Small-leaf Rhododendron Sterling Silver Necklace | 18K Gold Plated Necklace | Clavicle Chain | Three Colors

**Small-leaf Rhododendron Sterling Silver Necklace | 18K Gold Plated Necklace | Clavicle Chain | Three Colors** **✦✦✦ Product Introduction ✦✦✦** The Small-leaf Rhododendron, an endemic species of Taiwan. Flower language: Forever yours, Joy of love. Among wild rhododendrons, it has the smallest leaf shape and is found at altitudes of 2,000-3,500 meters, making this variety very rare. After the blooming season in May, only the whorled leaves remain, maintaining their elegant form. We've captured the multi-branched characteristic of the Small-leaf Rhododendron, preserving its slender leaves to create a three-dimensional piece of jewelry that exudes a delicate and graceful aura. Shiyè (鉐葉) captures the moments of sprouting, blooming, and wilting in nature through metal craftsmanship, conveying the beautiful value of life's cycles. Our creative process begins with observing the often-overlooked plants around us, drawing inspiration from the seasonal changes in flora. We primarily use recycled silver and copper, embodying the spirit of nature, circularity, and vitality. Through our craft, we create beautiful adornments, extending the life of artisanal techniques and infusing them with energy. ----------------------------------------- **✦✦✦ Product Features ✦✦✦** ■ The necklace can be adjusted to three different lengths. ■ A necklace suitable for any gender. ■ Unique plant-texture design. ■ The shape and texture of the plant are natural and realistic, with each piece being unique. ■ Meticulous attention to detail and comfortable wear. ■ Professionally crafted by our team for durability and longevity. ■ Exclusive design by the Shiyè (鉐葉) team, entirely handmade. ■ Original Taiwanese design, handcrafted in limited quantities. ■ Comprehensive after-sales service, including free maintenance and basic repairs. ----------------------------------------- **✦✦✦ Product Information ✦✦✦** ■ Quantity: One piece. ■ Dimensions: 6 cm (width) x 3 cm (height).

This unique characteristic** fully showcases its exclusive quality. The jewelry's colors may evolve due to environmental humidity, the wearer's perspiration pH, and friction from contact with skin. This can lead to a gradual reduction in saturation and luster, and the oxidation layer may wear away over time, revealing the underlying silver. When the oxidation layer wears off, we recommend booking a vulcanization service to maintain the piece's distinctive coloration. - **■ Color: Gold.** **■ Material: Brass, plated with 18K gold.** ■ Using electrolysis, a protective layer of K gold is plated onto the surface of sterling silver or brass. The plating thickness is approximately 5-10 micrometers, using jewelry-grade, nickel-free plating for a K gold appearance. It possesses excellent resistance to oxidation and fading, along with enhanced hardness. The gold plating, containing gold, may gradually wear off due to environmental humidity, perspiration pH, and friction from skin contact, revealing the base metal. This is a normal phenomenon. When the plating wears thin, we recommend booking a re-plating service to maintain the jewelry's beautiful finish. ----------------------------------------- **✦✦✦ Packaging ✦✦✦** ■ This item includes gift packaging, making it perfect for gifting. ■ Gift Packaging: Includes a paper box, care card, storage pouch, and sealing bag. ■ The gift box is made from recycled paper. ■ We offer a complimentary card writing service.

Avoid pulling, heavy pressure, or bending. Be cautious of friction or collision with other jewelry that could cause deformation. ■ For minor smudges and dust from handling, a clean, soft cloth is sufficient for gentle wiping. ■ Silver jewelry can be polished with a silver polishing cloth. ■ Purple-blue and gold-colored jewelry should not be polished with a silver polishing cloth. ----------------------------------------- **✦✦✦ Warranty Information ✦✦✦** ■ Enjoy lifetime free maintenance and basic repair services to extend the product's lifespan and achieve sustainable beauty. ■ Maintenance services include restoration of jewelry oxidation.
