The intense heat and pressure generated by the impact melted the meteorite and surrounding rocks into a glass-like substance resembling frothy waves. It was discovered in 1787 near the Moldau River in the Czech Republic, hence its English name "Moldavite" and Chinese name "捷克隕石" (Czech Meteorite). **Please carefully check if the chain length and style meet your needs.

The salt from seawater and the acidity of rainwater in nature can slightly corrode metal and cause oxidation. Sulfur in hot springs can also cause jewelry to darken and undergo sulfidation. If exposed to these substances, rinse the silver jewelry with clean water and dry it thoroughly. ◮ Human sweat, with its slightly acidic pH of 4 for antibacterial purposes, can cause corrosion and accelerate alloy oxidation over prolonged contact. As our jewelry is not plated with other materials, 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 pristine condition of your silver jewelry, we recommend washing and drying it after wearing it for the day if it has come into contact with sweat, and then ensuring it is kept dry. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also cause silver jewelry to erode. Products with any chemical additives can indeed speed up the oxidation of jewelry. Common examples include: skincare products, sunscreens, cosmetics, perfumes, essential oils, detergents, chlorine in swimming pools, etc. If you habitually wear perfume, it is recommended to apply perfume first and then wear your jewelry, avoiding direct contact between the jewelry and the perfume. ◮ Develop good habits for wearing and storing your jewelry. Taiwan's climate is humid, with relatively high air moisture. When not wearing your jewelry, be sure to wipe off any sweat or oils with a dry cloth and store it in a zip-lock bag to block air and maintain dryness. Store pieces separately to prevent friction and surface scratches. ◮ Regarding the sulfidation of silver jewelry 925 sterling silver can easily oxidize and turn yellow or black when exposed to air, which is a natural reaction of silver jewelry, similar to how pure silver reacts with hot spring water. It can be restored to its original luster by gently polishing with a silver polishing cloth. However, in hard-to-reach areas like the crevices of a silver chain, the silver may appear slightly darkened. Sulfidation is a technique where 925 sterling silver jewelry is intentionally oxidized to create a rustic, antique, dark appearance, enhancing contrast and adding depth. This process is more uniform and aesthetically pleasing than natural air oxidation, and the crevices do not require extra cleaning. Regular wear, allowing the jewelry's surface to rub against clothing, can help maintain its pristine look. ◮ About Us To present the highest quality, each of our creations undergoes repeated inspections, adjustments, and polishing. We absolutely do not allow any pinholes or imperfections. To ensure the resilience of the material, we repeatedly forge and hammer the silver, giving our jewelry a unique luster and texture. Protective plating is highly likely to peel off with prolonged wear and can have adverse effects on both the environment and the human body, while also obscuring the natural luster of silver. Therefore, our creations 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 own unique piece of jewelry here.
