The jade leads here, and it is a smooth, subtly translucent stone with a fine internal grain. The sterling silver provides the counterweight, being a bright white metal with a cool tone and a high polish. Physically it is a strand that sits at the wrist. The piece belongs to Lhasa Moments, a series built around highland light, stone colour and architectural lines.
Here is how each part of the piece behaves over time. Jade needs a separate note: it is tough and forgiving in daily wear, and the surface takes a gentle sheen with handling. Sterling Silver — a cool white metal that takes a mirror-bright polish. Day to day, softer than steel, it collects fine scratches, and the surface slowly shifts toward a darker tone. The silver-tone metal appears as a bright silver-coloured metal finish rather than solid silver. Against the skin, it keeps its tone with normal wear, and a plated surface can thin over years of daily contact. Inside the piece, the copper is a warm red-brown metal that never glares back at you. Handled often, its surface deepens in tone the longer it is worn, so the colour you receive keeps moving. The textile cord is a tight woven cord with a matte, slightly fibrous surface. Over months of wear, it stays soft against the skin and holds a knot well, but a daily-worn strand will fray where it rubs a clasp.
The current strand fits a wrist of 6.3–7.5 in (16–19 cm). Ask us for a photograph on a measured wrist if the difference between two options is unclear. The theme here is courage as a daily cue; nothing about the piece is a promise of safety. Bead tone, matrix and grain will not repeat exactly from one piece to the next, and that is normal. Availability, the final measurements and the preparation window are confirmed with you in writing before payment.
Care
Avoid impact at thin edges and keep it away from household chemicals; a soft dry cloth is enough. 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. 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. Keep it out of a damp room and separate from harder pieces, and the finish will hold far longer.
