork. For this particular piece, the main stone is the one with the least red hue from a batch of Red Agate I had. However, its rich, warm orange tone completely captivated me. I designed a custom curved bezel for it, and uniquely adjusted the pendant's bail to complement the diameter of the surrounding beads. The main body of the chain is composed of bow-shaped Czech beads. Their iridescent, silvery-white base, combined with silver beads and translucent beads with silver edges, echoes the sterling silver of the main pendant. The blue floral beads with a hint of green perfectly complement the main stone's color, bringing a vibrant and flourishing touch to your décolletage as spring begins. ❖ Product photos are mostly taken in natural daylight. Dimensions are listed as length x width (x thickness). Due to platform limitations, videos on Pinkoi are often cropped. The full version can be found by searching for the brand name on Instagram to view the corresponding post. ❖ Metalwork and sterling silver jewelry typically do not come with a chain. In addition to commercially available silver chains, we also recommend pairing our oxidized sterling silver pieces with stainless steel chains for a harmonious color tone. ❖ During the wire weaving process, slight indentations or cutting marks may occur due to the force applied. These generally do not affect the wearability of the piece. ❖ "Artistic Wire" refers to craft wire with plating and a protective layer. "Red Copper Wire" and "Yellow Copper Wire" indicate bare copper wire (no plating). Silver wire will be specified as 925 or 999 silver. ❖ Natural stones may inherently have characteristics such as inclusions, patterns, or minor chips. There may also be slight imperfections from drilling or polishing. ❖ Shipping defaults to simple packaging, including protective cushioning materials and a shipping bag. A sealed pouch will also be provided for storage. 【Artistic Wire Weaving Jewelry】 ❖ Artistic wire is specialized craft wire consisting of a copper core, plating, and a protective layer. With normal use and care, the color can be maintained for several years without significant changes. ❖ Because the surface has plating and a protective layer, please avoid using silver polishing cloths or toothpaste for cleaning, as this can quickly wear away the plating. ❖ After wearing, gently wipe away moisture (especially sweat) with a soft cloth and store in the provided sealed pouch. ❖ Please avoid wearing during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as sports, and during hot spring soaks, as this can accelerate wire degradation and potentially damage natural stones. 【Unplated Copper Wire / Silver Wire Weaving Jewelry / Sterling Silver Metalwork Jewelry】 ❖ Red copper wire, yellow copper wire, and silver wire are all unplated. Natural oxidation is a normal phenomenon (they will gradually turn into a antique bronze/antique silver color). The color change and oxidation speed will vary depending on wear and individual body chemistry, which is part of the unique character of bare wire jewelry. In terms of oxidation speed, red copper wire tends to oxidize faster for many (turning antique red copper within days to weeks), while yellow copper and silver oxidize more slowly. ❖ Wire that has undergone a vulcanization (antiquing) treatment will have a more stable color tone compared to untreated wire. However, 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 brush with toothpaste, then dry or use a hairdryer on a cool setting. ❖ After wearing, wipe away moisture with a soft cloth and store in the provided sealed pouch. ❖ Please avoid wearing during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as sports, and during hot spring soaks, as this can accelerate wire oxidation and potentially damage natural stones. ❖ Jewelry made with unplated wire can be sent back for re-polishing at a later date (only return shipping fees will apply). 【Natural Stones】 ❖ Natural gemstones may inherently have inclusions, patterns, chips, or black spots. There may also be minor imperfections from drilling or polishing during the crafting process. ❖ The natural stones used in our pieces are mostly semi-precious stones. Some types of gemstones may have a 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, such as sports, and during hot spring soaks, as this may damage the natural stones.
