Though unassuming, a closer look reveals intricate combinations and beautiful color palettes. Exquisitely detailed and delicate beings. Formed approximately 15 million years ago, Moldavite originated from the impact of a massive meteorite on Earth's surface. The intense heat and pressure from this cosmic event fused the meteorite with surrounding stones, creating a glassy substance resembling swirling waves. Moldavite was discovered in the Moldau River valley in the Czech Republic, hence its English name, and is known as "Czech Meteorite" in Chinese. **Please confirm that the "chain length" and "style" meet your needs. If you make an incorrect judgment, you will be responsible for the round-trip shipping costs for exchanges.** **Important Information for First-Time Silver Jewelry Wearers** ◮ Avoid wearing silver jewelry while bathing in hot springs or swimming. The salt in seawater and the acidity of rainwater can slightly corrode metals and cause oxidation. Sulfur in hot springs will also tarnish jewelry and cause it to sulfide. If exposed to such substances, it is recommended to rinse the silver jewelry with clean water and then dry it. ◮ Human sweat has a slightly acidic pH of 4, used by the body to kill bacteria. Prolonged contact has been proven to corrode metals and accelerate alloy oxidation. Our jewelry is not electroplated on the surface, making it more susceptible to corrosion and breakage when encased in sweat. However, **not everyone's sweat will cause breakage. If you have had similar experiences, please be extra mindful.** To keep your silver jewelry looking new, it is recommended to wash and dry it after wearing it for the day if it comes into contact with sweat. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also cause silver jewelry to erode. Products with chemical additives can accelerate the oxidation of jewelry. Common examples include: skincare products, sunscreen, cosmetics, perfumes, essential oils, detergents, and chlorine in swimming pools. If you habitually wear perfume, it is recommended to spray perfume first and then wear your jewelry, avoiding direct contact between the jewelry and the perfume. ◮ Develop good habits for usage and storage. Taiwan's climate is humid, and the air humidity is relatively high. When not wearing your jewelry, be sure to wipe off any sweat or oils with a dry cloth. Store it in a ziplock bag to prevent air exposure and maintain dryness. Also, store your jewelry pieces separately to avoid friction and surface scratches. ◮ Regarding the sulfidation of silver jewelry 925 sterling silver is prone to oxidation, turning yellow or black when exposed to air. This is a natural reaction of silver jewelry, similar to how pure silver reacts with hot spring water. Simply gently polishing with a silver polishing cloth will restore its original luster. However, in hard-to-reach areas, like the crevices of a silver chain, it can appear slightly dark. The technique of sulfidation directly oxidizes 925 sterling silver jewelry to create an antique, aged dark appearance, enhancing contrast and providing a more layered look. It appears more uniform and aesthetically pleasing than natural air oxidation, and the crevices do not require extra cleaning. Frequent wear, with the surface of the jewelry rubbing against clothing, helps maintain its shine. ◮ About Us To present the highest quality, each of our pieces is meticulously crafted through repeated inspection, refinement, and polishing. We allow no imperfections or flaws. To ensure structural integrity, we repeatedly forge and hammer the metal, giving our silver jewelry a unique luster and texture. Protective electroplated coatings are highly likely to peel off with long-term wear, affecting both the environment and the human body, and obscuring the natural luster of silver. Therefore, our pieces are never electroplated. We invest significantly more time in the details. If you happen to purchase one of our pieces, you will notice that its oxidation rate is considerably slower, and its luster is different compared to most other silver products. We hope you find a unique piece that belongs to you here.
