Three in one pendant/charms set - includes a lovely heart shaped amazonite & bronze pendant, and two ocean/beach themed charms in the shape of a sand dollar and a dainty turtle. The pieces have received a touch of dark patina to make the details pop. They come ready to wear on a 45 cm sterling silver chain.
Approximate measurements:
Heart pendant 20 mm x 16 mm (excluding the ring)
Sand dollar charm 10 mm x 10 mm (excluding the ring)
Turtle charm 12 m x 10 mm (excluding the ring)
Each piece was handcrafted by me in sunny Brisbane, made from scratch from sterling silver sheet, decorative sterling silver bezel, recycled sterling silver (the two charms), and the amazonite & bronze composite stone.
Wear them all at once, two at a time or a single one, layer them on different chains - one set, so many options!
Care:
These can be safely polished with a jewellery polishing cloth but be aware that excessive rubbing may result in the removal of the patina. The best way to ensure your pieces retain their looks is by keeping them clean (removing any residues of skin oils, sweat, sunblock etc.), and refraining from wearing them whilst swimming, showering, sleeping. Apply any cosmetic products including perfume and hair spray prior to putting on your jewellery. It is also best to store jewellery away from dust, humidity and direct sunlight, preferably in a zip lock bag or a cloth pouch.
Please note that it is a natural property of sterling silver to acquire darker patina over time. This is completely natural and not a defect. How fast the jewellery tarnishes depends on many factors, including but not limited to the environment (air humidity and pollution, proximity to sea), frequency of wear, body chemistry, storage (some foams and storage boxes include acidic components that speed up tarnishing significantly) and is completely out of my hand once the products leave my studio.
