The salt in seawater and the acidity of rainwater can slightly corrode metal and cause oxidation. Sulfur in hot springs will cause jewelry to turn black and undergo sulfidation. If exposed to these substances, rinse the jewelry with clean water and dry it thoroughly. ◮ Human sweat has a slightly acidic pH of 4, which aids in skin sterilization. Studies show that prolonged contact can corrode metals and accelerate alloy oxidation. As our jewelry is not plated with other materials, it is more susceptible to corrosion and breakage when in contact with sweat. **However, not everyone's sweat will cause breakage. If you have had similar experiences, please exercise 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 it has come into contact with sweat, and ensure it is kept dry. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also erode silver jewelry. Products with added chemicals can accelerate the oxidation of jewelry. Common examples include: skincare products, sunscreens, cosmetics, perfumes, essential oils, cleaning agents, and chlorine in swimming pools...etc. If you habitually wear perfume, it is recommended to apply perfume first, then wear your jewelry, to avoid direct contact between the jewelry and the perfume. ◮ Develop good habits for use and storage. Taiwan's climate is humid, with relatively high atmospheric moisture. When not wearing your jewelry, be sure to wipe off any sweat or oils with a dry cloth. Store it in a ziplock bag to prevent air exposure and maintain dryness. Store jewelry items separately to avoid friction, which can cause surface scratches and damage. ◮ Regarding the sulfidation of silver jewelry 925 sterling silver can easily oxidize and turn yellow or black when exposed to air; this is a natural reaction of silver, similar to how it reacts with hot spring water. Gently polishing with a silver polishing cloth can restore its original luster. However, areas that are difficult to reach with a polishing cloth, such as the crevices of a silver chain, may appear slightly darker. The technique of sulfidation involves directly oxidizing 925 sterling silver jewelry to create an antique, vintage, dark aesthetic that enhances contrast and dimensionality. This is often more visually appealing than natural air oxidation and requires no extra cleaning for the crevices. Regular wear, with the jewelry's surface gently rubbing against clothing, can help maintain its shine. ◮ About Us To achieve the highest quality, each of our pieces is crafted through repeated inspections, adjustments, and polishing, with absolutely no tolerance for porosity or flaws. To ensure structural integrity, we repeatedly forge the silver, giving our jewelry a unique luster and texture. Plated protective films have a high probability of peeling off with long-term wear, which can affect both the environment and the human body, while also obscuring the natural luster of silver. Therefore, our pieces are never plated. We dedicate significantly more time to the details. If you have the opportunity to purchase our work, you will discover that its oxidation rate is considerably slower than most other silver products, and its luster is also distinct. We hope you find a unique piece that belongs to you here.
