If you mistakenly select the wrong options, you will be responsible for the round-trip shipping costs for any exchanges.** **Important Information for First-Time Silver 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 tarnish jewelry and cause vulcanization. If exposed to these substances, it is recommended to rinse the silver jewelry with clean water and dry it thoroughly. ◮ Human sweat is slightly acidic (pH 4) for skin sterilization. Studies have shown that prolonged contact can corrode metals and accelerate alloy oxidation. As our jewelry is not electroplated, it is more susceptible to corrosion and breakage when enveloped in sweat. However, **not everyone's sweat will cause breakage; if you have had similar experiences, please be extra mindful.** To maintain the newness of your silver jewelry, we recommend cleaning and drying it after wearing it for the day if exposed to sweat, and storing it in a dry place. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also erode silver jewelry. Any product with added chemicals can accelerate the oxidation of jewelry. Common examples include: skincare products, sunscreen, cosmetics, perfumes, essential oils, detergents, chlorine in swimming pools, etc. If you habitually wear perfume, it is advisable to apply perfume before putting on jewelry, and avoid direct contact between the jewelry and perfume. ◮ Develop good habits for wearing 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 it in a zip-lock 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 easily oxidizes and turns yellow or black when exposed to air; this is a natural reaction of silver, similar to how pure silver reacts 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, the silver may appear slightly darker. Vulcanization is a technique that deliberately oxidizes 925 sterling silver to create a rustic, antique, darkened appearance, enhancing contrast and depth. This is more uniform and aesthetically pleasing than natural air oxidation, and the crevices do not require extra cleaning. Regular wear, with the silver jewelry rubbing against clothing, helps maintain a certain level of newness. ◮ About Us To present the highest quality, each of our creations undergoes repeated inspections, refinements, and polishing. We do not permit any pinholes or flaws. To ensure the toughness of the material, it is repeatedly forged, giving our silver jewelry a unique luster and texture that sets it apart. Electroplated protective films are highly likely to peel off with long-term wear, which can affect both the environment and the human body, and obscure the natural luster of the silver. Therefore, our creations are never electroplated. We invest significantly more time in the details. If you have the opportunity to purchase our work, you will notice that its oxidation rate is significantly slower compared to most other silver products, and its luster is also distinct. We hope you find a unique piece of jewelry that belongs to you here.
