Spirit Quartz is a gemstone of harmony, alignment, and nurturing spiritual growth. Also known as the cactus quartz or porcupine quartz, this gem takes its creative names from its intriguing appearance. Visually the Spirit Quartz is made up of a main gemstone (for example, Amethyst, Citrine, Clear Quartz or Smoky Quartz) with many other smaller crystals adorning its surface.
The pendant is made through a process called electroforming which creates a coating of pure copper particles on the desired surface – a semi-precious stone or a crystal. As a result of this process, the copper enhances the energy of the stone it is combined with. Making each piece requires over 8 steps that I go through slowly over several days.
Things to keep in mind: - Do not sleep in your piece. - Remove jewelry before bathing, showering, swimming, washing hands, working out etc. Do not expose to chemicals, which include soap, lotions, and perfume.
Please take note that over time, the color of your copper may slightly change due to the natural oils in your skin. Prolonged/repeated contact with water or chemicals (soap, lotion, etc) may cause oxidation of the metal. The acidic nature of human sweat and other chemicals/oils on the skin, such as soaps, lotions and makeup, react with the copper. This reaction causes a green patina or surface coating to form on the copper, and that color gets transferred onto the skin. This staining can be easily rinsed off with soap and water and is harmless.
Copper is known to help with inflammation and pain, so I don't use any coated sealants for this reason. This necklace will order naturally tarnish over time.
Tip: apply a thin layer of clear polish to the area that touches your skin to help prevent skin coloring.
If your item was left unsealed or it has worn away and you would like to give it a polish, you can use a mild cleanser or a polishing cloth/Sunshine cloth. Polishing cloths will remove patina, but it will regain a natural patina over time.
Q. Will the PATINA color change?
A. Yes it will change depending on how much you wear it or how long it sits not being touched. Patina colors change almost immediately. So variations in patina darkness and colors will occur from the moment it's photographed to the time you get it. This is natural and I do not have much control over it.
Copper is a natural element and the patina is only on the surface.
Additional policy:
I use 100% all natural gemstones which are subject to some natural flaws and inclusions, please be advised that these are not "sub par" by any stretch, just unique and beautiful, just the way nature made them.
All of my jewelry is created in my home studio.
Handmade with love ♥.
