Negative Space Gemstone Pillow-Cut Sterling Silver Concave Earrings

▎When objects are lost, subjects are found. The name of the 〈WHITE DAYS〉 series is inspired by the film notes of Andrei Tarkovsky's "Mirror." This collection uses gemstone facets and their negative spaces to depict the subtle relationship between absence and presence. The concave facets resemble a void left by something lost, yet as light and shadow shift, they project the optical illusion of a gemstone, twinkling like fragments of memory that softly echo. For a shimmering, mosaic-like effect, this earring features a bright polished finish. Sterling silver may develop a slight yellow hue over time, imbuing the piece with a unique personal touch. This oxidation can be easily removed with a silver polishing cloth, restoring the silver to its original brilliance. Studio CURD is a jewelry brand and studio focused on material aesthetics.

This is a natural process that can sometimes add unique texture and a sense of transient beauty to a piece, reflecting imperfection and the passage of time. Some prefer this aged patina, while others favor the original luster of silver. Plating is also not a permanent treatment; the plating layer will wear off over time depending on usage. However, cleaning silver jewelry at home is not difficult. The simplest and most effective method is to use a silver polishing cloth. The chemicals within the cloth quickly remove tarnish, while the non-woven fabric wipes away other grime. For intricate details or grooves, a soft brush (like a used toothbrush) can be used with warm water and a non-abrasive, neutral detergent (do not use toothpaste). Rinse thoroughly with water and dry completely. Caution: Household chemicals, sweat, rubber, chlorinated water, and any substances containing sulfur (e.g., mayonnaise, eggs, mustard, onions, latex, wool) can accelerate silver's oxidation or cause minor corrosion on other metals. Lotions, hairspray, cosmetics, and perfumes may also hasten metal oxidation or damage the surface. Additionally, soil and many household cleaners contain abrasive particles that can scratch metal surfaces. Therefore, we recommend wearing gloves or removing jewelry when performing household chores.
