This piece is made using a complex enamel technique involving hand-pulled gold wires filled and fired, so it is not recommended to wear while showering. The craftsmanship of the Tianhe stone is intricate: two sections of gold are separately woven with wire drawing techniques, sandwiching a piece of Tianhe stone in the middle. Due to the tiny gaps inherent in this structure, slight sounds when shaking are normal and do not indicate quality issues. High-quality Tianhe stone should avoid contact with water, perfume, cosmetics, or hot spring water, as these may affect its luster (you know what we mean, right?).
In contrast, the openwork designs are all plated with V-gold over 22K gold—a technique that is actually the most technically challenging and sophisticated. These pieces are water-resistant and suitable for wearing while bathing. Larger in size and more majestic in appearance, they exhibit exquisite detail and clear background coloring. From a distance, the Tianhe stone sparkles beautifully, appearing bright and vivid.
