If you mistakenly choose incorrectly, you will be responsible for the round-trip shipping costs for length exchanges.** **Important Notes for First-Time Silver Jewelry Wearers** ◮ It is advisable to avoid activities such as soaking in hot springs or swimming while wearing silver jewelry. The salt in seawater and the acidity of rainwater in nature can slightly corrode metal and cause oxidation. Sulfur in hot springs can cause jewelry to turn black and undergo sulfidation. If exposed to such substances, it is recommended to rinse the silver jewelry with clean water and then dry it. ◮ Human sweat, which has a low pH of 4 for sterilizing the skin, has been shown to cause corrosion to metals and accelerate alloy oxidation with prolonged contact. As our jewelry is not plated with other materials on the surface, it is more susceptible to corrosion and breakage when enclosed by sweat. However, **not everyone's sweat will cause breakage. If you have had similar experiences, please be extra cautious.** To maintain the newness of your silver jewelry, it is recommended to wash and dry it after wearing it for the day if it comes into contact with sweat, and keep it dry. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also cause silver jewelry to corrode. Products with chemical additives can indeed accelerate the oxidation of jewelry. Common examples include: skincare products, sunscreen, cosmetics, perfumes, essential oils, detergents, chlorine in swimming pools, etc. For those who habitually wear perfume, it is recommended to apply perfume first and then wear jewelry, avoiding direct contact between the jewelry and the perfume. ◮ Develop good habits for use and storage. Taiwan's climate is humid, and the air humidity is relatively high. When not wearing the jewelry, be sure to wipe off any sweat or oil with a dry cloth, and store it in a ziplock bag to block air and maintain dryness. Store jewelry pieces separately to prevent them from rubbing against each other and causing surface scratches or damage. ◮ Regarding the sulfidation of silver jewelry 925 sterling silver is prone to oxidizing and 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. A gentle wipe with a silver polishing cloth can restore its original luster. However, in hard-to-reach areas like the crevices of a silver chain, it may appear slightly darker. The sulfidation technique involves directly oxidizing 925 sterling silver jewelry to create a rustic, aged, dark appearance, enhancing contrast and adding depth. This is more uniform and aesthetically pleasing than natural air oxidation, and the crevices do not require extra cleaning. Frequent wear, where the surface of the silver jewelry rubs against clothing, can help maintain its newness. ◮ About Us To present the highest quality, each of our pieces is meticulously crafted through repeated inspections, adjustments, and polishing, with absolutely no tolerance for porosity or imperfections. To ensure structural integrity, we repeatedly forge and hammer the silver, giving our jewelry a unique luster and texture that sets it apart. Protective plating has a high probability of peeling off with prolonged wear, which can affect both the environment and the human body, and it also obscures the natural luster of silver. Therefore, our pieces are never plated. We invest significantly more time in the details. If you have the opportunity to purchase one of our pieces, you will notice that its oxidation rate is considerably slower compared to most other silver products, and its luster is also distinct. We hope you find your unique piece of jewelry here.
