If you mistakenly choose incorrectly, you will be responsible for the round-trip shipping costs for any exchanges in length.** **Important Information for Wearing Silver Jewelry for the First Time** ◮ When wearing silver jewelry, please avoid activities such as soaking in hot springs or swimming. The salt in seawater and the acidity of rainwater in nature can slightly corrode metal and cause oxidation. Sulfur in hot springs will also blacken jewelry and cause vulcanization. If exposed to these substances, it is recommended to rinse the silver jewelry with clean water and then dry it. ◮ Human sweat, in its role of sterilizing the skin, has a slightly acidic pH of 4. Studies have shown that prolonged contact can corrode metals and accelerate alloy oxidation. 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, so individuals with similar past experiences should exercise extra caution.** To keep silver jewelry looking new, it is recommended to wash and dry it after wearing it for the day, ensuring it remains dry. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also cause silver jewelry to corrode. Common examples include: skincare products, sunscreen, cosmetics, perfumes, essential oils, detergents, chlorine in swimming pools, etc. If you habitually wear perfume, it is recommended to apply perfume first and then put on your jewelry, avoiding direct contact between the jewelry and the perfume. ◮ Develop good habits for use and storage. Taiwan's climate is humid, with relatively high air moisture. When not wearing the jewelry, be sure to wipe off any sweat or oils with a dry cloth. Store it in a ziplock bag to block out air and maintain dryness. Also, store each piece of jewelry separately to prevent friction and surface scratches. ◮ Regarding the vulcanization of silver jewelry 925 sterling silver easily oxidizes and turns 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. 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 jewelry may appear slightly dark. The vulcanization technique directly oxidizes 925 sterling silver jewelry to create an antique, aged black appearance, enhancing contrast and depth. This is more uniform and aesthetically pleasing than natural air oxidation, and the crevices do not require extra cleaning. Frequent wear, allowing the surface of the jewelry to rub against clothing, helps maintain its polished appearance. ◮ About Us To present the highest quality, each of our pieces is meticulously crafted through repeated inspections, refinements, and polishing. We do not allow any pinholes or imperfections. To ensure durability, we repeatedly forge and hammer the silver, giving our jewelry a unique luster and texture. Protective plating has a high probability of peeling off with prolonged wear and can negatively impact both the environment and the human body, while also obscuring the natural luster of silver. Therefore, our pieces are never plated. We dedicate significantly more time to details. If you happen to purchase one of our pieces, you will notice that its oxidation rate is considerably slower than most other silver products, and its luster is also distinct. We hope you find a piece of jewelry here that is uniquely yours.
