The piece opens on the turquoise, a blue-to-green stone, usually opaque, often carrying a darker matrix web across the surface. The second note comes from the sterling silver: a bright white metal with a cool tone and a high polish. As a shape it is a strand that sits at the wrist. It belongs to Lhasa Moments, a series built around highland light, stone colour and architectural lines.
Each material behaves differently, so it is worth knowing how the parts age before you choose. The turquoise appears as an opaque blue-green stone, with a darker matrix webbing that shifts piece to piece. Against the skin, being soft and slightly porous, it prefers to be kept clear of hard contact. Inside the piece, the sterling silver is a cool white metal that takes a mirror-bright polish. Handled often, softer than steel, it collects fine scratches, and the surface slowly shifts toward a darker tone. The silver-tone metal is a bright silver-coloured metal finish rather than solid silver. Over months of wear, it keeps its tone with normal wear, and a plated surface can thin over years of daily contact. 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.
The strand is offered in three wrist ranges, from 6.75–8 in to 9.5–10.5 in. 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. We confirm the current piece, the finished dimensions and the lead time in writing before any payment.
Care
Keep it away from perfume, sunscreen, soap and household cleaners, none of which the stone tolerates well. 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. 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.
