Void Gemstone Giulia Round Sterling Silver Earrings

▎The shadow of the object fell upon the ego. - Sigmund Freud The name of the 〈WHITE DAYS〉 collection is inspired by Andrei Tarkovsky's film notes for "Mirror." This collection explores the subtle connection between absence and existence through the facets of gemstones and their negative space. The incised facets resemble a void left by something lost, yet as light and shadow shift, they create an optical illusion of the gemstone, flickering like fragmented memories that subtly echo. These earrings are available in both square and round shapes. To maintain a understated aesthetic, the surface treatment options are matte silver with a baked white finish and vulcanized black dye. Both finishes retain a matte, non-reflective texture. The matte silver with baked white finish showcases the natural oxidation color of silver after high-temperature firing. This color may subtly yellow over time, imbuing the earrings with a unique personal mark. Alternatively, the oxidation layer can be easily removed with a silver polishing cloth to reveal the original silver's luster.

This is a natural process that can sometimes add a unique texture to an object, evoking a sense of imperfection and the transient passage of time. Others may prefer the original luster of silver. Plating is not a permanent treatment; the plating layer will wear off over time depending on usage. Cleaning silver jewelry at home is not difficult. The simplest and most effective method is to use a silver polishing cloth. The chemicals within the cloth quickly remove oxidation, while the non-woven fabric can wipe away other dirt. For intricate details or grooves, use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) with warm water and a non-abrasive, neutral detergent (do not use toothpaste). Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry completely. Note: Household chemicals, sweat, rubber, chlorinated water, and any substances containing sulfur (e.g., mayonnaise, eggs, mustard, onions, latex, wool) can accelerate silver's oxidation or cause minor corrosion on other metals. Lotions, hairsprays, cosmetics, and perfumes may also speed up metal oxidation or cause surface damage. Additionally, soil and many household cleaners contain abrasive particles that can leave scratches on the metal surface. Therefore, we recommend wearing gloves or removing jewelry when doing household chores. For re-plating, polishing, or professional cleaning services, please message us to inquire.
