[Qu Chen Handcrafted] Rutilated Quartz & Sterling Silver Pendant

Rutilated Quartz Pendant, crafted with 925 Sterling Silver (with small parts of 999 Fine Silver), overall dimensions 62x35mm This piece was conceived during an exploration of minimalist design. The fundamental decorative elements are lines with varying hammered textures, contrasted through differences in density and spatial arrangement. The artwork was developed with this direction in mind. ❖ Our jewelry pieces are typically sold without chains. We are currently sourcing suitable chain options, and a supplementary purchase service is expected to be available in the future. In addition to commercially available silver chains, we also suggest pairing these pieces with stainless steel chains for a more harmonious color tone, especially for items with a silver sulfide (oxidized) finish. ❖ Product photos are mostly taken in natural daylight. Dimensions are listed as Length x Width (x Thickness). ❖ Minor marks from cutting or handling may be present on the metal wires during the weaving process, but these do not typically affect the wearing experience. ❖ Items labeled "Artistic Copper Wire" utilize craft wire consisting of a copper core, plating, and a protective layer. Wires labeled "Pure Copper Wire" or "Brass Wire" refer to bare copper/brass wires without plating. Silver wires will be specified as 925 or 999 Sterling Silver. ❖ Natural stones may inherently feature inclusions, patterns, or minor flaws. Small imperfections from drilling or polishing may also be present. ❖ Items are shipped with simple, protective packaging, including cushioning materials and a shipping bag. A sealed bag for storage will also be provided. 【Artistic Copper Wire Woven Jewelry】 ❖ Artistic Copper Wire is a specialized craft wire composed of a pure copper core, plating, and a protective layer. With proper use and care, its color can remain vibrant 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 can quickly degrade the plating. ❖ After wearing, gently wipe away any moisture, especially sweat, with a soft cloth and store the item in the provided sealed bag. ❖ Please avoid wearing these pieces during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as exercise, and when bathing in hot springs, as this can accelerate wear on the wire and potentially damage the natural stones. 【Unplated Copper/Silver Wire Woven Jewelry / Solid Sterling Silver Metalwork】 ❖ Pure Copper, Brass, and Silver wires are unplated. Natural oxidation is a normal phenomenon, leading to a gradual antique bronze or antique silver appearance over time. The resulting color and rate of oxidation will vary based on wear and individual body chemistry, contributing to the unique character of unplated wire jewelry. Pure copper tends to oxidize more quickly (potentially turning antique bronze within days to weeks), while brass and silver oxidize more slowly. ❖ Wires treated with a sulfide (antiquing) process will have a more stable initial color compared to untreated wires. However, polished areas will still naturally oxidize over time. ❖ To clean oxidized areas, you can generally use a silver polishing cloth or gently scrub with toothpaste, then dry thoroughly or use a hairdryer on a cool setting. ❖ After wearing, gently wipe away any moisture with a soft cloth and store the item in the provided sealed bag. ❖ Please avoid wearing these pieces during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as exercise, and when bathing in hot springs, as this can accelerate wire oxidation and potentially damage the natural stones. ❖ Pieces made with unplated wires can be sent back for re-polishing at a later date (only return shipping fees will apply). 【Natural Stones】 ❖ Natural gemstones may inherently possess characteristics such as inclusions, patterns, mineral flaws, or dark spots. Minor imperfections from drilling or polishing may also be present. ❖ The natural stones used in our pieces are mostly semi-precious. Some stone types may have lower hardness (this will be specifically noted). Please try to avoid contact with polishing items like silver cloths or toothpaste when cleaning the metal components of your jewelry, as these can potentially affect the natural stones. ❖ Please avoid wearing these pieces during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as exercise, and when bathing in hot springs, as this may damage the natural stones.
