[Qu Shui Chen Handcraft] Branch Crystal Wire-Woven Pendant

Branch crystal pendant. Wire is titanium-colored artistic copper wire. Overall dimensions (L x W) are 48x27mm. One of the small branch crystal pieces that always draws attention at in-person markets. Talking about them makes me more talkative, as I'm quite fond of most manganese minerals myself. Currently, my collection includes manganese crystal, agate, opal, and sandstone, and I'm delighted to share them with you. The raw stone in this piece features a rarer, slightly thicker branch formation among the manganese crystals I've collected. I chose to orient it this way because I particularly liked the horizontal landscape of the stone. Through weaving and the interplay of curves with varying textures, I aimed to extend the scenery towards the heavens and earth, ultimately achieving the balanced composition I envisioned. ❖ Product photos are mostly taken in natural daylight. Dimensions are Length x Width (x Thickness). ❖ Metalwork and sterling silver pieces do not come with a chain by default. For styling, besides commercially available silver chains, sterling silver pieces with a vintage oxidized finish also pair well with stainless steel chains for a harmonious color tone. ❖ During the wire weaving process, slight marks from pinching or cutting may occur due to hand pressure, but these generally do not affect wearability. ❖ "Artistic copper wire" refers to craft-specific wire with a copper core, plating, and protective layer. "Red copper wire" and "brass wire" refer to bare copper wires (without plating). Silver wire will be specified as 925 or 999 silver. ❖ Natural stones may inherently have characteristics such as inclusions, patterns, or small flaws. Minor imperfections from drilling or polishing may also be present. ❖ Shipping is by default in simple packaging, including protective cushioning and a mailing bag, along with a resealable pouch for storage. 【Artistic Copper Wire Woven Jewelry】 ❖ Artistic copper wire is a craft-specific wire with a copper core, plating, and protective layer. With normal use and care, the 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 or toothpaste for cleaning, as this can rapidly wear away the plating. ❖ After wearing, gently wipe away any moisture (especially sweat) with a soft cloth and store in the provided resealable pouch. ❖ Please try to avoid wearing during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as exercise, or while visiting 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】 ❖ Red copper wire, brass wire, and silver wire are unplated. Natural oxidation is a normal phenomenon, causing them to gradually develop a patina (antique bronze/silver color). The color change and rate of oxidation will vary depending on wear and individual body chemistry, which is part of the unique character of unplated wire jewelry. In terms of oxidation speed, red copper wire tends to oxidize more quickly (potentially developing an antique reddish-brown color within days to weeks), while brass and silver oxidize more slowly. ❖ Wires that have undergone a darkening (vintage) treatment will have a more stable hue compared to untreated wires, 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 scrub with toothpaste, then wipe dry or use a hairdryer on a cool setting. ❖ After wearing, wipe away any moisture with a soft cloth and store in the provided resealable pouch. ❖ Please try to avoid wearing during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as exercise, or while visiting hot springs. This can accelerate wire oxidation and potentially damage the natural stones. ❖ Pieces made with unplated wires can be sent back for re-polishing at a later time (only return shipping fees will apply). 【Natural Stones】 ❖ Natural minerals may have inclusions, patterns, small flaws, or black spots. Minor imperfections from drilling or polishing may also be present. ❖ The natural stones used in the 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 such as silver polishing cloths or toothpaste when cleaning the metal parts of the jewelry, as these can affect the natural stones. ❖ Please try to avoid wearing during activities that cause heavy sweating, such as exercise, or while visiting hot springs, as this may damage the natural stones.
