The salt in seawater and the acidity of rainwater in nature can mildly corrode metal and cause oxidation. Sulfur in hot springs can turn jewelry black and cause vulcanization. If exposed to such elements, rinsing the silver jewelry with clean water and drying it afterward is recommended. ◮ Human sweat has a slightly acidic pH of 4 for antiseptic purposes. 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 exercise extra caution.** To maintain the pristine condition of your silver jewelry, it is recommended to wash and dry it after wearing it for the day if exposed to sweat, and keep it dry. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also cause erosion of silver jewelry. Any product with chemical additives can accelerate the oxidation of jewelry. Common examples include: skincare products, sunscreen, cosmetics, perfumes, essential oils, detergents, and chlorine in swimming pools. For those who habitually wear perfume, it is recommended to spray perfume first, then wear the jewelry, to avoid direct contact between the jewelry and perfume. ◮ Develop good habits for use and storage. Taiwan's climate is humid, and the air humidity is relatively high. When not wearing the jewelry, be sure to wipe off any sweat or oils with a dry cloth and store it in a zip-lock bag to block air and maintain dryness. Store jewelry pieces separately to prevent them from rubbing against each other and causing surface scratches or damage. ◮ About the vulcanization of silver jewelry 925 sterling silver is prone to yellowing or blackening when exposed to air, which is a natural reaction of silver jewelry, similar to how pure silver reacts with hot spring water. Gentle 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 jewelry might appear slightly darker. The vulcanization technique involves intentionally oxidizing 925 sterling silver jewelry to create a rustic, aged, dark appearance, enhancing contrast and adding depth. This oxidation is more uniform and aesthetically pleasing than natural air oxidation, and the crevices do not require extra cleaning. Frequent wear, along with friction from clothing, can help maintain the jewelry's luster. ◮ About Us To present the highest quality, each of our pieces is crafted through repeated inspections, revisions, and polishing, with absolutely no tolerance for pores or imperfections. To ensure structural integrity, we repeatedly forge and hammer the silver, giving our jewelry a unique luster and texture. Plated protective films are highly likely to peel off with prolonged wear, impacting both the environment and the human body, while also obscuring the natural luster of silver. Therefore, our creations are never plated. We invest significantly more time in the details. If you happen 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 a unique piece of jewelry that belongs to you here.
