The first decision in this design was the turquoise, a blue-to-green stone, usually opaque, often carrying a darker matrix web across the surface. Beside it, the brass is a warm yellow metal with a slightly duller, more golden surface than copper, so the piece reads in two registers at once. 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. 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.
A short account of the materials, taken in the order they matter to the design. 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 brass is a warm yellow metal, softer in colour than copper and slightly less reflective. Handled often, it darkens with use, and in humid air it can take on a green film that wipes away easily.
Sizing runs across three stated ranges: 6.5–8 in, up to 9.5–10.5 in. Where the listed range is close to your measurement, it is worth confirming rather than guessing. Courage is offered as a personal reminder rather than a promised outcome. 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. Wipe it dry after wear; a soft cloth restores the shine, and any intentional antique finish should be left alone. Remove it before a shower or a swim, and dry it fully if it does get wet. Storing it apart from other pieces keeps the surface in the condition it arrived in.
