【Qu Shui Chen Handmade】Spinel Wire-Woven Clavicle Necklace

Spinel clavicle necklace, featuring a central pendant with a gray spinel as the main stone. Surrounding stones, radiating outwards from the center, include faceted堇青石 beads, rectangular拉長石 beads, and irregular green藍晶石. Small black spinel beads adorn the tail end of the chain, complemented by a Byzantine-style decorative chain. The wire is antiqued pure copper, and the clasp is brass. The necklace measures 39.5cm in total length, with two adjustable links at the end, allowing for minor length adjustments at 39cm and 39.5cm. This might be the shortest necklace in my current collection! 😆 Its length typically falls just above the collarbone (though this can vary slightly depending on individual neck circumference). In some of the current photos, it might not perfectly represent how it looks when worn, as a necklace of this length tends to hug the curve of the neck more closely rather than having a pronounced drop. I'll be sharing photos on a bust form in my Stories soon for a better reference. Among the stones used in this piece, I'm particularly fond of the hexagonal, angular green藍晶石. After some initial ideas, I was looking for small, dark faceted gemstones or those with a bright, metallic sheen, perhaps like black sunstone or star sapphire. It was a happy coincidence that I acquired this gray spinel, which finally allowed me to complete the overall design. Each small accent stone arranged alongside the spinel pendant has been carefully selected: the depth of color in the faceted堇青石, the play of color and sheen in the rectangular拉長石, the placement of the green藍晶石 according to their unique shapes, and even the assembly of the chain links starting from the C-rings. Every component has found its ideal position, making this piece the most perfect realization of the design. ❖ Product photos are mostly taken in natural daylight. Dimensions are length x width (x thickness). ❖ Unless otherwise stated, metalwork and silver jewelry pieces do not come with a separate chain. For styling, 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 weaving process, slight crimp or cut marks may occur due to handling pressure. These generally do not affect the wearability of the piece. ❖ "Artistic Copper Wire" refers to copper wire with a plating and protective layer, specifically designed for craft use. "Red Copper Wire" and "Brass Wire" refer to 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 be present from drilling or polishing. ❖ Shipping will be in simple, protective packaging with a clean, anti-collision material and a mailing bag. A resealable bag will also be included for storage. 【Artistic Copper Wire Woven Jewelry】 ❖ Artistic copper wire is craft-specific wire composed of pure copper, plating, and a protective layer. With proper use and care, its color can remain largely unchanged for several years. ❖ Because the surface has plating and a protective layer, please do not use silver polishing cloths or toothpaste for cleaning, as this will quickly damage the plating. ❖ After wearing, gently wipe off any moisture, especially sweat, with a soft cloth and store in the provided resealable bag. ❖ Please avoid wearing these pieces during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as exercise, or while in hot springs, as this can accelerate wear and potentially damage the natural stones. 【Unplated Copper Wire / Silver Wire Woven Jewelry / Metalwork Sterling Silver Jewelry】 ❖ Red copper wire, brass wire, and silver wire are unplated materials. Natural oxidation is normal and will gradually turn into a antique bronze or antique silver color. The color change and rate of oxidation will vary with wear and individual body chemistry, which is also a characteristic of bare wire jewelry. Red copper wire tends to oxidize faster (turning into an antique red-bronze color within days to weeks), while brass and silver oxidize more slowly. ❖ Wire that has undergone a patination (antiquing) process will have a more stable color tone compared to untreated wire, but 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 thoroughly or cool with a hairdryer. ❖ After wearing, wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth and store in the provided resealable bag. ❖ Please avoid wearing these pieces during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as exercise, or while in hot springs, as this can accelerate oxidation and potentially damage the natural stones. ❖ Unplated wire pieces can be sent back for re-polishing at any time (only return shipping fees will apply). 【Natural Stones】 ❖ Natural gemstones may have inclusions, patterns, chips, or dark spots. Minor imperfections from drilling or polishing may also be present. ❖ Most natural stones used in these pieces are semi-precious. Some stones may have a lower hardness (this will be specifically noted), so please try to avoid contact with polishing compounds like silver polishing cloths or toothpaste when cleaning the metal parts of your jewelry, as these can damage the natural stones. ❖ Please avoid wearing these pieces during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as exercise, or while in hot springs, as this may damage the natural stones.
