Different minerals grow together, creating flower-like inclusions, hence the name "rutilated" or "floriated" quartz. ✦ Silver Jewelry Care Recommendations • The crevices of this pendant have been intentionally oxidized for a vintage effect. Please avoid polishing these darkened areas with a silver polishing cloth, and refrain from using silver dip cleaners, as they will remove the aged, antiqued patina. • Silver is a soft metal that requires gentle handling. Avoid pulling forcefully or dropping the piece. Prevent collisions and friction with other metals, stainless steel, or hard objects to avoid scratches. • Oxidation is a natural process for silver. When not in wear, store the jewelry in a completely sealed zip-lock bag in a dry environment to minimize air exposure and slow down oxidation. • Regular wear allows the natural oils from your skin to impart a warm, lustrous sheen to the silver. • To restore shine to darkened or oxidized silver, gently wipe with a silver polishing cloth. • Keep away from sulfur sources and avoid wearing while bathing in hot springs, as this will cause rapid oxidation and significant darkening of the silver. ✦ Please Read Before Ordering • This natural rutilated quartz may feature internal lines, cloudiness, or fractures – imperfections inherent to the stone. These have been represented as clearly as possible in the product images and video. • All items are photographed in kind. However, due to variations in lighting during photography and differences in screen color calibration, slight color variations and perceived size differences may occur. The actual product color is the primary reference. Detailed dimensions are provided on the webpage. • Our jewelry is independently crafted by designers, and minor handmade marks may be visible upon close inspection. /// We kindly ask for your understanding before placing an order.
