This is why we choose 925 sterling silver for our series of products. Each piece is meticulously finished by professional artisans, intentionally retaining a forged texture to fully showcase the natural grain and metallic luster of the adornment. Over time, through environmental exposure, wear, and usage habits, each piece develops its unique character, reflecting personal style and the depth of time. - **■ Color: Gold.** **■ Material: Brass, International Standard 925 Sterling Silver, plated with 18K gold.** ■ Utilizing electrolysis, a layer of K gold is plated onto the surface of sterling silver or brass using an electroplating solution. The gold layer is approximately 5-10 microns thick, using jewelry-grade, nickel-free plating for a K gold aesthetic. It possesses characteristics of being resistant to oxidation, fading, and enhanced hardness. The gold plating layer, containing gold, may gradually wear off due to environmental humidity, the wearer's perspiration pH, and friction with skin, revealing the base metal. This is a normal phenomenon. When the gold plating layer wears off, we recommend booking a replating service to maintain the item's exquisite finish. ----------------------------------------- **✦✦✦ Packaging ✦✦✦** ■ This item comes with gift packaging, making it ideal for gifting. ■ Gift Packaging includes: Gift box, care card, storage pouch, and sealing bag. ■ The gift box is made from recycled paper. ■ We offer a complimentary card writing service.
