The salt in seawater and the acidity of rainwater can slightly corrode metal and cause oxidation. Sulfur in hot springs will blacken jewelry and cause vulcanization. If exposed to such substances, rinse the silver jewelry with clean water and dry it thoroughly. ◮ Human sweat has a slightly lower pH of 4 for its antibacterial properties. Studies have shown that prolonged contact can corrode metal 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 be extra cautious.** To maintain the pristine condition of your silver jewelry, it is recommended to wash and dry it after wearing it for the day, and keep it dry. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also cause silver jewelry to corrode. Any product with added chemicals can accelerate the oxidation of jewelry. Common examples include: skincare products, sunscreen, cosmetics, perfumes, essential oils, detergents, chlorine in swimming pools, etc. For those who regularly wear perfume, it is recommended to spray perfume first, then wear jewelry, to avoid direct contact between the jewelry and perfume. ◮ Develop good habits for use and storage. Taiwan's climate is humid, with relatively high air moisture. When not wearing the jewelry, be sure to wipe off any sweat or oil with a dry cloth and store it in a zipper bag to keep it dry and protected from air. Also, store each piece separately to prevent friction and scratches. ◮ About the vulcanization of silver jewelry 925 sterling silver is prone to yellowing or blackening when exposed to air; this is a natural reaction of silver, similar to its reaction with hot spring water. Gentle polishing with a silver polishing cloth will restore its original luster. However, in hard-to-reach areas like the gaps in a silver chain, the silver may appear slightly dark. Vulcanization is a technique where 925 sterling silver jewelry is intentionally oxidized to create a rustic, antique, dark appearance. This enhances contrast and adds depth, appearing more even and aesthetically pleasing than natural air oxidation. The crevices do not require extra cleaning; frequent wear and friction with clothing can help maintain the jewelry's shine. ◮ About Us To present the highest quality, each of our pieces is crafted through repeated inspections, adjustments, and polishing. We do not allow any pinholes or imperfections. To ensure toughness, we employ repeated forging techniques, giving our silver jewelry a unique luster and texture. Protective plating is highly likely to peel off with long-term wear, impacting both the environment and the human body, and obscuring the natural luster of silver. Therefore, our pieces are never plated. We dedicate significantly more time to the details. If you happen to purchase one of our pieces, you will notice that its oxidation rate is considerably slower than most other silver products, and its luster is also distinct. We hope you find your unique piece of jewelry here.
