Citrine gives the design its starting point: a transparent quartz in warm yellow through to amber tones. And where the first is quiet, the sterling silver is a bright white metal with a cool tone and a high polish. Physically it is a hanging piece that sits at the collarbone. The piece belongs to Lhasa Moments, a series built around highland light, stone colour and architectural lines. The mountain motif takes the form of a ridgeline silhouette. High ground recurs throughout this studio’s design language, and the profile is used here as a way of holding a landscape in mind rather than as a claim about where the piece was made.
What follows is a plain description of each material, including how it changes. Citrine needs a separate note: it takes a bright polish and holds colour well, though it is worth keeping out of long exposure to strong sun. The sterling silver is a cool white metal that takes a mirror-bright polish. Against the skin, softer than steel, it collects fine scratches, and the surface slowly shifts toward a darker tone. Inside the piece, the silver-tone metal is a bright cool-toned metal finish, plated rather than solid silver. Handled often, the finish holds up well day to day, though a plated layer thins gradually where it rubs.
The design is offered in three configurations — “Necklace”, “Ring” and “Necklace & Ring” — so the choice is about the option rather than the size. Ask for extra photographs of the exact piece if any detail matters to your decision. The warm reading of this design is symbolic, and the meaning rests with the wearer. Bead tone, matrix and grain will not repeat exactly from one piece to the next, and that is normal. Nothing is charged until the exact piece and its measurements have been confirmed with you in writing.
Care
Avoid impact and household chemicals and wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Keep it dry, store it in a low-air space, and use a non-abrasive silver cloth when you want the original brightness back. Keep it away from water, perfume and abrasive cloths so the finish lasts longer. Avoid soaking it, and keep perfume and household cleaners off the surface. Put it on last and take it off first, and keep it in its own pouch between wears.
