If a certificate is required, please message us privately. We can assist in obtaining one and will create a separate listing for you. Loose stone weight: 3.36g Pendant total weight: 13.714g Pendant dimensions (including bail): 39 x 28 x 16 mm Moldavite, formed roughly 15 million years ago, originated from a colossal meteorite impact on Earth. The extreme heat and pressure generated by the impact melted the meteorite and surrounding rocks into a glass-like material resembling ocean spray. It was discovered in 1787 along the Moldau River in the Czech Republic, hence its English name "Moldavite" and its Chinese name "Czech Meteorite." **Please ensure the chain length and style meet your needs.

The salt in seawater and the acidity of rainwater can mildly corrode metals and cause oxidation. Sulfur in hot springs can cause jewelry to darken and undergo sulfidation. If exposed to these substances, rinse the silver jewelry with clean water and dry it thoroughly. ◮ Human sweat, which is slightly acidic (pH 4) for its antiseptic properties, can cause corrosion and accelerate alloy oxidation upon prolonged contact. Our jewelry is not coated with other materials on the surface, making it 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 mindful.** To maintain the pristine look of your silver jewelry, we recommend cleaning and drying it after wearing it for the day, especially if it has come into contact with sweat. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also cause silver jewelry to erode. Products with chemical additives can 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, then wear your jewelry, avoiding direct contact between the jewelry and the perfume. ◮ Develop good habits for wearing and storing your jewelry. 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, and store it in a zip-lock bag to block air and maintain dryness. Store jewelry pieces separately to prevent them from rubbing against each other and causing scratches or damage to the surface. ◮ 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 polish 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 dark. The technique of vulcanization involves intentionally oxidizing 925 sterling silver jewelry to create an antique, aged, darkened effect. This enhances contrast and depth, appearing more uniform and aesthetically pleasing than natural air oxidation, and the crevices require no extra cleaning. Frequent wear, with the surface of the silver jewelry rubbing against clothing, can help maintain its new appearance. ◮ About Us To present the highest quality, each of our pieces is meticulously crafted through repeated inspections, refinements, and polishing. We do not permit any porosity or flaws. To ensure material strength, we employ repeated hammering techniques, giving our silver jewelry a unique luster and texture. Protective electroplated coatings have a high probability of peeling off with prolonged wear, which can affect both the environment and the human body, and it obscures the natural luster of silver. Therefore, our creations are never electroplated. We invest considerably more time in the details. If you happen to purchase one of our pieces, 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.
