When illuminated, it reflects a gentle luminescence, akin to the moon shining in the night sky. Since ancient times, this gem has been associated with the moon. Moonstone is a variety of feldspar, typically formed by the intergrowth of albite and orthoclase. Light entering the stone refracts, creating an "adularescence" effect. The feldspar family includes many types, with the most common moonstones being blue moonstone, white moonstone, orange moonstone, spectrolite (gray moonstone), and black moonstone, all also known as moonstones. Their crystal colors range from milky white, transparent colorless, orange, gray, to black, and the halo effect of moonstone varies as well. **Please check if the "chain length" and "style" meet your needs. If you mistakenly choose incorrectly, you will be responsible for the round-trip shipping fees for length adjustments.** **Important Notes for First-Time Silver Jewelry Wearers** ◮ Avoid wearing silver jewelry while bathing in hot springs or swimming. The salt in seawater and the acidity of rainwater can mildly corrode metals and cause oxidation. Sulfur in hot springs will also blacken jewelry and cause sulfidation. If exposed to such substances, it is recommended to rinse the silver jewelry with clean water and then dry it. ◮ Human sweat has a relatively high pH of 4 to help sterilize the skin. Studies have shown that prolonged contact can corrode metals and accelerate alloy oxidation. 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 had similar experiences, please be extra careful.** To keep silver jewelry looking new, it is recommended to clean and dry it after wearing if it comes into contact with sweat, and keep it dry. ◮ 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, cleaning agents, and chlorine in swimming pools. If you habitually wear perfume, it is recommended to apply perfume first and then wear your jewelry to avoid direct contact. ◮ Develop good habits for use and storage. Taiwan's climate is humid, and the air's moisture content is relatively high. When not wearing your jewelry, be sure to wipe off any sweat or oils with a dry cloth, and store it in a ziplock bag to block air and maintain dryness. Store each piece separately to prevent friction and scratches. ◮ Regarding the sulfidation of silver jewelry: 925 sterling silver can oxidize and turn yellow or black when exposed to air; this is a natural reaction of silver jewelry, similar to how pure silver reacts with hot spring water. Simply gently wiping with a silver polishing cloth can restore its original luster. However, in hard-to-reach areas like the crevices of a silver chain, the jewelry may appear slightly darker. The sulfidation technique involves intentionally oxidizing 925 sterling silver jewelry to create a rustic, antique, darkened appearance, enhancing contrast and adding depth. This is more uniform and attractive than natural air oxidation, and the crevices do not require extra cleaning. Frequent wear, through friction with clothing, helps maintain the jewelry's appearance. ◮ About Us: To present the highest quality, each of our pieces is meticulously crafted through repeated inspections, adjustments, and polishing, with absolutely no allowance for pores or flaws. To ensure structural integrity, we employ repeated hammering and forging, giving our silver jewelry a distinct luster and texture. Plating protective films have a high probability of peeling off with prolonged wear, which can affect both the environment and the body, and obscure the natural luster of silver. Therefore, our pieces are never plated. We dedicate significantly more time to the details. If you happen to purchase one of our pieces, you will notice that its oxidation rate is considerably slower than most other silver products, and its luster is also different. We hope you find a unique piece that belongs to you here.
