【Qu Qu Chen Handcrafted】 Rutilated Quartz and Chrome Diopside Sterling Silver Pendant

Rutilated Quartz and Chrome Diopside Pendant, crafted from 999 silver (with some structural components in 925 silver). The upper and lower sections can be separated into two distinct pendants, with dimensions as follows: Overall pendant: 24x70mm Chrome Diopside alone: 21x30mm Rutilated Quartz alone: 24x43mm ❖ It is normal for the sum of the individual lengths to differ from the overall length due to overlapping components when assembled. This design, which has been a recurring inspiration, features a detachable upper and lower section. Consequently, the bail for the lower rutilated quartz pendant is designed to be movable. A small batch of loose rutilated quartz stones was acquired for this collection, each possessing a unique landscape within. This particular water-drop shaped stone, with its ideal size, was chosen to realize this design. It is paired with a chrome diopside, known for its deep green hue, and adorned with harmoniously curved embellishments to create a cohesive and balanced aesthetic. ❖ Unless otherwise specified, the jewelry pieces do not come with a chain. We are currently curating suitable chain options and plan to offer them for additional purchase soon. For styling, beyond commercially available silver chains, pieces treated with a darkened patina are also recommended to be paired with stainless steel chains for a more complementary color palette. ❖ Product photos are mostly taken in natural daylight. Dimensions are listed as length x width (x thickness). ❖ During the metal weaving process, minor indentations or cutting marks on the wire may occur due to handling pressure. These typically do not affect the wearability of the piece. ❖ "Artistic Copper Wire" refers to craft-specific wire comprising copper, 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 inclusions, patterns, or minor imperfections. Small flaws from drilling or polishing may also be present. ❖ The default shipping packaging is simple, including protective cushioning and a shipping bag. A sealed pouch for storage will also be provided. 【Artistic Copper Wire Woven Jewelry】 ❖ Artistic copper wire is a specialized craft wire made of pure copper, plating, and a protective layer. With normal use and care, its color can remain vibrant for several years. ❖ Due to the plating and protective layer on the surface, avoid using silver polishing cloths or toothpaste for cleaning, as this will quickly damage the plating. ❖ After wearing, gently wipe the piece with a soft cloth to remove moisture (especially sweat) and store it in the provided sealed pouch. ❖ Please avoid wearing the jewelry during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as exercise, or while bathing in hot springs. This can accelerate wear on the wire and potentially damage the natural stones. 【Unplated Copper Wire / Silver Wire Woven Jewelry / Sterling Silver Metalwork Jewelry】 ❖ Red copper wire, brass wire, and silver wire are unplated materials. Natural oxidation is a normal phenomenon, causing them to gradually develop a patina (antique bronze/silver color). The color changes and oxidation speed vary with wear and individual body chemistry, which is part of the unique character of unplated wire jewelry. Red copper wire tends to oxidize faster (developing an antique red copper color within days to weeks), while brass and silver oxidize more slowly. ❖ Wires treated with a patina (darkened finish) have a more stable color tone compared to untreated wires. However, polished areas will still naturally oxidize over time. ❖ If you wish to clean oxidized areas, you can typically use a silver polishing cloth or gently brush with toothpaste, then dry with a cloth or a cool setting on a hairdryer. ❖ After wearing, wipe the piece with a soft cloth to remove moisture and store it in the provided sealed pouch. ❖ Please avoid wearing the jewelry during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as exercise, or while bathing in hot springs. This can accelerate 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 inherently have inclusions, patterns, mineral spots, or black dots. Minor imperfections from drilling or polishing may also be present. ❖ The natural stones used in our pieces are mostly semi-precious. Some stone types may have lower hardness (this will be specifically noted). Please try to avoid contact with polishing agents like silver polishing cloths or toothpaste when cleaning the metal components of your jewelry, as they can damage the natural stones. ❖ Please avoid wearing the jewelry during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as exercise, or while bathing in hot springs, as this may damage the natural stones.
