As sterling silver earrings are personal items, for hygiene reasons, all sales are final and cannot be returned or exchanged. Please ensure you have made your decision before purchasing. We will photograph all items before shipment. If you receive a defective product, please contact us via private message. Approximate Size: 5mm ball **Important Notes for First-Time Wearers of Silver Jewelry** ◮ Please avoid activities such as bathing in hot springs or swimming while wearing silver jewelry. The salt in seawater and the acidity in rainwater can subtly corrode metals and cause oxidation. The sulfur in hot springs can cause jewelry to darken and undergo vulcanization. If exposed to these substances, we recommend rinsing the silver jewelry with clean water and then drying it. ◮ Human sweat, with its slightly acidic pH of 4 for skin sterilization, has been shown to corrode metals and accelerate alloy oxidation over prolonged contact. 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. If you have experienced this before, please be extra mindful.** To maintain the pristine appearance of your silver jewelry, we recommend cleaning and drying it thoroughly after each wear, especially if exposed to sweat. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also cause silver jewelry to corrode. Any product with chemical additives can indeed accelerate the oxidation of jewelry. Common examples include: skincare products, sunscreen, cosmetics, perfumes, essential oils, detergents, and chlorine in swimming pools. If you habitually wear perfume, we suggest applying it before putting on jewelry to avoid direct contact. ◮ 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 the jewelry in a resealable bag to block air and maintain dryness. Store each piece separately to prevent friction and surface scratches. ◮ Regarding the vulcanization of silver jewelry 925 sterling silver is prone to yellowing or blackening when exposed to air; this is a natural reaction of silver, similar to how pure silver reacts with hot spring water. Simply gently polishing with a silver polishing cloth can restore its original luster. However, in hard-to-reach areas, such as the crevices of a silver chain, the silver may appear slightly dark. The vulcanization technique involves intentionally oxidizing 925 sterling silver jewelry to create an antique, aged, dark appearance, enhancing contrast and adding depth. This method is more even and aesthetically pleasing than natural air oxidation, and the crevices require no extra cleaning. Frequent wear, with the natural friction against clothing, can help maintain the jewelry's renewed appearance. ◮ About Us To present the highest quality, each of our pieces is meticulously crafted through repeated inspections, adjustments, and polishing. We allow no pinholes or imperfections. To ensure structural integrity, we repeatedly hammer and forge the silver, giving our jewelry a distinct luster and texture. Plated protective films have a high probability of peeling off with prolonged wear, affecting both the environment and the human body, while also obscuring the natural luster of the silver. Therefore, our pieces are never plated. We dedicate significantly more time to the details. If you happen to purchase one of our creations, you will notice that its oxidation rate is considerably slower than most other silver products, and its luster is also unique. We hope you find a piece of jewelry that is uniquely yours here.
