[Qūshuǐ Chén Handmade] Iolite and Wire-Wrapped Pendant

Iolite and wire-wrapped pendant. The metal material is pure copper wire, with overall dimensions (length x width) of 40x25mm. The creation of this piece is a little special. It was made on the spot during a craft exchange event held at a co-created old house space in a community. It was a venue with a strong nostalgic atmosphere, bringing together a small group of people who love handmade crafts, and there were even adorable cats in the space! This piece is the result of spontaneous creation in such a relaxed environment. Each curve, each decorative choice, followed the creative energy flowing through the air, reflecting the sunlight of that afternoon, perhaps even infused with the tenderness felt when the cats walked by or jumped onto the table. Creation is really about this – what's always needed is an open and free heart to convey all the beauty felt in the moment. This is also what I'm practicing and sharing with everyone. ❖ Product photos are mostly taken in natural daylight. Dimensions are length x width (x thickness). The full version of the real-life video, often cropped on Pinkoi, can be found by searching the brand name on IG for the corresponding post. ❖ Metal and silver jewelry pieces do not come with a chain by default. In addition to commercially available silver chains, we also recommend pairing oxidized sterling silver pieces with stainless steel chains for a better color match. ❖ During the wire-wrapping process, slight marks from gripping or cutting the wire may occur due to hand pressure. This generally does not affect the wearing effect. ❖ "Artistic Copper Wire" refers to craft-specific wire with a copper core, plating, and protective layer. "Red Copper Wire" and "Yellow Copper Wire" indicate bare copper wire (without plating). Silver wire will be specified as 925 or 999 silver. ❖ Natural stones may inherently have characteristics such as clouds, patterns, or mineral inclusions. There may also be minor imperfections from drilling or polishing. ❖ Shipping defaults to simple packaging, including clean anti-collision materials and a shipping bag. A sealed bag will also be provided for convenient storage. [Artistic Copper Wire Wrapped 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 change. ❖ 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 (especially sweat) 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 bathing in hot springs, as this will accelerate wire wear and may also damage the natural stones. [Unplated Copper Wire / Silver Wire Wrapped Jewelry / Metalwork Sterling Silver Jewelry] ❖ Red copper wire, yellow copper wire, and silver wire are all unplated materials. Natural oxidation is a normal phenomenon (they will gradually turn into an antique bronze or antique silver color). The color and rate of oxidation 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 tends to oxidize faster for most people (turning antique red copper color in days to weeks), while yellow copper and silver oxidize more slowly. ❖ Wire that has undergone a vulcanization (antiquing) process will have 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 scrub with toothpaste, then dry or use a hairdryer 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 bathing in hot springs, as this will accelerate wire oxidation and may also damage the natural stones. ❖ Pieces made with unplated wire can be sent back for re-polishing later (only return shipping fees will apply). [Natural Stones] ❖ Natural gemstones may have characteristics such as clouds, patterns, mineral inclusions, or black spots. There may also be minor imperfections from drilling or polishing during processing. ❖ The natural stones used in the pieces are mostly semi-precious stones. Some types of stones may have lower hardness (this will be specifically noted). Please try to avoid contact between polishing items like silver polishing cloths and toothpaste and the natural stone parts when caring for the metal components of the jewelry. ❖ Please avoid wearing during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as sports, and when bathing in hot springs, as this may damage the natural stones.
