Processes such as sawing, hammering, carving, soldering, filing, setting, and polishing are employed, preserving the unique texture achieved through soldering and forging. ● Jewelry Care Tips 1. All jewelry, regardless of material, is susceptible to moisture. Exposure to rain, sweat, perfume, bathing, hot springs, and chemicals can severely damage jewelry and cause oxidation. It is best to avoid such contact. 2. We recommend wearing your jewelry frequently. The natural oils from your skin can impart a beautiful, warm luster to the piece. 3. Over time, jewelry may oxidize, exhibiting signs of sulfidation or turning yellow/black. You can gently brush the surface with a damp, soft toothbrush using toothpaste or a polishing powder, or use a silver polishing cloth to restore its original metallic sheen. 4. For jewelry with special sulfidation treatment, avoid excessive polishing to preserve the intended effect. 5. If you are concerned about potential skin allergies from the chemical agents in silver or copper polishing cloths, rinse the jewelry with clean water and dry it thoroughly before wearing. 6. Natural stones, crystals, and pearls can be cleaned with clean water and then wiped with a soft cloth. 7. When not wearing your jewelry, clean it and store it in a sealed bag to slow down oxidation. 8. Avoid storing different pieces of jewelry together in the same box, as variations in hardness can lead to friction and wear. 9. Never use any tools other than those recommended for cleaning your jewelry, as they can leave scratches on the surface. If a brush is necessary, use a clean, very soft brush.
