Small-Leaved Rhododendron Sterling Silver Brooch, 18K Gold Plated Brooch, Pin, Three Colors

**Small-Leaved Rhododendron Sterling Silver Brooch, 18K Gold Plated Brooch, Pin, Three Colors** **✦✦✦ Product Introduction ✦✦✦** The Small-Leaved Rhododendron is a Taiwan endemic species. Its flower language: "Forever Yours," "Joy of Love." Among wild rhododendrons, it has the smallest leaves and is found at elevations of 2,000-3,500 meters. This variety is exceptionally rare. After the delicate rhododendron blooms in May, its unique whorled leaf arrangement retains its elegance. We've drawn inspiration from the small-leaved rhododendron's branched characteristics, preserving its slender leaves to create a three-dimensional accessory with a graceful and refined posture. Through metal craftsmanship, Shì Yè captures the moments of earth's sprouting, blooming, and wilting, conveying the beautiful value of the life cycle. We begin by observing the often-overlooked plants around us, drawing inspiration from the seasonal changes in flora. Our primary materials are recycled silver and copper, embodying the spirit of nature, cycles, and vitality. We create beautiful adornments with a handcrafted touch, extending the life of craftsmanship and imbuing them with energy. ----------------------------------------- **✦✦✦ Product Features ✦✦✦** ■ A brooch suitable for any gender. ■ Secure clasp design for convenient and firm wear. ■ Unique botanical texture design. ■ Naturalistic and realistic plant shapes and textures, each unique. ■ Meticulous attention to detail and wearing comfort. ■ Expertly crafted by our team for durability and resilience. ■ Exclusively designed and handcrafted by the Shì Yè team. ■ Original Taiwan design, handcrafted in limited quantities. ■ Comprehensive after-sales service, including complimentary maintenance and basic repairs. ■ Enjoy a discounted price for custom laser engraving services. ----------------------------------------- **✦✦✦ Product Information ✦✦✦** ■ Quantity: One piece. ■ Dimensions: 4 cm (width) x 6 cm (height).

This composition offers stable anti-allergy properties, enhanced resistance to oxidation, improved hardness, and durability, making it suitable for intricate designs. This is why we choose 925 sterling silver for our collection. Crafted entirely by hand through meticulous polishing by professional artisans, we intentionally retain the forged texture to fully showcase the natural grain and metallic luster of the jewelry. Over time, through exposure to the environment, wear, and personal habits, the jewelry develops its unique patina, reflecting individual style and the depth of time. - **■ Color: Blue-Purple.** **■ Material: International Standard 925 Sterling Silver.** ■ Adhering to the principles of sustainable reuse, we use recycled sterling silver as raw material. 925 sterling silver jewelry contains 92.5% silver and 7.5% alloy, adhering to the internationally recognized 925 standard ratio.

The color distribution on each piece is distinct, showcasing its unique quality.** The jewelry's colors may subtly change with environmental humidity, the wearer's perspiration pH, and friction from wear, which can reduce saturation and luster. The oxidation layer may also wear away over time, revealing the underlying silver. For maintenance of its unique color when the oxidation layer diminishes, we recommend scheduling a vulcanization service. - **■ Color: Gold.** **■ Material: Brass, International Standard 925 Sterling Silver, surface plated with 18K gold.** ■ Using electrolysis, a layer of K gold is plated onto the surface of sterling silver or brass through an electroplating solution. The gold plating layer is approximately 5-10 microns thick, using jewelry-grade, nickel-free plating for a K gold aesthetic. It offers resistance to oxidation and fading, with enhanced hardness. The gold-plated layer, containing gold, can also gradually wear off due to environmental humidity, the wearer's perspiration pH, and friction from wear, revealing the base metal. This is a normal phenomenon. When the gold plating layer wears thin, we recommend scheduling a re-plating service to maintain the jewelry's beautiful finish. ----------------------------------------- **✦✦✦ Packaging ✦✦✦** ■ This item includes gift packaging, making it ideal for gifting. ■ Gift Packaging: Includes a gift box, care card, storage pouch, and sealing bag. ■ The gift box is made from recycled paper. ■ We offer complimentary card writing services; please include your message in the order notes. ■ If you require a gift bag, please request it in the order notes. ----------------------------------------- **✦✦✦ Care Instructions ✦✦✦** ■ Keep jewelry dry at all times. ■ Remove jewelry when sweating heavily, showering, or bathing, as sulfides in moisture can accelerate oxidation. ■ Avoid contact with highly acidic or alkaline substances, such as hot springs, swimming pools, cosmetics, and perfumes. ■ Jewelry develops a unique character through daily wear, environmental humidity, and body oils. ■ Gently wash intricate areas with a mild detergent to remove sweat and dirt, then dry thoroughly and store in a sealed container. ■ When cleaning, avoid contact with gemstones and pearls to prevent permanent fogging or erosion of their surfaces. ■ Due to the softness of the material, avoid pulling, excessive pressure, or bending.
