A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE PRODUCT
Design Concept
search stars is centered around the cosmic theme of stars, the moon, and love metaphors:
• New Moon as First Encounter: Inspired by the Turkish proverb “The vows under the new moon are the most sacred”—symbolizing the purity and magic of new beginnings.
• Stars as Yearning: Drawing on Li Qingzhao’s verse “Magpies build a bridge across the stars; after a year apart, we meet again, yet the pain of separation feels endless”—expressing deep, enduring affection like the endless expanse of the starry sky.
Craftsmanship

Hand-drawn dividing lines separate the glaze tones, mimicking the celestial dance of stars and the moon in the night sky, where light and shadow interplay in harmony.
This exquisite necklace features a copper-plated 24K gold base, meticulously crafted through precision electroplating to achieve a lustrous champagne gold finish. This innovative technique preserves the opulence of precious metals while offering an accessible luxury wearing experience at a fraction of the cost.
Adorned with synthetic opal and imitation pearls, the necklace captivates with its celestial charm. The synthetic opal showcases a mesmerizing iridescent play of colors, echoing the natural opal’s ethereal beauty, while the imitation pearls radiate a classic pearly sheen, embodying timeless sophistication.

Craftsmanship & Material Note
This piece is crafted using copper-gold plating with drip glaze technique. The glaze surface undergoes a natural oxidation process over time, gradually developing a vintage patina. This transformation mimics the formation of verdigris (basic copper carbonate, Cu₂(OH)₂CO₃)—a centuries-old phenomenon observed in bronze artifacts, where copper reacts with atmospheric moisture, oxygen, and carbon dioxide .
Scientific Explanation
1. Initial Protection: The gold plating acts as a barrier, slowing copper oxidation.
2. Gradual Exposure: With wear, micro-scratches expose underlying copper, initiating reactions:
• Step 1: Copper oxidizes to CuO (black copper oxide) in humid conditions.
• Step 2: CuO reacts with CO₂ and H₂O to form Cu₂(OH)₂CO₃ (green verdigris) .
3. Aesthetic Stabilization: After 3-6 months, oxidation stabilizes into a mottled antique finish, resembling heirloom silver patina.
Recommended Maintenance
1. Accelerated Aging (Optional):
• For faster patina development, lightly expose to humidity (e.g., place in a steamy bathroom for 2 hours weekly).
2. Controlled Exposure:
• Avoid excessive moisture to preserve gold plating integrity.
3. Enhanced Longevity:
• Clean with pH-neutral jewelry cleaner monthly to prevent uneven oxidation.
Why This Matters
The oxidation process is a testament to craftsmanship, creating a living artwork that evolves with its wearer—a hallmark of artisanal jewelry design.
