The extreme heat and pressure from this event melted the meteorite and surrounding rocks into a glass-like material resembling ocean spray. It was discovered in 1787 near the Vltava River in Czechia, hence its English name, Moldavite, and its Chinese name "Czech Meteorite." **Please verify that the chain length and style meet your needs.

The salt in seawater and the acidity of rainwater can subtly corrode and oxidize metals. Additionally, the sulfur in hot springs can cause jewelry to tarnish and undergo sulfidation. If exposed to such substances, rinsing the silver jewelry with clean water and drying it thoroughly is recommended. ◮ Human perspiration, with its slightly acidic pH of 4 for antiseptic purposes, can cause corrosion and accelerate alloy oxidation with prolonged contact. As our jewelry is not plated, it is more susceptible to corrosion and breakage when enclosed by sweat. However, **not everyone's perspiration will cause damage. If you have had similar experiences, please exercise extra caution.** To maintain the pristine appearance of your silver jewelry, it is recommended to wash and dry it after wear each day if exposed to sweat, ensuring it remains dry. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also cause silver jewelry to corrode. Products with chemical additives can indeed accelerate the oxidation of jewelry. Common examples include: skincare products, sunscreens, cosmetics, perfumes, essential oils, cleaning agents, and chlorine in swimming pools... etc. If you habitually wear perfume, it is recommended to apply perfume first, then wear your jewelry, avoiding direct contact between the jewelry and the perfume. ◮ Cultivate good habits for use and storage. 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, and store it in a zip-lock bag to prevent air exposure and maintain dryness. Store jewelry pieces separately to avoid friction and potential scratches. ◮ Regarding the sulfidation of silver jewelry 925 sterling silver is prone to oxidizing and turning yellow or black when exposed to air, which is a natural reaction of silver. It is similar to how pure silver reacts with hot spring water. Gently polishing 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 darkened. The sulfidation technique involves intentionally oxidizing 925 sterling silver jewelry to create a rustic, antique, dark patina. This enhances contrast and adds depth, appearing more uniform and attractive than natural air oxidation, and the crevices do not require extra cleaning. Frequent wear, where the jewelry rubs against clothing, helps maintain its shine. ◮ About Us To present the highest quality, each of our pieces undergoes rigorous inspection, refinement, and polishing. We do not permit any porosity or imperfections. To ensure structural integrity, repeated hammering is employed, giving our silver jewelry a unique luster and texture. Protective plating is highly likely to peel off with prolonged wear, posing risks to both the environment and the body, while also obscuring the natural luster of the silver. Therefore, our pieces are never plated. We dedicate significantly more time to intricate details. Should you purchase one of our creations, you will notice that its oxidation rate is considerably slower compared to most other silver products, and its luster is also distinct. We hope you find a unique piece that speaks to you here.
