【Qu Shui Chen Handmade】White Crystal Metal Wire Weaving Pendant

White crystal pendant. The wire is antiqued pure copper wire. Overall dimensions (length x width) are 41x23mm. For me, white crystal has always been a mineral with special significance. Even before I developed a particular interest in gemstones, when I heard the word "crystal," my first association was undoubtedly the hexagonal prism and transparent form of white crystal. They were not only the starting point of my acquaintance with crystal minerals, but after I began learning about them, even without considering inclusions or symbiotic minerals, white crystals from different origins and with different growth patterns could achieve unique characteristics and beauty within their transparency. Although they are found all over the world and are not as colorful or dazzling as precious gems, I always feel an ineffable sense of grounded stability from white crystals. The white crystals selected for this piece do not come from special origins, nor do they possess rare characteristics. However, they retain their transparency, simplicity, and the symbolic double-terminated hexagonal prism shape. For me, this is like a process of understanding and returning to the origin, and I hope they can convey the sense of groundedness and peace that I feel. This piece is the only one among the three new double-terminated white crystal works that does not feature accent stones. The crystal column, as the protagonist, has the most straightforward and transparent shape among the main stones of the three pieces, with generally intact double terminations. Therefore, the embellishment focuses on showcasing its original form. On the foundation of woven reinforcement, space is created for woven and curved expressions, with the unadorned effort on the back and bottom contributing to the overall unique character and aesthetic. This is my understanding of the white crystal settled within, and I share it with you all. ❖ Most product photos are taken in natural daylight. Dimensions are length x width (x thickness). ❖ Metalwork and silver jewelry pieces do not come with a chain by default. For pairing, besides commercially available silver chains, pieces with antiqued sterling silver are also recommended to be paired with stainless steel chains for a more harmonious color tone. ❖ During the metal wire weaving process, minor clamping or cutting marks may occur due to hand strength. These generally do not affect wearability. ❖ "Artistic copper wire" refers to craft-specific wire with a copper core, plating, and protective layer. "Red copper wire" and "brass wire" refer to bare copper wire (without plating). Silver wire will be specified as 925 or 999 silver. ❖ Natural stones may inherently have characteristics such as inclusions, patterns, mineral deficiencies, or small flaws from drilling and polishing. ❖ Shipping is by default in simple packaging, with clean anti-collision materials and a shipping bag. A sealed bag will also be included for storage. 【Artistic Copper Wire Woven Jewelry】 ❖ Artistic copper wire is craft-specific wire with a copper core, plating, and protective layer. With normal use and care, the color can be maintained for several years without significant changes. ❖ Because the surface has plating and a protective layer, please do not use silver polishing cloths or toothpaste for cleaning, as this will rapidly wear away the plating. ❖ After wearing, please wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth (especially sweat) and store it in the provided sealed bag. ❖ Please avoid wearing during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as sports, and when soaking in hot springs, as this can accelerate wire wear and potentially damage the natural stones. 【Unplated Copper Wire / Silver Wire Woven Jewelry / Metalwork Sterling Silver Jewelry】 ❖ Red copper wire, brass wire, and silver wire are all unplated wires. Natural oxidation is a normal phenomenon (they will gradually turn into antique bronze/antique silver). The color changes and oxidation speed will vary depending on wear and individual body chemistry, which is also part of the character of bare copper wire jewelry. In terms of oxidation speed, red copper wire oxidizes faster subjectively (may turn antique red copper color within days to weeks), while brass and silver oxidize more slowly. ❖ Wire that has undergone sulfidation (antiquing) treatment has a more stable color tone compared to untreated wire, but polished areas will also gradually oxidize naturally. ❖ If you wish to clean oxidized areas, you can generally use a silver polishing cloth or gently brush with toothpaste, then dry or use a hair dryer on a cool setting. ❖ After wearing, wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth and store it in the provided sealed bag. ❖ Please avoid wearing during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as sports, and when soaking in hot springs, as this can accelerate wire oxidation and potentially damage the natural stones. ❖ Unplated wire pieces can be sent back for re-polishing later (only return shipping fees will apply). 【Natural Stones】 ❖ Natural gemstones may have inclusions, patterns, mineral deficiencies, black spots, and small flaws from drilling and polishing. ❖ The natural stones used in the works are mostly semi-precious stones. Some types of minerals may have lower hardness (this will be specifically noted). Please try to avoid contact with polishing agents like silver polishing cloths or toothpaste when caring for the metal parts of the jewelry, as they can damage the natural stones. ❖ Please avoid wearing during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as sports, and when soaking in hot springs, as this may damage the natural stones.
