Putuo says: Treat yourself kindly, do not get angry, do not people-please, and do not punish yourself for the mistakes of others. Smile gently, walk steadily, let go of gains and losses, cherish what you have, do not waste time, and do not fail yourself. **Original design, fully handmade braided cord, custom-made, adjustable.** **Please note your wrist circumference size.** (All images are taken in natural light. Colors may vary depending on equipment, weather, and screen display. Please be aware!) **> Categories** Shuifei Sand, Emperor Sand, Purple Gold Sand, and Crystal Sand are all high-content quality cinnabar. Their **primary differences lie in color, texture, hardness, and production methods.** **「Shuifei Sand」** **True red, with a slight orange undertone. The surface has a warm, matte finish that will become brighter with wear, forming a patina.** The production method involves repeatedly grinding fine cinnabar particles into a paste, stirring with water, collecting the upper "turbid liquid" after settling, and then allowing it to settle again (the Shuifei purification method). The cinnabar mud at the bottom is then air-dried and pressed using ancient methods. Even on the cross-section, uniform, fine mineral sparkle particles can be seen internally. **「Emperor Sand」** **The color leans towards true red, with a more brilliant hue and higher hardness.** The production method involves a multi-step purification process from natural cinnabar ore, including **crushing/grinding/magnetic separation/Shuifei/high polishing**, followed by ancient pressing methods. Emperor Sand has almost no visible mineral sparkle on the surface, but has it internally. The surface employs a **high polishing** process to achieve a metallic texture, especially under sunlight, enhancing its metallic luster. **「Purple Gold Sand」** **The color leans towards purple-red, with slightly lower hardness than Emperor Sand.** The production method involves multiple steps from natural cinnabar ore, including **crushing/grinding/screening**, but **without the Shuifei purification**. Therefore, the surface is not as fine and has scattered small mineral sparkle particles, giving a "starry sky" effect. **「Crystal Sand」** **The color leans towards purple-red and is translucent.** These are large cinnabar particles directly chipped from the cinnabar ore. Large crystal particles are clearly visible on the surface, appearing transparent under light and emitting a fluorescent red glow. > Spring Plowing and Autumn Harvest **All things that are expansive, poetic, and beautiful in this world tend to happen naturally, much like the changing seasons.** **Learn to slow down, clear your mind, treat life with gentleness, respect the power of time, and allow everything to grow naturally, like a tree, focusing without fear to grow clear growth rings.** **Our craftsmanship is just the same!!** > Care **Silver does not fade; yellowing or blackening is simply oxidation.** True sterling silver will oxidize, and the higher the purity, the more prone it is to oxidation. **Sterling silver with an antique finish is less prone to oxidation.** Oxidation of silver jewelry is not a problem; you just need to learn how to "de-oxidize" it. For daily care, follow the methods below, and it will look like new after wiping. 1. Apply toothpaste to the oxidized parts of the sterling silver, then wipe with a soft, dry cloth. 2. Alternatively, use a silver polishing cloth or silver polishing stick. 3. Avoid corrosive substances and fire. 4. Do not use chemical bleaching. 5. Do not soak in water for extended periods. 6. Do not scrub, grind, rub, or pick at the braided cord. If it gets dirty, wipe it with a regular wet wipe, or wash it gently with clean water and let it air dry naturally.
