[Qu Shui Chen Handcrafts] Rutilated Quartz & Sterling Silver Pendant

Rutilated Quartz Sterling Silver Pendant. Pendant size: 42x27mm. Metal materials: 925 silver and 999 silver. Surface treatment: Smoked, antiqued finish. While working on a custom Lapis Lazuli piece, I was inspired to create a series with this less common decorative style, and thus the Gemini series was born. Each piece features variations in the outer frame's design and linear texture. This main stone not only possesses all the brilliant characteristics of rutilated quartz but also has a unique feature: a small red rainbow at its center. The frame is constructed with textured lines, accented by small, meteorite-like hammered silver elements. This interplay of metallic luster, layered lines, and the radiant play of light within the main stone creates a truly unique miniature universe. ❖ Product photos are mostly taken in natural daylight.

In addition to commercially available silver chains, we also recommend pairing our oxidized, antiqued sterling silver pieces with stainless steel chains for a harmonious color tone. ❖ Minor clamping or cutting marks may occur during the metal wire weaving process due to variations in handling pressure. These generally do not affect the wearability of the piece. ❖ "Artistic Copper Wire" refers to craft wire coated with plating and a protective layer. "Red Copper Wire" and "Brass Wire" denote 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, or minor chips. Small imperfections may also exist from drilling or polishing. ❖ Shipping defaults to simple packaging with clean protective materials and a shipping bag. A sealed bag will also be included for storage. 【Artistic Copper Wire Woven Jewelry】 ❖ Artistic copper wire is craft wire consisting 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, please do not use silver polishing cloths or toothpaste for cleaning, as this will rapidly wear away the plating. ❖ After wearing, gently wipe away any moisture (especially sweat) with a soft cloth and store in the provided sealed bag. ❖ Please avoid wearing during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as exercise, or when visiting hot springs, as this can accelerate wire degradation and potentially damage natural stones. 【Unplated Copper/Silver Wire Woven Jewelry / Sterling Silver Metalwork Jewelry】 ❖ Red copper, brass, and silver wires are unplated. Natural oxidation is normal and will gradually transform the color to antique bronze/silver. The color change and speed of oxidation vary with wear and individual body chemistry, which is part of the unique character of bare wire jewelry. Red copper tends to oxidize faster (potentially turning antique red within days to weeks), while brass and silver oxidize more slowly. ❖ Wires treated with a sulfurization (antiquing) process have a more stable color tone compared to untreated wires. However, polished areas will still gradually oxidize naturally. ❖ To clean oxidized areas, you can typically use a silver polishing cloth or gently brush with toothpaste, then dry with a cloth or a hairdryer on a cool setting. ❖ After wearing, wipe away any moisture with a soft cloth and store in the provided sealed bag. ❖ Please avoid wearing during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as exercise, or when visiting hot springs, as this can accelerate wire oxidation and potentially damage natural stones. ❖ Pieces made with unplated wire can be sent back for re-polishing (only requiring the sender to cover round-trip shipping costs). 【Natural Stones】 ❖ Natural gemstones may have inclusions, patterns, chips, or black spots. Small imperfections may also exist from drilling or polishing during processing. ❖ Most natural stones used in our creations are semi-precious. Some types may have lower hardness (this will be specifically noted). Please avoid contact with abrasive polishing agents like silver polishing cloths or toothpaste when cleaning the metal components of your jewelry, as these can damage the natural stones. ❖ Please avoid wearing during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as exercise, or when visiting hot springs, as this may damage the natural stones.
