[Handmade by Qu Shuichen] Labradorite Metal Wire Braided Pendant

Labradorite pendant, the metal material is pure copper wire, the overall size (length x width) is 48x36mm. This is a labradorite that has been in my possession for a long time. It is also one of the very few carved labradorites that I have collected. I picked them out in batches together with my friends. The friends were interested in the oval shape of a moderate size. Or there are more water droplets, and most of them have carved petals that are relatively slender, so you can intuitively tell at a glance that they are flower patterns, with a bit of exotic style and uniqueness. But the first thing I noticed was this conspicuous large round shape. In addition to its light and color, the perfect round shape and the carvings, which were more like geometric patterns than flowers, attracted me inexplicably. However, after taking him home, I never came up with a design that I was completely satisfied with. Ever since I learned metal wire weaving that year (really in years😆), the general frame wire fixing or weaving side frames would press the Stone to some extent. The prong setting felt that it would detract from the perfect image of the round surface. Later, I also considered that a metal frame could solve the problem of pressing the surface, but I felt that clamping it with a Silver plate would be a bit too cramped, so I finally thought of him again when I started making a new knitting frame recently. The curved border that maintains a sense of space does not have a sense of oppression that covers the tips of the petals of the pattern. The curved lines echo the pattern of the main Stone. The pendant is also made into a petal shape that can be associated with the pattern of the main Stone. A simple click of a photo under the sun produced vivid and vibrant colors that I had never seen before, which I thought was proof that I had finally found my ideal design. ❖Photos of the works are mostly taken in natural light during the day, and the dimensions are length x width (x thickness). Real-life videos on Pinkoi are often cut to length, and the full version can be viewed by searching the brand name on IG to find the corresponding post. ❖Metalwork and silver jewelry works do not come with chains by default. In addition to commercially available Silver, it is also recommended to pair sterling silver vulcanized distressed works with Stainless Steel chains, which are more matching in color. ❖During the metal wire weaving and production process, the wire may be slightly pinched/cut due to the strength of the operating hand, which basically does not affect the wearing effect. ❖The label "Art Bronze" is a special wire for crafts with Bronze+ plating + protective layer. "Red Bronze" and "Bronze wire" are marked as bare Bronze(no electroplating). The Silver wire will be marked as 925 or 999 Silver. ❖Natural stones may be born with characteristics such as clouds, lines, ore defects. There may also be small flaws in drilling and polishing. ❖Shipment is preset for simple packaging, with clean anti-collision packaging materials and shipping bags, and sealed bags for easy storage. [Artistic Bronze braided jewelry] ❖ Artistic Bronze is a special craft wire made of pure copper wire + electroplating layer + protective layer. Under normal use and maintenance, the color can be maintained for several years without much change. ❖ Because there is electroplating and protective layer on the surface, please do not use Silver wiping cloth or toothpaste for cleaning, as this will cause the plating to wear out quickly. ❖ After wearing it, please wipe away any moisture (especially sweat) with a soft cloth and store it in the attached sealed bag. ❖ Please try to avoid wearing it in situations where you sweat a lot, such as sports, or in hot springs. In addition to accelerating the wear of the wire, it may also damage the natural stone. [Electroless Bronze/ Silver wire braided jewelry/metalworking sterling silver jewelry] ❖ Red Bronze and Bronze wire. Silver wires are all electroless-plated wires and naturally oxidize as a normal phenomenon (they will gradually turn into bronze/silver). The color and oxidation rate will be slightly different depending on the wear and personal physique, which is also one of the characteristics of bare Bronze jewelry. In terms of oxidation speed, red Bronze feels faster (it may turn into antique red Bronze in a few days to weeks), while Bronze and Silver are slower. ❖ The tone of the wire after vulcanization (distressing) treatment will be more stable than that of the untreated wire, but the polished parts will also gradually oxidize naturally. ❖ If you want to clean the oxidized part, you can generally use a Silver wiping cloth to wipe it, or use toothpaste to gently scrub it and then dry it or blow it dry with cold air from a hair dryer. ❖ After daily wear, you can use a soft cloth to dry the moisture and store it in the enclosed sealed bag. ❖ Please try to avoid wearing it in situations where you sweat a lot, such as sports, or in hot springs. In addition to accelerating the oxidation of the wire, it may also damage the natural stone. ❖ All works without electroplated wire can be sent back for re-polishing (you only need to pay the return shipping fee) 【Natural stone】 ❖ Natural ores may have clouds, lines, mineral defects, and black spots, and there may also be small flaws in drilling and polishing during processing. ❖ Most of the natural stones used in the works are semi- Gemstone. Some types of minerals may have low hardness (will be specially noted). Please try to avoid letting Silver wiping cloths, toothpaste and other abrasive and polishing items come into contact with the natural stones when maintaining the metal parts of the jewelry. part. ❖ Please try to avoid wearing it in situations where you sweat a lot, such as sports, or when soaking in hot springs. It may damage the natural stone.
