Amethyst is well-suited for students, those preparing for exams, and individuals in mentally demanding professions (such as designers), helping them excel in their studies and careers. **Important Notes for New Silver Jewelry Wearers** ◮ Avoid wearing silver jewelry while bathing in hot springs or swimming. The salt in seawater and the acidity of rainwater can mildly corrode metals and cause oxidation. Sulfur in hot springs can also cause jewelry to turn black and undergo sulfidation. If exposed to these substances, rinse the silver jewelry with clean water and dry it thoroughly. ◮ Human sweat has a slightly acidic pH of 4, which helps sterilize the skin. 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 be extra mindful.** To keep your silver jewelry looking new, it is recommended to wash and dry it after wearing it for the day, ensuring it remains dry. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also cause silver jewelry to erode. Products with chemical additives can indeed 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 advisable 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 zip-lock bag to block air and maintain dryness. Store each piece separately to prevent friction and potential scratches or damage to the surface. ◮ Regarding the sulfidation 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 jewelry, similar to how pure silver reacts with hot spring water. Simply 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 darker. The sulfidation technique involves intentionally oxidizing 925 sterling silver jewelry to create an antique, aged, dark appearance, enhancing contrast and adding depth. This is more uniform and aesthetically pleasing than natural air oxidation, and the crevices do not require extra cleaning. Frequent wear, where the jewelry rubs 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, adjustments, and polishing, with absolutely no tolerance for porosity or imperfections. To ensure the resilience of the material, we employ repeated forging and hammering, giving our silver jewelry a unique luster and texture. Plated protective films have a high probability of peeling off with prolonged wear, which can affect both the environment and the human body, while also obscuring the natural luster of the silver. Therefore, our pieces are never plated. We invest significantly more time in the details. If you have the opportunity 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 your unique piece of jewelry here.
