When illuminated, it emits a gentle luminescence, mirroring the moon's radiance in the night sky. Historically, this gemstone has been associated with the moon. Moonstone is a variety of feldspar, typically formed by the intergrowth of albite and orthoclase. Light entering the stone refracts to create an "adularescence" effect. Among the many types of feldspar, common moonstones include blue moonstone, white moonstone, orange moonstone, labradorite (grey moonstone), and black moonstone, all of which fall under the moonstone category. Their crystal colors range from milky white, transparent, orange, grey, to black, each exhibiting a unique halo effect. **Please confirm if the chain length and style meet your needs.

The salt in seawater and the acidity of rainwater can slightly corrode metals and cause oxidation. Sulfur in hot springs can also tarnish jewelry and cause vulcanization. If exposed to these substances, rinse the jewelry with clean water and dry it thoroughly. ◮ Human sweat has a relatively high pH of 4 for its antibacterial properties. Studies have shown that prolonged contact can corrode metals and accelerate alloy oxidation. As our jewelry is not plated with other materials on the 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 newness of your silver jewelry, it is recommended to wash and dry it after wearing it for the day if it comes into contact with sweat. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also cause silver jewelry to erode. Any product 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 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 the jewelry in a ziplock bag to prevent air exposure and maintain dryness. Store each piece separately to avoid friction and surface scratches. ◮ Regarding the vulcanization of silver jewelry 925 sterling silver can easily oxidize and turn yellow or black when exposed to air; this is a natural reaction of silver, similar to how pure silver reacts with hot spring water. Simply gently polish it with a silver polishing cloth to restore its original luster. However, in hard-to-reach areas like the crevices of a silver chain, the silver may appear slightly darker. The vulcanization technique involves intentionally oxidizing 925 sterling silver jewelry to create a rustic, antiqued, dark appearance, enhancing contrast and adding 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 jewelry's surface to rub against clothing, can help maintain its new appearance. ◮ About Us To present the highest quality, each of our pieces is crafted through repeated inspections, adjustments, and polishing. We do not permit any pinholes or imperfections. To ensure the resilience of the material, we repeatedly forge and hammer the silver, giving our jewelry a unique luster and texture that sets it apart. Plated protective films 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 pieces are never plated. We invest significantly more time in the details. If you happen to purchase one of our pieces, 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 belongs to you here.
