[Qu Shui Chen Handmade] Blue Chalcedony Wire Wrapped Necklace

Blue Chalcedony Wire Wrapped Necklace. Main stone decoration dimensions (L x W, horizontal): 36x20mm. Wire material: Silver-tone artistic copper wire. The front section of the necklace chain is made of artistic copper wire, followed by Japanese steel wire. Small metal findings, clasp, and extension chain are made of 925 sterling silver. Necklace gemstones include blue chalcedony (round beads), blue flash moonstone (round beads and small faceted beads), aquamarine (round beads), and baroque pearls. The current necklace length is 38cm + 5cm extension (total length 43cm), and it can be adjusted for length. In the worn photos, fastening at the first two links creates a choker-like length. Fastening at the longest point of the extension chain results in a short necklace length that typically falls at the collarbone. As summer approaches, the eyes are inevitably drawn to cool-toned gemstones. Turquoise blue chalcedony is one color that I find particularly refreshing yet gently soothing. The photos for this piece were taken in natural light on an overcast day, with a light rain even falling towards the end. However, as the light shifted, subtle angles revealed the color variations of the main stone. Even a slight amount of light penetration creates gradients reminiscent of the varying depths of water. To complement this main stone, I paired it with gemstones of varying shades of blue and a gentle texture, hoping it would bring a cool, flowing sensation to your neckline throughout the long summer. ❖ Most product photos are taken in natural daylight. Dimensions are listed as Length x Width (x Thickness). Full-length videos are often cropped on Pinkoi; the complete version can be found by searching for the brand name on IG to view the corresponding post. ❖ For wire-wrapped jewelry, a separate chain is not included by default. In addition to commercially available silver chains, we also recommend pairing oxidized sterling silver pieces with stainless steel chains for a harmonious color tone. ❖ During the wire wrapping process, slight crimps or cuts in the wire may occur due to manual tension. These typically do not affect the wearability of the piece. ❖ "Artistic copper wire" refers to craft wire consisting of a copper core, plating, and a protective layer. "Red copper wire" and "brass wire" indicate bare copper wire (without plating). Silver wire will be specified as 925 or 999 silver. ❖ Natural stones may inherently feature characteristics such as inclusions, patterns, or mineral flaws. Minor imperfections in drilling or polishing may also be present. ❖ Shipping is by default in simple packaging, including clean protective materials and a mailing bag. A sealed bag for storage will also be included. 【Artistic Copper Wire Wrapped Jewelry】 ❖ Artistic copper wire is a specialized craft wire composed of a pure copper core, plating, and a protective layer. With normal use and care, its color can remain largely unchanged for several years. ❖ Due to the plating and protective layer on the surface, please avoid using silver polishing cloths and toothpaste for cleaning, as this can rapidly degrade the plating. ❖ After wearing, gently wipe the jewelry with a soft cloth to dry any moisture (especially sweat) and store it in the provided sealed bag. ❖ Please try to avoid wearing this jewelry during activities that cause excessive sweating, such as exercise, and when visiting hot springs. This can accelerate wear on the wire and potentially damage the natural stones. 【Unplated Copper Wire / Silver Wire Wrapped Jewelry / Sterling Silver Jewelry】 ❖ Red copper wire, brass wire, and silver wire are all unplated materials. Natural oxidation is a normal phenomenon, leading to a gradual darkening to a bronze or antique silver patina. The color change and rate of oxidation will vary depending on wear and individual body chemistry, which is part of the unique character of bare wire jewelry. Red copper wire tends to oxidize faster (potentially turning into an antique copper color within days to weeks), while brass and silver oxidize more slowly. ❖ Wire that has undergone sulfidation (antiquing) treatment will have a more stable color tone compared to untreated wire. However, polished areas will still naturally oxidize over time. ❖ If you wish to clean oxidized areas, you can generally use a silver polishing cloth or gently brush with toothpaste, then dry with a cloth or a cool setting on a hairdryer. ❖ After wearing, gently wipe the jewelry with a soft cloth to dry any moisture and store it in the provided sealed bag. ❖ Please try to avoid wearing this jewelry during activities that cause excessive sweating, such as exercise, and when visiting hot springs. 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 time (only return shipping fees will apply). 【Natural Stones】 ❖ Natural gemstones may have inclusions, patterns, mineral flaws, or black spots. Minor imperfections in drilling or polishing may also be present during processing. ❖ The natural stones used in our creations are mostly semi-precious. Some types of stones may have a lower hardness (which will be specifically noted). Please try to avoid contact with polishing agents such as silver polishing cloths and toothpaste when caring for the metal parts of the jewelry, as these can scratch the natural stones. ❖ Please try to avoid wearing this jewelry during activities that cause excessive sweating, such as exercise, and when visiting hot springs, as this may damage the natural stones.
