[Qu Shui Chen Handcrafted] Garnet Sterling Silver Pendant

The main stone is a well-saturated red garnet, with good translucency and a color that doesn't lean too orange even against a light background. Please note that this stone possesses some inclusions, which are more clearly visible in the subsequent photos and video taken with light transmission and a white background. A classic garden design has been crafted for this vibrant red hue, featuring a three-dimensional floral motif, hand-hammered leaves, and gently curving lines. ❖ Product photos are mostly taken in natural daylight. Dimensions are listed as Length x Width (x Thickness). ❖ Chains are not included with jewelry pieces by default. For pairing, beyond commercially available silver chains, we recommend pairing sterling silver pieces with oxidized finishes with stainless steel chains, as they complement the tone well. ❖ During the wire weaving process, minor marks from cutting or handling may occur due to hand pressure. These generally do not affect the overall appearance when worn. ❖ "Artistic Copper Wire" refers to specialized craft wire consisting of a copper core, plating, and a protective layer. "Red Copper Wire" and "Brass Wire" refer to bare copper wires (without plating). Silver wire will be specified as 925 or 999 sterling silver. ❖ Natural stones may inherently have characteristics such as cloudiness, patterns, or mineral inclusions. Small imperfections may also be present from drilling or polishing. ❖ Shipping is by default in simple packaging, including protective cushioning materials and a mailing bag, along with a sealed bag for storage. 【Artistic Copper Wire Woven Jewelry】 ❖ Artistic copper wire is a specialized craft wire composed of a pure copper core, plating, and a protective layer. With proper use and care, its color can be maintained for several years without significant changes. ❖ Due to the plating and protective layer on the surface, please avoid using silver polishing cloths and toothpaste for cleaning, as this will rapidly wear down the plating. ❖ After wearing, gently wipe away any moisture with a soft cloth (especially sweat) and store in the provided sealed bag. ❖ It is best to avoid wearing these pieces during activities that cause profuse sweating, such as exercise, and when visiting hot springs. This will not only accelerate wire wear but may also damage the natural stones. 【Unplated Copper Wire / Silver Wire Woven Jewelry / Goldwork Sterling Silver Jewelry】 ❖ Red copper, brass, and silver wires are unplated. Natural oxidation is a normal phenomenon, and they will gradually develop a antique bronze/silver appearance. The color change and oxidation rate will 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. ❖ Wire that has undergone a sulfurization (antiquing) treatment will have a more stable color tone compared to untreated wire. However, polished areas will still 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 with a cloth or a cool setting on a hairdryer. ❖ After wearing, gently wipe away any moisture with a soft cloth and store in the provided sealed bag. ❖ It is best to avoid wearing these pieces during activities that cause profuse sweating, such as exercise, and when visiting hot springs. This will not only accelerate wire oxidation but may also 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 mineral stones may have cloudiness, patterns, mineral inclusions, or black spots. Small imperfections may also be present from drilling or polishing during processing. ❖ The natural stones used in our pieces are mostly semi-precious stones. Some types of stones may have lower hardness (this will be clearly noted). Please try to avoid contact between polishing items like silver polishing cloths and toothpaste and the natural stones when cleaning the metal parts of the jewelry. ❖ It is best to avoid wearing these pieces during activities that cause profuse sweating, such as exercise, and when visiting hot springs, as this may damage the natural stones.
