The salt in seawater and the acidity in rainwater can subtly corrode metals and cause oxidation. Sulfur in hot springs can also blacken jewelry through vulcanization. If exposed to these elements, rinse the jewelry with clean water and dry it thoroughly. ◮ Human perspiration, with a slightly acidic pH of 4 for its antibacterial properties, can, with prolonged contact, corrode metals and accelerate oxidation. As our jewelry is not plated with other materials, it is more susceptible to corrosion and breakage when enclosed in sweat. However, **not everyone's perspiration will cause breakage. If you have had similar experiences, please be mindful.** To maintain your silver jewelry's pristine condition, we recommend cleaning and drying it after each wear, ensuring it is completely dry. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also cause silver jewelry to tarnish. Products with chemical ingredients can accelerate the oxidation of jewelry. Common examples include: skincare products, sunscreen, cosmetics, perfumes, essential oils, cleaning agents, and chlorine in swimming pools...etc. If you habitually wear perfume, it is recommended to apply perfume first, and then wear your jewelry, to avoid direct contact. ◮ Cultivate good habits for use and storage. Taiwan's humid climate means higher air moisture levels. When not wearing your jewelry, be sure to wipe off any sweat or oils with a dry cloth, and store it in a sealed 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 vulcanization 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, similar to its reaction with hot spring water. Simply gently polishing with a silver polishing cloth will restore its original luster. However, in hard-to-reach areas like the crevices of a silver chain, oxidation may appear more pronounced. Vulcanization is a technique where 925 sterling silver jewelry is intentionally oxidized to achieve an antique, aged, dark patina. This enhances contrast and adds depth, appearing more uniform and attractive than natural air oxidation. Crevices also require less maintenance. Frequent wear, where the silver surface rubs against clothing, can help the jewelry maintain a certain level of newness. ◮ About Us To present the highest quality, each of our pieces is meticulously crafted through repeated inspections, refinements, and polishing. We allow for absolutely no porosity or imperfections. To ensure structural integrity, we employ repeated forging techniques, giving our silver jewelry a unique luster and texture that sets it apart. Protective plating is highly likely to wear off with prolonged wear and can affect both the environment and the body, while also obscuring the natural luster of silver. For this reason, our pieces are never plated. We invest significantly more time in the details. If you have the opportunity to purchase one of our creations, you will notice that its oxidation rate is significantly slower compared to most other silver products, and its luster is also distinct. We hope you find your unique piece of adornment here.
