When light strikes it, it reflects a subtle glow, reminiscent of the moon shining in the night sky. Since ancient times, this gemstone has been used to represent the moon. Moonstone belongs to a branch of the feldspar family, typically formed by the intergrowth of albite and orthoclase. When light enters, it refracts, creating an "adularescence" effect. There are many types of feldspar, with the most common moonstones including blue moonstone, white moonstone, orange moonstone, spectrolite (gray moonstone), and black moonstone, all referred to as moonstones. Their crystal colors range from milky white, transparent colorless, orange, gray, to black, and the halo effect of moonstones also varies. **Please confirm if the "chain length" and "style" meet your needs.

The salt in seawater and the acids in rainwater can mildly corrode metal and cause oxidation. Sulfur in hot springs will also tarnish jewelry and cause sulfidation. If exposed to these substances, rinse the silver jewelry with clean water and dry it thoroughly. ◮ Human sweat has a slightly higher pH of 4 for antibacterial purposes. Studies have shown that prolonged contact can corrode metal and accelerate alloy oxidation. Our jewelry is not plated with other materials on the surface, making it more susceptible to corrosion and breakage when enclosed by sweat. However, **not everyone's sweat will cause breakage; if you have had similar experiences, please be extra mindful.** To keep silver jewelry looking its best, it is recommended to wash off sweat from daily wear, wipe it dry, and keep it dry. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also cause silver jewelry erosion. Products with chemical additives can accelerate the oxidation rate of jewelry. Common examples include: skincare products, sunscreen, cosmetics, perfumes, essential oils, cleaning agents, chlorine in swimming pools, etc. If you are accustomed to wearing perfume, it is recommended to apply perfume first and then wear jewelry, avoiding direct contact between the jewelry and 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 oil with a dry cloth and store it in a ziplock bag to keep it dry and away from air. Store pieces separately to prevent them from rubbing against each other and causing surface scratches or damage. ◮ Regarding silver sulfidation 925 sterling silver is prone to oxidation and yellowing or blackening when exposed to air; this is a natural reaction of silver jewelry, similar to how pure silver reacts with hot spring water. A gentle wipe with a silver polishing cloth can restore its original luster. However, in hard-to-reach areas like the crevices of a silver chain, it may appear slightly darker. The sulfidation technique involves directly oxidizing 925 sterling silver jewelry to create an antique, aged, dark appearance, enhancing contrast and layers. This is more uniform and aesthetically pleasing than natural air oxidation, and the crevices require no extra cleaning. Regular wear and friction with clothing can help maintain the jewelry's appearance. ◮ About Us To present the highest quality, each of our pieces is crafted through repeated inspection, refinement, and polishing, with absolutely no allowance for pores or imperfections. To ensure structural integrity, we repeatedly forge and hammer the metal, giving our silver jewelry a unique luster and texture. Plated protective films have a high probability of peeling off with long-term wear, which can affect both the environment and the human body, while also masking the natural luster of silver. Therefore, our pieces are never plated. We invest significantly more time in the details. If you have the opportunity to purchase one of our pieces, you will find that its oxidation rate is significantly slower compared to most other silver products, and its luster is also distinct. We hope you can find your unique piece of jewelry here.
