The salt in seawater and the acidity in rainwater can slightly corrode metal and cause oxidation. Sulfur in hot springs will cause jewelry to blacken and undergo sulfidation. If exposed to these substances, rinse the jewelry with clean water and dry it thoroughly. ◮ Human sweat, which is slightly acidic with a pH of 4 for its antibacterial properties, can corrode metals and accelerate alloy oxidation over prolonged contact. As our jewelry is not plated with other materials, 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 vigilant.** To maintain the pristine appearance of your silver jewelry, it is recommended to wash and dry it after wearing it for the day, ensuring it is kept dry. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also corrode silver jewelry. 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. For those who habitually wear perfume, it is recommended to apply perfume first and then wear jewelry to avoid direct contact. ◮ Develop good habits for use and storage. Taiwan's climate is humid, and the air moisture content is relatively high. When not wearing your jewelry, be sure to wipe off any sweat or oils with a dry cloth. Store it in a zipper bag to block air and keep it dry. Also, store jewelry pieces separately to prevent them from rubbing against each other and causing surface scratches. ◮ Regarding the sulfidation of silver jewelry 925 sterling silver is prone to oxidizing and turning yellow or black when exposed to air, which is a natural reaction of silver jewelry. Similar to how pure silver reacts with hot spring water, a gentle wipe with a silver polishing cloth can restore its original luster. However, in hard-to-reach areas like the crevices of a silver chain, the jewelry may appear slightly dark. The technique of sulfidation involves intentionally oxidizing 925 sterling silver jewelry to create an antique, aged dark hue, enhancing contrast and detail. This 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, refinements, and polishing, with absolutely no tolerance for porosity or flaws. To ensure structural integrity, we employ repeated forging techniques, giving our silver jewelry a unique luster and texture. Plated protective films have a high probability of peeling off with prolonged wear, affecting both the environment and the body, and obscuring the natural luster of silver. Therefore, our pieces are never plated. We dedicate significantly more time to details. If you happen to purchase one of our pieces, you will notice that its oxidation rate is considerably slower than that of most other silver products, and its luster is also distinct. We hope you find your unique piece of jewelry here.
