Moldavite / Heart's Wing

If certification is required, please send us a private message. We can assist in obtaining one and will create a separate listing for you. Dimensions including bail: approx. 34 x 21 x 10 mm Loose stone weight: 0.895g Pendant total weight: 7.907g Formed approximately 15 million years ago, Moldavite was created when a massive meteorite impacted the Earth's surface. The intense heat and pressure from this cosmic collision fused the meteorite with surrounding rocks, resulting in a glass-like substance resembling swirling waves. Moldavite was discovered in the Moldau River valley in Czechia, from which it derives its English name, and is known in Chinese as "Czech Meteorite." **Please ensure the "chain length" and "style" meet your needs.

The salt in seawater and the acidity of rainwater can mildly corrode and oxidize metals. Sulfur in hot springs can cause the jewelry to blacken and undergo sulfidation. If exposed to these elements, rinse the jewelry with clean water and dry it thoroughly. ◮ Human sweat has a slightly acidic pH of 4, which aids in skin sterilization. Prolonged contact can corrode metals and accelerate alloy oxidation. As our jewelry is not plated with other materials, it is more susceptible to corrosion and breakage when enclosed by sweat. However, **not everyone's sweat causes breakage. If you have had similar experiences, please exercise extra caution.** To maintain the pristine appearance of your silver jewelry, we recommend cleaning and drying it after each wear, especially if exposed to sweat, and keeping it dry. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also erode silver jewelry. Any product with chemical additives can accelerate the oxidation of jewelry. Common examples include: skincare products, sunscreen, cosmetics, perfumes, essential oils, cleaning agents, chlorine in swimming pools, etc. If you habitually wear perfume, we suggest applying it before putting on jewelry to avoid direct contact. ◮ Develop good habits for wearing and storing your jewelry. Taiwan's climate is humid, with relatively high atmospheric moisture. When not wearing your jewelry, be sure to wipe off any sweat or oils with a dry cloth. Store it in a resealable bag to prevent air exposure and maintain dryness. Store pieces separately to avoid friction and potential scratches or damage. ◮ Regarding the sulfidation of silver jewelry 925 sterling silver can naturally oxidize and turn yellow or black when exposed to air, a common reaction for silver. Similar to contact with hot spring water, a gentle wipe with a silver polishing cloth will restore its original luster. However, in hard-to-reach areas like the crevices of a silver chain, oxidation can make the jewelry appear slightly darkened. The technique of sulfidation directly oxidizes 925 sterling silver jewelry to create a rustic, antiqued, dark appearance, enhancing contrast and depth. This method is more uniform and aesthetically pleasing than natural air oxidation, and the crevices require no extra cleaning. Regular wear, with the friction from clothing against the silver's surface, helps maintain its polished look. ◮ About Us To ensure the highest quality, each of our pieces is meticulously crafted through repeated checks, adjustments, and polishing, with absolutely no tolerance for porosity or flaws. To guarantee structural integrity, we employ repeated hammering, which gives our silver jewelry a distinct luster and texture. Protective plating has a high probability of peeling with prolonged wear, which can affect both the environment and the wearer, and obscures the natural luster of silver. Therefore, our pieces are never plated. We invest significantly more time in perfecting the details. Should you choose to acquire one of our pieces, you will notice that it oxidizes considerably slower and possesses a different luster compared to most other silver products. We hope you find a piece that is uniquely yours here.
