Blizzard Agate (Turquoise/Black Weathered Agate Beads) (13, 14cm)

“Original creation. Any resemblance to other works is purely coincidental. The following are legends or sources of inspiration, not actual effects.” In the vast, pure white snowscape, the world is pristine. A cold wind brushes past your ears as snowflakes dance in the air. The Blizzard Agate, crafted with turquoise and black weathered agate beads, reawakts the grandeur and depth of this icy world. The turquoise's patterns resemble a winter lake, frozen yet alive, with faint black veins like natural brushstrokes sketching icy trails, reflecting the mystery and danger beneath the frozen surface. This bracelet symbolizes the duality of winter—the magnificent natural scenery and the hidden, unknown forces. Stepping onto an ice lake, one feels both the stability of the thick ice and a thrilling sense of danger from potential cracks. Much like the breathtaking moments in life, they carry risks yet are irresistibly captivating. --- Metal Care: 1. Avoid Contact with Water and Sweat: Metal can oxidize when exposed to water. It is recommended to avoid wearing jewelry while washing hands, swimming, or exercising, as sweat and moisture can accelerate discoloration. 2. Keep Away from Chemicals: Cosmetics, perfumes, detergents, and other chemicals can damage the surface of jewelry. It is advisable to put on jewelry after applying makeup to avoid direct contact with chemicals. 3. Avoid Collisions and Friction: Collisions and friction can cause surface scratches. Try to avoid rubbing jewelry against hard objects or dropping it. 4. Store Separately: When storing jewelry, it is best to place it in a sealed bag or anti-oxidation bag, and keep it separate from other metal jewelry to prevent friction and oxidation reactions. 5. Polishing and Maintenance: Silver jewelry can be polished with a silver polishing cloth. Other metal jewelry can be wiped with a regular glasses cloth. Please note that using a silver polishing cloth on non-silver items may cause a chemical reaction. --- Metal Testing and Usage Conditions: Independent tests were conducted on metal performance in various environments (sulfur springs, high salinity, scratching, hydrochloric acid), with the following results: ◇ Brass: Under natural use, it will gradually darken, exhibiting an antique style. One metal, two experiences. High-salinity environments may produce yellowish-brown copper oxide. ◇ Alloy (Surface: Brass/Zinc/Stainless Steel/Silver, Core: Copper/Brass): Please note if you have copper allergies! Tests show that high-salinity or high-acidity environments accelerate oxidation, causing darkening or verdigris formation. ◇ S925 Silver: Turns black in sulfurous environments. Becomes foggy in high-salinity environments (can be wiped with a silver polishing cloth). Turns red or foggy in hydrochloric acid environments. ◇ 304 Stainless Steel: Very stable in general environments. May develop pitting (greenish-brown oxide) when exposed to hydrochloric acid. Once the outer layer is compromised, contact with high-salinity environments will produce yellowish-brown oxide. ◇ Zinc Alloy: Very stable in general environments, but in highly acidic conditions (e.g., hydrochloric acid), it may develop cracks, leading to changes and embrittlement from the cracked areas. ◇ 14K Gold Filled (Rolled Gold): The core is typically brass, plated with a relatively thick layer of gold. 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 core, oxidation may occur. In the tested environments, the outer layer remained highly stable.
