If you make an incorrect selection, you will be responsible for the round-trip shipping costs for exchanges.** **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 and oxidize metal. Sulfur in hot springs will cause jewelry to darken and undergo sulfidation. If exposed to these elements, rinse the silver jewelry with clean water and dry it thoroughly. ◮ Human sweat has a slightly acidic pH of 4 for antibacterial purposes. Studies have shown that prolonged contact can corrode metals and accelerate alloy oxidation. Our jewelry is not plated with other materials on the surface, making it 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 keep silver jewelry looking new, we recommend washing and drying it after wearing it for the day if it comes into contact with sweat, and keeping it dry. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also cause silver jewelry to corrode. Products 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, we suggest applying perfume first and then wearing 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 your 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. Store each piece separately to prevent friction and surface scratches. ◮ 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 pure silver reacts with hot spring water. Simply gently polishing with a silver polishing cloth will restore its original luster. However, in hard-to-reach areas like the crevices of a silver chain, the silver may appear slightly darker. Sulfidation is a technique where 925 sterling silver jewelry is intentionally oxidized 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. Frequent wear, allowing the surface of the silver jewelry to rub against clothing, can help maintain its new appearance. ◮ 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 imperfections. To ensure structural integrity, we employ repeated forging and hammering, giving our silver jewelry a unique luster and texture. Protective plating is highly likely to peel off with prolonged wear, impacting both the environment and the human body, and 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 your unique piece of jewelry here.
