Dream of Clear Skies (Black Agate Stone / Shoushan Stone / Turquoise / White Crystal / Apatite)

"Original creation. Any resemblance to other works is purely coincidental. The following descriptions are inspired by legends or imaginative sources, not guaranteed effects." As the sky clears after the rain, The dark clouds slowly drift away. A soft glow reflects in the deepening blue, Where white and mint green interlace, Dreams awaken gently with the clear sky. Metal Care: 1. Avoid Contact with Water and Sweat: Metal oxidizes easily when exposed to moisture. It is recommended to remove jewelry before washing hands, swimming, or exercising. Sweat and water can accelerate discoloration of the accessories. 2. Keep Away from Chemicals: Chemicals found in cosmetics, perfumes, and cleaning agents can damage the surface of accessories. It is advisable to put on jewelry after applying makeup to avoid direct contact with chemicals. 3. Prevent Collisions and Friction: Collisions and friction can cause surface scratches. Try to avoid rubbing or dropping jewelry against hard objects. 4. Store Separately: When storing jewelry, it is best to keep it in a sealed bag or an anti-oxidation pouch, and store it separately from other metal accessories to prevent friction and oxidation reactions. 5. Polishing and Maintenance: Silver jewelry can be polished with a silver polishing cloth. Other metal accessories can be wiped with a regular glasses cloth. Please note that using a silver polishing cloth on non-silver items may cause a chemical reaction. --- Metal Experimentation and Usage Conditions: Self-conducted experiments tested the performance of metals in various environments (sulfurous hot springs, high salinity, abrasion, hydrochloric acid), with the following results: ◇ Brass: Under natural wear, it gradually deepens in color, presenting a rustic style. One metal, two experiences. High-salinity environments may produce yellowish-brown copper oxide. ◇ Alloy (Brass/Zinc/Stainless Steel/Silver surface, Copper/Brass interior): Please be aware if you have copper allergies! Experiments show that high salinity or high acidity environments accelerate oxidation, leading to darkening or verdigris formation. ◇ S925 Sterling Silver: Turns black in sulfurous environments. Becomes foggy in high-salinity environments (can be wiped with a silver polishing cloth). Turns red or foggy in hydrochloric acid environments. ◇ Type 304 Stainless Steel: Very stable in general environments. May develop pitting (greenish-brown oxide) when exposed to hydrochloric acid. After the outer layer is compromised, exposure to high-salinity environments will generate yellowish-brown oxides. ◇ Zinc Alloy: Very stable in general environments, but may develop cracks in highly acidic environments (such as hydrochloric acid), leading to changes from the cracks and causing the metal to become brittle. ◇ 14K Gold Filled (Plated): The interior is typically brass, with a relatively thick gold layer plated on the outside. Under normal use, it can last for 5-10 years. Avoid contact with chemicals when wearing. If the outer layer is scratched, revealing the copper layer, oxidation may occur; in the experimental environments described above, the outer layer remains very stable.
