Church of the past 5

Remembering the past The longer I live, the more memories I have of the past, and the more memories I usually forget. At random moments, I remember a church I visited long ago. Inside the church, with its calm and quiet atmosphere. The light coming in from outside passes through the stained glass, bringing colorful light to the church. Among the colors of that light, there are some deep and calm colors mixed together, and I found myself attracted to their beauty. It's not a color that looks pretty or gorgeous at first glance, but I think there are things in this world that make you feel more humble the more you look at them. A church from long ago that reminds me of seeing such colors I feel very happy to think that those memories are what have created who I am today. This is a simple pendant piece made by cutting a slightly thick silver plate with a jigsaw to create a cross motif and attaching a single rhodolite garnet to it. I hope you will enjoy the deep image and the solid shine. *This time, I used a rhodolite garnet to create the piece, but it can also be made with other stones. It depends on the stock of the stone and whether it can be purchased, but if you are interested, please feel free to contact us. (Prices vary depending on the stone, so it would be helpful if you could consult us before purchasing.) *Since we cut out the silver plate one by one, there may be some discrepancies with the photo, so please be aware of this before ordering. ~Details of the work~ *Metal: Silver 925 *Rhodolite garnet: Facet cut, round 1.5mm *Chain: Silver 925, length 40cm *Top part: Approximately 9mm x 6mm *Length including bail: Approximately 14mm *The thickness of the top part is approximately 2mm ~Natural stone explanation~ "Garnet" In ancient Europe, garnet, a red stone (other colors also exist), was considered a symbol of blood, and warriors on the battlefield would carry it as a talisman to protect themselves from injury and return alive. As such, this stone is deeply related to blood and vitality, and is said to have great power as a stone that symbolizes life and gives a positive feeling about living. It is also said to be the birthstone for January. "Silver 925" Silver 925 (also known as sterling silver) is a mixture of 92.5% silver and other metals such as copper. 100% pure silver is not very durable for use as accessories, so 925 silver is often used for accessories. Another characteristic is that silver 925 as raw silver is rarely sold to the general public. Like brass, silver can also become black or yellow due to the components in the air and become "sulfurized", so it will be easier to maintain its shine if you wipe it after contact with water or sweat, or keep it away from air during daily storage. You can remove the blackening by polishing it with silver polish, but since silver polish contains abrasives, you need to be careful not to polish it too much or polish the natural stone and damage it. The most important thing to be careful of is bathing in a hot spring. If you bathe in a hot spring, it may turn black due to the influence of sulfur and other substances, making it impossible to polish it, so please absolutely avoid bathing in a hot spring while wearing silver products.
