Steadfast Ground (White Turquoise/Black Pearwood/Cypress Wood/Golden Obsidian) (17cm)

“Original creation. Any similarities to other designs are purely coincidental. The following descriptions are based on legends or inspiration, not actual effects.” Resilient and steadfast like mountain ranges, enduring and ceaseless like flowing rivers. A bracelet that holds its ground symbolizes strength, perseverance, and inner tranquility. White turquoise, with its gentle white base adorned with natural, soft black veins, evokes the elegance and serenity of marble, symbolizing calmness and wisdom. Deep coffee-colored black pearwood, rich with woody grain, imparts a sense of stability and groundedness. Green cypress wood, reminiscent of the vitality of lush forests, adds a touch of hope and life to the overall composition. Golden obsidian, with its profound blackness and subtle glints of gold, speaks of inner strength and radiance, inspiring courage to face challenges without fear. The stainless steel double-wheel accent serves as a symbol of continuously turning gears, driving forward with each step in life—steady and powerful. Its metallic sheen contrasts with the natural materials, adding a modern touch that signifies a spirit of progress within steadfastness. Regardless of external changes, inner stability and perseverance are the cornerstones of resilience. Wearing this bracelet, feel the strength it conveys, a reminder to remain true to your core and move forward steadily on life's journey. --- Metal Care: 1. Avoid Contact with Water and Sweat: Metal oxidizes easily when exposed to water. It is recommended to avoid wearing the jewelry while washing hands, swimming, or exercising to prevent sweat and moisture from accelerating discoloration. 2. Keep Away from Chemicals: Chemicals found in 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. Prevent Collisions and Friction: Collisions and friction can cause surface scratches. Try to avoid rubbing the 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 items 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 standard eyeglass cloth. Please note that using a silver polishing cloth on non-silver items may cause a chemical reaction. --- Metal Experiments and Usage Conditions: Self-conducted experiments tested the performance of various metals in different environments (sulfurous hot springs, high salinity, scratching, hydrochloric acid). The results are as follows: ◇ Brass: Gradually darkens with natural use, developing an antique aesthetic. One metal, two distinct experiences. High-salinity environments may lead to the formation of yellowish-brown copper oxide. ◇ Alloy (Brass/Zinc/Stainless Steel/Silver surface, Red Copper/Brass interior): Attention for those with copper allergies! Experiments indicate that high-salinity or highly acidic environments accelerate oxidation, causing darkening or the formation of patina. ◇ S925 Silver: Turns black in sulfurous environments. High-salinity environments cause cloudiness (can be polished with a silver polishing cloth). Hydrochloric acid environments may result in reddish or cloudy appearances. ◇ Type 304 Stainless Steel: Highly stable in general environments. May develop pitting (greenish-brown oxides) 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 general environments, but may develop cracks in highly acidic conditions (e.g., hydrochloric acid). Changes will occur from these cracks, leading to metal embrittlement. ◇ 14K Gold Filled (Plated): The inner core is typically brass, with a thick layer of gold plated on the exterior. Under normal use, it can maintain its appearance for 5-10 years. Avoid contact with chemicals during wear. If the outer layer is scratched, exposing the brass, oxidation may occur. The outer layer remains very stable in the experimental environments described above.
