The clear quartz sets the tone: a near-colourless, transparent stone with faint internal veining and small natural inclusions. Set against that, the silver-tone metal is a bright silver-coloured metal finish rather than solid silver. The form is a hanging piece that sits at the collarbone, and it 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.
Each component is listed with the way it behaves, so nothing about the ageing comes as a surprise. The clear quartz is a transparent, near-colourless stone whose faint internal veining shows through the polish. Worn regularly, it holds a clean polish well and hides light handling better than a softer stone would. Silver-Tone Metal — a bright cool-toned metal finish, plated rather than solid silver. Day to day, the finish holds up well day to day, though a plated layer thins gradually where it rubs. The textile cord appears as a tight woven cord with a matte, slightly fibrous surface. Against the skin, it stays soft against the skin and holds a knot well, but a daily-worn strand will fray where it rubs a clasp.
The piece lists two configurations, namely “NECKLACE” and “NECKLACE & BRACELET”. The photographs and the written summary carry the same detail, so nothing about the selected piece is left to assumption. What the motif stands for is a personal intention, and no result is promised for it. Colour, veining and grain differ between individual stones and beads, which is normal rather than a fault. The piece, its dimensions and the preparation window are set out in writing first, and only then is payment taken.
Care
Avoid prolonged direct sun and household chemicals, and wipe it with a soft dry cloth. 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. Water, perfume and cleaning products are the three things most likely to shorten its life. Keep it out of a damp room and separate from harder pieces, and the finish will hold far longer.
