History, Mythology, and Symbolism
Shoushan stone holds a significant place in Chinese culture. Historically, it has been associated with artistic expression and craftsmanship.

Care Guide
Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the Shoushan stone beads and PVD-plated stainless steel hooks. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the natural surface of the beads or the plating.
Storage: Store your earrings in a soft pouch or a separate compartment to prevent scratches on the stone beads and plated hooks. Keep them away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to preserve the stone’s appearance.
Avoid Moisture and Chemicals: Remove the earrings before swimming, bathing, or applying personal care products like perfume, hairspray, or lotion. These products can negatively affect both the stone and the PVD-plating.
Handling: Handle the earrings with care to avoid chipping or scratching the Shoushan stone beads. Be gentle when putting on or taking off the earrings to maintain their longevity.
By following these care instructions, your Shoushan Stone Earrings will remain in great condition, allowing you to enjoy them for years.
Size Guide
6 & 10mm beads, in some cases the size of the stone beads may vary +-1mm. Hook lengths range between 1cm basic hooks, 1.5+cm English Locks, 2cm silver hooks – refer to the product photos. In newer designs, the stainless steel spacer daisies, bead caps and small beads contribute 3-4mm extra length (refer to product photo) In principle I keep the weight below 5 grams per earring, so it doesn’t stretch or hurt your ears even if you wear it the whole day. Occasionally, for some designs, that weight limit exceeds by a gram – every pair has their specific weight marked under the overview tab. Note that some earring hooks have thicker wires, and if you are not used to wearing earrings daily, using them will feel uncomfortable in the beginning.
