If a certificate is required, please send us a private message, and we can assist you with obtaining one by setting up a separate listing. Loose stone weight: 1.429g Pendant (including setting and loose stone) weight: 7g Dimensions including bail: 46 x 16.5 x 11 mm Moldavite, formed approximately 15 million years ago, originated from the impact of a massive meteorite on Earth's surface. The intense heat and pressure from this celestial event fused the meteorite with surrounding rocks, creating a glass-like substance resembling splashing waves. Moldavite was discovered in the Moldau River valley in the Czech Republic, hence its English name, and is known as "Czech meteorite" in Chinese. **Please verify that the chain length and style meet your needs. If you make an incorrect assessment, you will be responsible for the return shipping costs for any length exchanges.** **Important Notes for Wearing Silver Jewelry for the First Time** ◮ Avoid wearing silver jewelry while bathing in hot springs or swimming. The salt from seawater and the acidity of rainwater can slightly corrode metals and cause oxidation. Sulfur in hot springs can cause jewelry to turn black and undergo sulfidation. If exposed to such substances, it is recommended to rinse the silver jewelry with clean water and then dry it thoroughly. ◮ Human sweat, with its slightly acidic pH of 4 for antibacterial purposes, can corrode metals and accelerate alloy oxidation over prolonged contact. As our jewelry is not plated with other materials on its 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 exercise extra caution.** To maintain the new appearance of your silver jewelry, it is recommended to wash and dry it after wearing it, and keep it dry. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also cause erosion of silver 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, avoiding direct contact between the jewelry and the perfume. ◮ Develop good habits for use and storage. Taiwan's climate is humid, with relatively high air 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 each piece of jewelry separately to avoid friction and potential scratches or damage. ◮ About Silver Sulfidation 925 sterling silver can easily oxidize and turn yellow or black when exposed to air; this is a natural reaction of silver, similar to its reaction with hot spring water. Gently polishing with a silver polishing cloth can restore its original luster. However, in hard-to-reach areas like the crevices of a silver chain, the silver may appear slightly darkened. Sulfidation is a technique that intentionally oxidizes 925 sterling silver jewelry to create an antique, aged, dark appearance, enhancing contrast and depth. This method is more uniform and aesthetically pleasing than natural air oxidation, and the crevices do not require extra cleaning. Frequent wear, allowing the surface of the jewelry to rub against clothing, can help maintain its new look. ◮ About Us To achieve the highest quality, each of our pieces is meticulously crafted through repeated inspections, adjustments, and polishing, ensuring the absence of any porosity or flaws. To guarantee the resilience of the material, repeated forging is employed, giving our silver jewelry a distinct luster and texture. Plated protective films have a high probability of peeling off with long-term wear, which can affect both the environment and the human body, and they also obscure the natural luster of silver. Therefore, our pieces are never plated. We invest significantly more time in the details. If you happen to 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 your unique piece of jewelry here.
