Natural Gemstone / Peridot / Summer Bloom

The ancient Egyptian dynasties, in their worship of the "Sun God," held a particular fondness for this gemstone. Beyond its color, one can observe circular inclusions within the stone, reminiscent of waterlily leaves. This distinctive appearance is precisely why it earned the name "Waterlily leaf." The ancient Egyptians believed this gemstone trapped the sun's radiance within itself, leading to these inclusions being referred to as "Sun spangles."

If you misjudge and need to exchange the length, you will be responsible for the round-trip shipping costs.** **Important Considerations for Wearing Silver Jewelry for the First Time** ◮ When wearing silver jewelry, it's advisable to avoid activities like visiting hot springs or swimming. The salt from seawater and the acidity of rainwater in nature can subtly corrode the metal and cause oxidation. The sulfur found in hot springs will turn the jewelry black and cause vulcanization. If exposed to these elements, it's recommended to rinse the silver jewelry with clean water and then dry it thoroughly. ◮ Human perspiration, which has a slightly acidic pH of 4 for skin disinfection, can cause corrosion and accelerate alloy oxidation with prolonged contact. 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 mindful.** To keep your silver jewelry looking new, it is recommended to clean and dry it after wearing it for the day if it comes into contact with sweat. ◮ Products containing chemical additives can also cause silver jewelry to erode. Products with chemical additives can indeed 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, it is recommended to apply perfume first before wearing jewelry, and avoid direct contact between the jewelry and perfume. ◮ Develop good habits for use and storage. Taiwan's climate is humid, with relatively high ambient moisture. When not wearing the jewelry, be sure to wipe off any sweat or oils with a dry cloth. Store it in a zip-lock bag to block out air and maintain dryness. Store each piece separately to prevent friction and surface scratches or damage. ◮ Regarding the vulcanization 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, much like when pure silver encounters hot spring water. Gently polishing with a silver polishing cloth will restore its original luster. However, in hard-to-reach corners, such as the crevices of a silver chain, it may appear slightly darker. The vulcanization technique involves directly oxidizing 925 sterling silver jewelry to create a rustic, aged, dark appearance, enhancing contrast and adding depth. This is often more uniform and aesthetically pleasing than natural air oxidation, and the crevices do not require extra cleaning or care. Frequent wear, allowing the jewelry's surface to rub against clothing, can help maintain its polished look. ◮ About Us To present the highest quality, each of our creations is meticulously crafted through repeated inspection, refinement, and polishing, with absolutely no tolerance for any pinholes or flaws. To ensure structural integrity, we employ repeated forging and hammering techniques, 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 wearer. It also obscures 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 a unique piece that speaks to you here.
