[Qu Shui Chen Handcraft] Coral Agate and Green Rutilated Quartz Metal Wire Woven Necklace

Coral agate and green rutilated quartz necklace. The necklace is accented with amethyst rondelles and baroque pearls (elongated). The wire is antiqued pure copper, and the clasp is brass. The total length of the necklace is 53cm. The central main pendant measures 35x47mm (width x height). This pendant was originally a custom order, and this piece was a trial creation using a similar structure and setting method, as pure silver wire was intended for the final piece. However, the design and form of each piece are individually conceived, primarily to test the effectiveness of the main stone and its frame. Initially conceived as a simple pendant, it was later repurposed into a necklace design. The initial plan was for a bracelet, but after completing some components, the hue of the amethyst was found to harmonize beautifully with the coral agate main bead, and its tone and texture were also complementary to the baroque pearls. This led to a change in concept, transforming it into a necklace and allowing this pendant to join the current necklace collection. The upcoming collection of new necklaces features meticulously crafted chains. Apart from the clasp and extension chain, no pre-made chain materials or components were used. Furthermore, with the exception of woven connection styles, no jump rings were employed for connecting the chain links, ensuring a closed structure for each connection. This design minimizes the risk of the chain coming apart and offers a more refined, cohesive visual appeal. Each piece is, of course, a unique, one-of-a-kind design. From the main stone to the necklace beads, every combination is a careful selection from endless possibilities, making it difficult even for me to replicate an identical finished product. This piece is dedicated to those who seek the truly unique. ❖ Product photos are mostly taken in natural daylight. Dimensions are listed as length x width (x thickness). ❖ Finished metal jewelry pieces typically do not include a chain unless specified. For styling, in addition to commercially available silver chains, stainless steel chains are also recommended for pieces treated with a silver patina for an aged look, as their tones complement each other well. ❖ During the metal wire weaving process, slight crimp or cut marks on the wire may occur due to handling pressure. These generally do not affect the wearability of the piece. ❖ "Artistic copper wire" refers to craft-specific wire composed of copper + plating + protective layer. "Red copper wire" and "brass wire" indicate bare copper wire (no electroplating). Silver wire will be specified as 925 or 999 silver. ❖ Natural stones may inherently exhibit characteristics such as inclusions, patterns, mineral blemishes, or slight imperfections in drilling or polishing. ❖ Shipping is typically in simple, protective packaging with clean cushioning materials and a shipping bag. A resealable bag will be included for storage. 【Artistic Copper Wire Woven Jewelry】 ❖ Artistic copper wire is a craft-specific material comprising a copper core, plating, and a protective layer. With normal use and care, its color can remain vibrant for several years without significant change. ❖ Due to the presence of plating and a protective layer, please avoid using silver polishing cloths or toothpaste for cleaning, as this can rapidly degrade the plating. ❖ After wearing, gently wipe away moisture (especially perspiration) with a soft cloth and store in the provided resealable bag. ❖ It is advisable to avoid wearing this jewelry during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as sports, or while bathing in hot springs, as this can accelerate wear on the wire and potentially damage the natural stones. 【Unplated Copper Wire / Silver Wire Woven Jewelry / Sterling Silver Metalwork Jewelry】 ❖ Red copper wire, brass wire, and silver wire are unplated materials. Natural oxidation is a normal phenomenon, gradually transforming the metal into a bronze or silver patina over time. The resulting color and rate of oxidation will vary with wear and individual body chemistry, which is part of the unique character of bare wire jewelry. In terms of oxidation speed, red copper wire tends to oxidize more quickly (potentially turning into an antique red copper color within days to weeks), while brass and silver oxidize more slowly. ❖ Wire treated with a patina (antiquing process) generally maintains a more stable color compared to untreated wire. However, polished areas will still naturally oxidize over time. ❖ To clean oxidized areas, you can generally use a silver polishing cloth or gently scrub with toothpaste, then dry thoroughly or use a hairdryer on a cool setting. ❖ After wearing, wipe away any moisture with a soft cloth and store in the provided resealable bag. ❖ It is advisable to avoid wearing this jewelry during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as sports, or while bathing in hot springs, as this can accelerate wire oxidation and potentially damage the natural stones. ❖ Pieces made with unplated wire can be sent back for re-polishing at a later date (only shipping costs will apply). 【Natural Stones】 ❖ Natural gemstones may exhibit inclusions, patterns, mineral blemishes, or dark spots. There may also be minor imperfections from drilling or polishing during the crafting process. ❖ The natural stones used in these pieces are mostly semi-precious. Some stone types may have lower hardness (this will be specifically noted). Please avoid contact with abrasive polishing items like silver polishing cloths or toothpaste when cleaning the metal components of your jewelry, as these can damage the natural stones. ❖ It is advisable to avoid wearing this jewelry during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as sports, or while bathing in hot springs, as this may damage the natural stones.
