Subsequently, the material is cut, chiseled, twisted, forged, and rolled to create diverse patterns on its surface. The name "Mokume-gane," meaning "wood grain metal," originates from these visual effects that resemble the grain of wood—flowers blooming from cold metal. **Mokume-gane is fascinating to observe. Purple copper oxidizes easily. Over time, it will gradually deepen in color from a light rose gold. The speed and extent of this oxidation will vary depending on individual wear habits and environmental conditions.** **The inner band of the ring is made of 990 silver, ensuring comfortable and secure wear.** As this is a purely handmade item, and by its very nature, some minor marks of craftsmanship are inherent. Those who are sensitive to such details should consider this carefully. ▲ Silver Jewelry Care: 1. This piece is handcrafted and not electroplated. Silver jewelry, particularly purple copper, will naturally oxidize when in prolonged contact with air and perspiration. This is a normal chemical reaction that adds depth and character over time, enhancing its unique style. If oxidation occurs, gently polish the surface of the jewelry with a soft cloth and a small amount of toothpaste. After restoring its original color, rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry completely. 2. Each order includes a silver polishing cloth, which can also be used to restore the original luster of your silver jewelry. 3. If you do not plan to wear the jewelry for an extended period, please clean it, dry it thoroughly, and store it in a sealed bag. 4. For silver items with an aged or oxidized finish, using toothpaste or a silver polishing cloth will restore them to their original silver color. Please use these methods judiciously.
