Dewdrop Sandalwood Heart (Natural Shoushan Stone / Sandalwood / Clear Quartz) (14cm)

“Original creation. Any resemblance to existing designs is coincidental. The following describes legends or inspirations, not actual effects.” Crafted from natural Shoushan stone, sandalwood, and clear quartz, this piece embodies the elegance and profound meaning of Eastern culture. It resembles a crystal-clear dewdrop, gently resting upon warm, smooth sandalwood, merging the freshness of nature with the warmth of human artistry. The Shoushan stone, with its ancient and serene presence, features natural textures and colors reminiscent of a scroll painted by time, symbolizing the wisdom of age and the strength of resilience. Sandalwood emanates a gentle aroma, like a calm elder, soothing the spirit with its stable energy. Clear quartz, akin to morning dew, is transparent and pure, infusing the entire creation with a touch of coolness and clarity, beautifully balancing the rustic charm with a contemporary aesthetic. Each bead on the bracelet has been meticulously polished, preserving the natural grain of the materials. It evokes scenes of ancient artisans carefully carving under lamplight. Wearing it is like carrying the warmth of history and the essence of nature with you, bringing a sense of tranquility and allowing you to feel the soul of traditional craftsmanship. --- Metal Care: 1. Avoid Contact with Water and Sweat: Metal oxidizes easily when exposed to water. It is recommended to remove jewelry before washing hands, swimming, or exercising to prevent sweat and moisture from accelerating discoloration. 2. Keep Away from Chemicals: Chemicals found in cosmetics, perfumes, and cleaning agents 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 prevent jewelry from rubbing against hard objects or from being dropped. 4. Store Separately: When storing jewelry, it is best to keep it in a sealed bag or an anti-oxidation pouch, and separate it from other metal jewelry to prevent friction and oxidation. 5. Polishing and Maintenance: Silver jewelry can be polished with a silver polishing cloth. Other metal jewelry can be wiped with a regular eyeglass cloth. Please note that non-silver items polished with a silver cloth may undergo a chemical reaction. --- Metal Experiments and Usage Conditions: Independent experiments were conducted to test the performance of metals in various environments (sulfurous hot springs, high salinity, scratching, hydrochloric acid). The results are as follows: ◇ Brass: Under normal use, it gradually deepens in color, presenting an antique aesthetic. One metal, two experiences. In high-salt environments, yellowish-brown copper oxide may form. ◇ Alloy (Brass/Zinc/Stainless Steel/Silver plating, Copper/Brass interior): Please be aware if you have copper allergies! Experiments show that high-salt or high-acid environments accelerate oxidation, leading to darkening or verdigris formation. ◇ S925 Silver: Tarnishes black in sulfurous environments, becomes cloudy in high-salt environments (can be wiped with a silver polishing cloth), and turns red or cloudy in hydrochloric acid. ◇ Type 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-salt environments will generate yellowish-brown oxides. ◇ Zinc Alloy: Very stable in general environments, but may develop cracks in highly acidic environments (e.g., hydrochloric acid). Changes will then occur from these cracks, causing the metal to become brittle. ◇ 14K Gold Filled (Plated): The core is typically brass, with a relatively thick layer of gold plating on the outside. Under normal use, it can maintain its appearance for 5-10 years. Avoid contact with chemicals while wearing. If the outer layer is scratched, exposing the brass, oxidation may occur. In the experimental environments described above, the outer layer remains very stable.
