WHITE DAYS Sterling Silver Engraved Drop Earrings

▎When objects are lost, subjects are found. The name of the 〈WHITE DAYS〉 series is inspired by the film notes of Andrei Tarkovsky's "Mirror." This collection explores the subtle relationship between absence and presence through gemstone facets and their negative forms. The engraved facets resemble a void left by something lost, yet as light and shadow shift, they reveal an optical illusion of gemstones, flickering like fragments of memory that subtly resonate. For a mosaic-like shimmering effect, this earring features a high-polish finish. Sterling silver may develop a slight patina over time, lending a unique personal touch to the piece. This oxidation can be easily removed with a silver polishing cloth, restoring the silver to its original luster.

This is a natural process that can sometimes add a unique texture, evoking a sense of imperfect, transient aging, while others prefer the original shine of silver. Plating is not a permanent treatment and will wear off over time depending on usage. Cleaning silver jewelry at home is not difficult. The simplest and most effective method is to use a silver polishing cloth, which contains chemicals that quickly remove oxidation, while the non-woven fabric removes other dirt. For intricate details or crevices, a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) can be used with warm water and a non-abrasive, neutral detergent (avoid toothpaste). Rinse thoroughly with water and dry completely. Caution: Household chemicals, sweat, rubber, chlorinated water, and any substances containing sulfur (e.g., mayonnaise, eggs, mustard, onions, latex, wool) can accelerate silver's oxidation or cause minor corrosion on other metals. Lotions, hairspray, cosmetics, and perfumes can also speed up the oxidation process or damage the surface. Additionally, soil and many household cleaners contain abrasive substances that can scratch metal surfaces. Therefore, we recommend wearing gloves or removing jewelry when doing household chores.
