Everything else in the piece is arranged around the rose quartz, a soft pink translucent quartz, usually cloudy rather than clear. And where the first is quiet, the amethyst is a violet quartz, transparent to cloudy, with the even colour strongest in the centre of each bead. It takes the form of a strand that sits at the wrist, and it belongs to Dolma Designs, a series using compassion and quiet courage as contemporary design themes. The pi xiu appears as a compact seated creature figure. It is a traditional Chinese motif, used here for the strength of its silhouette and its place in that visual tradition.
Each component is listed with the way it behaves, so nothing about the ageing comes as a surprise. For the rose quartz, the behaviour matters more than the finish: it wears well, though the colour is light-sensitive over long periods in strong sun. Amethyst is a different case in wear: it wears well day to day, though the colour fades under prolonged strong sunlight. Inside the piece, the citrine is a transparent quartz in warm yellow through to amber tones. Handled often, it takes a bright polish and holds colour well, though it is worth keeping out of long exposure to strong sun. The copper appears as a warm reddish metal with a soft, low-glare surface. Over months of wear, it darkens toward a brown patina with wear and skin contact, which some owners prefer and others polish back. Textile Cord — a closely braided cord whose matte surface shows the weave up close. In everyday use, it softens further with handling, and a strand worn every day will eventually lift where it crosses a metal edge.
Two wrist ranges are listed, spanning 5.5–5.9 in (14–15 cm) at the smallest and 5.5–5.9 in (14–15 cm) at the largest. Ask us for a photograph on a measured wrist if the difference between two options is unclear. The warm reading of this design is symbolic; the meaning it holds is the wearer’s. Because these are natural materials, expect small differences in colour and pattern between the photo and your piece. Final measurements, availability and the preparation window are all confirmed in writing before payment.
Care
Store it out of direct sun and wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Avoid impact and household chemicals and wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Wipe it dry after wear and store it away from damp air; polish only with a copper-safe cloth if you want the original brightness. Keep it dry, avoid perfume and household chemicals, and replace the cord once the fibres begin to lift. Store the piece separately so it does not scratch against harder jewellery.
