Preseli Bluestone is a distinctive type of stone that originates from the Preseli Hills in Wales. It is most famously associated with Stonehenge, where it was used to construct the inner ring of the monument. This stone has sparked much debate among historians and geologists regarding its transportation to Stonehenge, given the distance from its source. Theories range from glacial transport to human effort, with some even suggesting more mysterious methods. Beyond its historical intrigue, Preseli Bluestone is also valued for its unique healing properties and is sought after for spiritual practices.
All pendants come in a jewelry gift box with a black waxed cord and small polishing cloth.
Copper wire wrapped pendants are beautiful and unique pieces of jewelry that require some special care. Copper is a metal that can tarnish over time, so it is important to keep your pendants clean and dry. Here are some tips on how to care for your copper wire wrapped pendants:
- Avoid exposing your pendants to moisture, chemicals, or extreme temperatures. This can cause the copper to oxidize and change color. If your pendants get wet, gently pat them dry with a soft cloth.
- Use a jewelry polishing cloth to gently wipe your pendants once in a while. This will help remove any dirt or fingerprints and restore the shine of the copper. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the wire or the stones.
- Store your pendants in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. You can also use a ziplock bag or an anti-tarnish pouch to prevent air exposure. This will help slow down the tarnishing process and keep your pendants looking new.
