The salt in seawater and the acidity in rainwater can mildly corrode metal and cause oxidation. Sulfur in hot springs will cause jewelry to turn black and undergo vulcanization. If exposed to these substances, it is recommended to rinse the silver jewelry with clean water and then dry it. ◮ Human sweat, used by the body to kill bacteria, has a slightly alkaline pH of 4. 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 careful.** To keep silver jewelry looking its best, 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. Any product with chemical additives can accelerate the oxidation of jewelry. Common examples include: skincare products, sunscreen, cosmetics, perfumes, essential oils, detergents, 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 wearing and storing your jewelry. Taiwan's climate is humid, with relatively high air moisture content. 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 prevent air exposure and maintain dryness. Also, store each piece of jewelry separately to prevent friction and surface scratches or damage. ◮ About the vulcanization of silver jewelry 925 sterling silver is prone to oxidizing and turning yellow or black when exposed to air. This is a natural reaction of silver jewelry, similar to how pure silver reacts with hot spring water. Simply polishing it gently with a silver polishing cloth can restore its original luster. However, in hard-to-reach areas like the gaps in a silver chain, it can appear slightly dark. Vulcanization 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 gaps do not require extra cleaning. Frequent wear, where the surface of the jewelry rubs against clothing, can help maintain its shine. ◮ About Us To present the highest quality, each of our creations undergoes repeated inspection, refinement, and polishing. We absolutely do not allow any porosity or imperfections. To ensure the tenacity of the material, we repeatedly forge and hammer the silver, giving our jewelry a unique luster and texture. Plating protective films have a high probability of peeling off with long-term wear and 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 our work, you will find that its oxidation rate is significantly slower compared to most other silver products, and its luster is also distinct. We hope you can find your own unique piece of jewelry here.
