Crafted to the internationally recognized 925 sterling silver standard, it is free from chemical processing and allergens. We prioritize meticulous detail and wearing comfort. Through the delicate polishing process by our skilled artisans, each piece is entirely handcrafted, intentionally preserving the forged texture to fully showcase the natural patterns and metallic luster of the jewelry. Sterling silver pieces develop a unique patina over time with wear and handling, reflecting personal style and the depth of time. - **■ Color: Gold.** ■ Material: Brass with 18K gold plating. ■ Utilizing recycled copper as raw material, a protective layer of K gold is applied to the brass base through electrolysis. The plating thickness is approximately 5-10 microns. We use jewelry-grade, nickel-free plating, offering a K gold aesthetic with enhanced resistance to oxidation, fading, and improved hardness. The gold plating layer contains gold and may gradually wear off due to environmental humidity, the wearer's perspiration pH, and friction with the skin, revealing the base metal. This is a normal phenomenon. When the plating layer wears thin, re-plating services are recommended to maintain the jewelry's beautiful appearance. ⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃ ✦✦✦ Packaging ✦✦✦ ■ This item comes with gift packaging, making it ideal for gifting. ■ Gift Packaging Includes: Gift box, care card, storage pouch, and sealing bag. ■ The gift box is made from recycled paper. ■ We offer a complimentary card writing service.

Be cautious of friction or collision with other jewelry that may cause deformation. ■ We recommend storing in a sealed environment to maintain the jewelry's condition. ■ Silver jewelry can be polished with a silver polishing cloth. ■ Do not use a silver polishing cloth on charcoal gray or gold-plated jewelry. ⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃⁃ ✦✦✦ Warranty Information ✦✦✦ ■ Return Policy: https://www.pinkoi.com/policy#~g ■ If you notice any defects upon receiving the product, please take photos as evidence and contact customer service within seven days of receipt to arrange for an exchange or return.
