Please refer to the size information below for actual dimensions. ★ ---------------------------------------- "It was an ancient wooden door, opened and closed countless times, its lock silently guarding the stories within. I combined its form with the motif of curling vines, hoping that those who wear it will also possess their own guardianship and beliefs." Inspired by the design of a lock on an ancient wooden door— It's a piece of metal craftsmanship bearing the marks of time, featuring delicate curling vine patterns and a gentle sense of wear. The designer has transformed this historical essence into wearable art, merging the protective symbolism of the door lock with the elegance of curling vines. Meticulously crafted in 925 sterling silver and paired with high-quality natural leather, it becomes a personal amulet and a symbol of style for everyday wear. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ● 【Materials】 Hardware: Standard 925 Sterling Silver, using jewelry-grade silver, not recycled silver! Leather: Genuine Italian top-grain leather bracelet / ● 【Size & Specifications】 ★ The default design on the front of the piece is **unengraved**, but you can choose to have custom text or symbols engraved. ➤ The surface treatment this time differs from our usual polished finish.

However, because the base is silver, the gold inlay will gradually darken over time and requires polishing for maintenance! ▶ Important Notice! The colors around the gold in the photos are a temporary effect! They appear prominent due to macro close-up photography and are merely a result of the silver's incomplete oxidation process when exposed to sulfur. These colors will disappear upon contact with air. ^^ Before pure silver rings turn black through 【oxidation】, the K gold on the surface is barely noticeable~ After oxidation, the color contrast becomes very apparent. ^^ / ➤ Italian Top-Grain Leather Bracelet: 2 Colors ( Black ; Brown ) 2 Styles ( Single Loop ; Double Loop ) 4 Sizes ( Single Loop: 17cm, 19cm; Double Loop: 36cm, 40cm ) Size Reference: Model is 168cm tall with a wrist circumference of 17cm. > Suitable for a 17cm single loop or a 36cm double loop > This will be a looser fit!

Please remove the bracelet when showering, but it's fine for washing hands or face. After contact with water, allow it to air dry naturally. Avoid using hairdryers or other heating tools to prevent deformation or damage to the leather. The leather used is vegetable-tanned cowhide. Over time and with daily use, vegetable-tanned leather absorbs the natural oils from your hands, developing a patina and a lustrous sheen, gradually deepening in color. ✦ Proper care and wear will enhance the aged texture over time, creating unique marks and developing a personal style. ✦ Please Note: Vegetable-tanned leather often retains natural imperfections such as scars, spots, wrinkles, creases, and insect bites. The grain may vary in texture across different areas, reflecting the unique growth process of each cow and making every leather piece naturally distinctive!! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ➤ Custom orders for K gold series (14K, 18K white gold, yellow gold, rose gold), Platinum Pt950, and other precious metal materials are welcome.

(Using silver cleaning solutions is not recommended.) ▲ When not wearing your jewelry, store it in the zipper bag provided by Secret Summer to prevent pure silver from oxidizing and turning black upon contact with air. ▲ Avoid wearing jewelry while visiting hot springs or swimming, as this can cause silver to oxidize and darken. Post-Plating Care: ▲ For general cleaning, use an old toothbrush with a mild detergent or a commercial jewelry cleaner to gently brush the base of the setting and the crevices around any gemstones. This helps remove accumulated sweat and grime from frequent wear, which can reduce the overall clarity and brilliance of the stones. ▲ In addition to cleaning, the plated surface of K gold can develop fine scratches from prolonged friction, diminishing its shine. Daily polishing with a K gold cloth can help restore its finish. However, it is best to have the piece professionally polished and re-plated every 2-3 years to restore its original beauty and brilliance. / Designer and Brand Introduction / Each inspiration, each creation, each story is like a mystery, waiting to be solved in the next moment of life.
