[QuShuiChen Handmade] Kyanite Wire Wrapped Pendant

Kyanite pendant. Oxidized copper wire wrapping. Overall dimensions (L x W): 40 x 21 mm. This piece was created during a market event. There were so many people queuing for photos that I've actually forgotten which market it was from! XD However, oxidized copper wire can be restored to look like new with a simple re-oxidation and polish. Travelers often ask about caring for copper wire; it's similar to caring for sterling silver. You can use a polishing cloth (the kind for silver), a polishing stick (nail buffing sticks from beauty stores can also work!), or even toothpaste for a gentle scrub. Just be sure to dry it thoroughly before storing. If you find the natural patina becomes too dark over time, you can send it back to me for polishing, just like with my sterling silver pieces. There's no extra charge, only the cost of shipping. ❖ Product photos are mostly taken in natural daylight. Dimensions are length x width (x thickness). ❖ Metalwork and silver jewelry pieces do not come with a chain by default. For styling, besides commercially available silver chains, pieces with a blackened, oxidized finish are also recommended to be paired with stainless steel chains for a harmonious color tone. ❖ Minor nicks or cut marks on the wire may occur during the wire weaving process due to handling pressure, but these generally do not affect the wearability. ❖ "Artistic copper wire" refers to copper wire with plating and a protective layer, specifically 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 mineral flaws. Small imperfections may also be present from drilling or polishing. ❖ Shipping is by default in simple packaging, using clean, impact-resistant materials and a shipping bag. A sealed bag for storage will also be included. 【Artistic Copper Wire Woven Jewelry】 ❖ Artistic copper wire is craft-specific wire consisting of a copper core, plating, and a protective layer. With normal 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 wear away the plating. ❖ After wearing, please wipe off any moisture, especially sweat, with a soft cloth and store in the provided sealed bag. ❖ Please avoid wearing this jewelry during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as sports, and when visiting hot springs, as 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 all unplated. Natural oxidation is a normal phenomenon, causing them to gradually develop a antique bronze or antique silver hue. The resulting color and speed of oxidation will vary depending on wear and individual body chemistry, which is part of the unique character of bare wire jewelry. In my experience, red copper wire oxidizes more quickly (sometimes within days to weeks, it can turn into an antique reddish-brown color), while brass and silver oxidize more slowly. ❖ Wire that has undergone a darkening (oxidized) treatment will have a more stable hue compared to untreated wire. However, 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 scrub with toothpaste and then dry thoroughly or use a hairdryer on a cool setting. ❖ After wearing, wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth and store in the provided sealed bag. ❖ Please avoid wearing this jewelry during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as sports, and when visiting hot springs, as this can accelerate oxidation and potentially damage the natural stones. ❖ Pieces made with unplated wire can be sent back for re-polishing (you will only be responsible for the round-trip shipping costs). 【Natural Stones】 ❖ Natural mineral stones may have inclusions, patterns, mineral flaws, or black spots. Small imperfections may also exist from drilling or polishing during the crafting process. ❖ The natural stones used in these pieces are mostly semi-precious stones. Some stone types may have lower hardness (this will be noted specifically), so please try to avoid contact with polishing agents like silver polishing cloths or toothpaste when cleaning the metal parts of the jewelry, as these can damage the stones. ❖ Please avoid wearing this jewelry during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as sports, and when visiting hot springs, as this may damage the natural stones.
