Its centre of gravity is the jade, a smooth, subtly translucent stone with a fine internal grain. The copper answers with a warm reddish metal with a soft, low-glare surface, which keeps the palette from settling into a single note. The form is a strand that sits at the wrist, and it belongs to Tsering Treasures, a series centred on warm metals, carved detail and mixed materials. The turtle appears as a rounded shell shape with a marked carapace. It is a recurring motif in East Asian design, used here for its compact, domed silhouette.
Here is how each part of the piece behaves over time. Jade is a different case in wear: it is tough and forgiving in daily wear, and the surface takes a gentle sheen with handling. The copper is a warm red-brown metal that never glares back at you. Against the skin, its surface deepens in tone the longer it is worn, so the colour you receive keeps moving. Inside the piece, the textile cord is a closely braided cord whose matte surface shows the weave up close. Handled often, it softens further with handling, and a strand worn every day will eventually lift where it crosses a metal edge.
The current strand fits a wrist of 5.5–7.1 in (14–18 cm). Ask us for a photograph on a measured wrist if the difference between two options is unclear. What this design carries is cultural context and a personal meaning, and both belong to the wearer. 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
Avoid impact at thin edges and keep it away from household chemicals; a soft dry cloth is enough. 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. Avoid soaking it, and keep perfume and household cleaners off the surface. Store the piece separately so it does not scratch against harder jewellery.
