Earring dimensions approximately: 9 x 7 x 7 mm 7 x 7 x 5mm **Important Notes for First-Time Silver Jewelry Wearers** ◮ Avoid wearing silver jewelry while bathing in hot springs or swimming. The salt in seawater and the acidity of rainwater can slightly corrode metal and cause oxidation. Sulfur in hot springs can also cause jewelry to turn black and undergo sulfidation. If exposed to these substances, rinse the silver jewelry with clean water and dry it thoroughly. ◮ Human sweat has a slightly acidic pH of 4, which is intended to sterilize the skin. Studies have shown that prolonged contact can corrode metals and accelerate the oxidation of alloys. As our jewelry is not plated with other materials on the surface, it is 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 your silver jewelry looking new, we recommend washing and drying it after wearing it for the day, and ensuring it remains 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, cleaning agents, and chlorine in swimming pools. If you habitually wear perfume, we recommend 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 zip-lock bag to block air and maintain dryness. Store each piece separately to prevent friction and surface scratches. ◮ About Sulfidation of Silver Jewelry 925 sterling silver can oxidize and turn yellow or black when exposed to air; this is a natural reaction of silver, similar to how it 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 a rustic, antique, 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, where the jewelry's surface rubs against clothing, can help maintain its new appearance. ◮ About Us To present the highest quality, each of our pieces is meticulously crafted through repeated inspection, refinement, and polishing, with absolutely no tolerance for porosity or imperfections. To ensure structural integrity, we repeatedly forge and hammer the silver, giving our jewelry a unique luster and texture. Plated protective films have a high probability of peeling off with prolonged wear, which can affect both the environment and the human body, and also obscure the natural luster of silver. Therefore, our pieces are never plated. We invest significantly more time in the details. If you happen 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 a unique piece of jewelry that belongs to you here.
