Formed approximately 15 million years ago, Moldavite is the result of a massive meteorite impact on Earth's surface. The intense heat and pressure from this cosmic event fused the meteorite with surrounding rocks, creating a glassy substance reminiscent of ocean spray. Moldavite was discovered in the Moldau River valley in the Czech Republic, hence its English name. In Chinese, it is known as "捷克隕石" (Czech Meteorite). **Please confirm that the chain length and style meet your needs. If you mistakenly choose the wrong length, you will be responsible for the round-trip shipping costs for an exchange.** **Important Notes for Wearing Silver Jewelry for the First Time** ◮ Avoid wearing silver jewelry while bathing in hot springs or swimming. The salt in seawater and the acidity of rainwater can slightly corrode metals and cause oxidation. Sulfur in hot springs can also cause the jewelry to darken and undergo sulfidation. If exposed to these substances, rinse the jewelry with clean water and dry it thoroughly. ◮ Human sweat is slightly acidic (pH 4) as it helps to sterilize the body. 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 be extra cautious.** To maintain the pristine appearance of your silver jewelry, it is recommended to wash off sweat after wearing it for the day, wipe it dry, and keep it in a dry place. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also erode silver jewelry. Any product with chemical additives can accelerate the oxidation of jewelry. Common examples include: skincare products, sunscreen, cosmetics, perfumes, essential oils, cleaning agents, and chlorine in swimming pools. If you habitually wear perfume, it is recommended to apply perfume first and then wear your jewelry, avoiding direct contact between the jewelry and the 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 oils with a dry cloth. Store it in a ziplock bag to block air and maintain dryness. It is also advisable to store pieces separately to prevent them from rubbing against each other and causing surface scratches or damage. ◮ Regarding the sulfidation of silver jewelry 925 sterling silver is prone to oxidation, turning yellow or black when exposed to air. This is a natural reaction of silver, similar to how pure silver reacts with hot spring water. Gently 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 silver may appear slightly darker. The technique of sulfidation involves intentionally oxidizing 925 sterling silver jewelry to create an antique, aged, dark appearance, enhancing contrast and adding depth. This is more uniform and aesthetically pleasing than natural air oxidation, and the crevices do not require extra cleaning. Regular wear, with the friction from clothing against the jewelry's surface, can help maintain its newness. ◮ About Us To present the highest quality, each of our pieces is meticulously crafted through repeated inspections, adjustments, and polishing. We do not permit any pinholes or flaws. To ensure structural integrity, we repeatedly forge and hammer the metal, giving our silver jewelry a unique luster and texture that sets it apart. Protective plating is highly likely to peel off with prolonged wear, which can affect 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 have the opportunity 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.
