Each piece is handcrafted based on the natural dimensions and textures of plants, resulting in slight variations in size, with an approximate difference of 0.1cm. **■ Color: Silver.** **■ Material: International Standard 925 Sterling Silver.** ■ Committed to sustainability, we use recycled sterling silver as raw material. 925 sterling silver contains 92.5% silver and 7.5% alloy, made to the internationally recognized 925 standard. This composition offers stable hypoallergenic properties, resistance to oxidation, and enhanced hardness and durability, making it ideal for intricate designs – the reason behind our choice for this series. Crafted with meticulous polishing by skilled artisans, each piece is fully handmade, intentionally retaining a forged texture that fully showcases the natural patterns and metallic luster. Over time, through daily wear, environmental factors, and individual habits, the jewelry develops a unique patina, reflecting personal style and the depth of time. - **■ Color: Gold.** **■ Material: Brass, plated with 18K gold.** ■ Using electrolysis, a layer of K gold is plated onto the surface of sterling silver or brass through an electroplating solution. The gold plating layer is approximately 5-10 microns thick, using jewelry-grade, nickel-free plating for a lustrous K gold finish. It possesses characteristics of being resistant to oxidation and fading, with high hardness. The gold plating layer, containing gold, can gradually wear away due to environmental humidity, the wearer's perspiration's pH, and the frequency of contact with skin, eventually revealing the base metal. This is a normal phenomenon. When the plating layer wears off, we recommend scheduling a replating service to maintain the jewelry's beautiful finish. ----------------------------------------- **✦✦✦ Packaging ✦✦✦** ■ This item comes with gift packaging, making it ideal for gifting. ■ Gift Packaging Includes: Gift box, care card, storage pouch, sealed bag. ■ The gift box is made from recycled paper materials. ■ We offer a complimentary card writing service.

Be cautious of friction or collision with other jewelry that may cause deformation. ■ To remove minor dirt and dust from handling, a clean, soft cloth is sufficient for a gentle wipe. ■ Silver jewelry can be polished with a silver polishing cloth. ■ Do not use a silver polishing cloth on charcoal gray or gold-colored jewelry. ----------------------------------------- **✦✦✦ Warranty Information ✦✦✦** ■ Enjoy lifetime complimentary maintenance and basic repair services to extend the product's lifecycle and achieve sustainable beauty. ■ Maintenance services include oxidation restoration; basic repairs cover fixable issues such as deformation and scratches. ■ Lifetime paid professional repair and upgrade services are available, including: wear of sulfide layers, wear of gold plating, breakages, gold plating, vulcanization, stone setting, casting, laser engraving, and other personalized services. ■ For any inquiries, please contact us via Pinkoi message. ----------------------------------------- **✦✦✦ Exchanges and Returns ✦✦✦** ■ Upon receiving this product, if you notice any defects, please take photos as evidence and contact customer service within seven days of receipt to arrange for an exchange or return.
