Do not place an order if you are concerned about this.** Tourmaline, also known as the common name for "Schorl," is the only mineral that perpetually holds an electric charge. Its distinct parallel striations, arranged in perfect rows, possess the ability to instantaneously transmute dense vibrational frequencies into positive energy currents. This process can imbue ordinary drinking water with the sweet, pure taste reminiscent of natural mountain spring water. **Kindly check if the "chain length" and "style" meet your needs. If you make an incorrect selection, you will be responsible for the round-trip shipping fees for any exchanges in length.** **Important Notes for Wearing Silver Jewelry for the First Time** ◮ Avoid activities such as bathing in hot springs or swimming while wearing silver jewelry. The salt in seawater and the acidity of rainwater in nature can subtly corrode metal and cause oxidation. Sulfur found in hot springs will darken the jewelry and cause sulfidation. If exposed to such substances, it is recommended to rinse the silver jewelry with clean water and then dry it thoroughly. ◮ Human sweat, in its role of disinfecting the skin, has a relatively high pH of 4. Studies have confirmed that prolonged contact can corrode metal and accelerate alloy oxidation. As our jewelry is not plated with other materials on the surface, it is more susceptible to corrosion and breakage when wrapped in sweat. However, **not everyone's sweat will cause breakage; if you have had similar experiences, please exercise extra caution.** To maintain the newness of your silver jewelry, it is advisable to clean and dry it after wear if it has come into contact with sweat, and keep it dry. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also cause silver jewelry to erode. Any product with chemical additives can indeed accelerate the oxidation rate of jewelry. Common examples include: skincare products, sunscreen, cosmetics, perfumes, essential oils, cleaning agents, chlorine in swimming pools, etc. 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. ◮ Cultivate 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, and store it in a ziplock bag to block air and maintain dryness. Store jewelry pieces separately to prevent them from rubbing against each other and causing surface scratches or damage. ◮ Regarding the sulfidation of silver jewelry 925 sterling silver is prone to turning yellow or black when exposed to air, which is a natural reaction of silver jewelry, similar to how pure silver reacts with hot spring water. It can be restored to its original luster by gently polishing with a silver polishing cloth. However, in areas that are difficult to polish, such as the crevices of a silver chain, the silver may appear slightly dark. The technique of sulfidation involves directly oxidizing 925 sterling silver jewelry to create a rustic, antique, dark appearance, enhancing contrast and adding depth. This is more uniform and visually appealing 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 newness. ◮ About Us To present the highest quality, each of our pieces is meticulously crafted through repeated inspection, refinement, and polishing. We do not permit any pinholes or imperfections. To ensure the resilience of the material, we employ repeated forging and hammering, giving our silver jewelry a distinct luster and texture. Protective plating has a high probability of peeling off with prolonged wear, which can affect both the environment and the human body, and it also obscures the natural luster of silver. Therefore, our pieces 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 different. We hope you find a unique piece of jewelry that belongs to you here.
