If you make an incorrect judgment, you will be responsible for the round-trip shipping costs for any length exchanges.** **Important Information for New Silver Jewelry Wearers** ◮ Avoid wearing silver jewelry while visiting hot springs or swimming. The salt in seawater and the acidity of rainwater can mildly corrode metals and cause oxidation. Sulfur in hot springs can darken jewelry and cause vulcanization. If exposed to these substances, rinse the silver jewelry with clean water and dry it thoroughly. ◮ Human sweat is slightly acidic (around PH4) for its skin-sterilizing properties. Prolonged contact can corrode metals and accelerate alloy oxidation. As our jewelry is not electroplated, it is more susceptible to corrosion and breakage when encased in sweat. However, **not everyone's sweat will cause breakage. If you have had similar experiences, please be extra mindful.** To maintain the brilliance of your silver jewelry, 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 corrode silver jewelry. Any product with chemical additives can accelerate the oxidation of jewelry. Common examples include: skincare products, sunscreen, cosmetics, perfumes, essential oils, cleaning agents, chlorine in swimming pools, etc. For those who habitually wear perfume, it is advised to apply perfume first, then wear the jewelry, avoiding direct contact between the jewelry and perfume. ◮ Cultivate good habits for wearing and storage. Taiwan's climate is humid with relatively high air moisture. When not being worn, be sure to wipe off any sweat or oils from the jewelry with a dry cloth. Store it in a ziplock bag to block air and maintain dryness. Store jewelry pieces individually to prevent them from rubbing against each other and causing surface scratches or damage. ◮ Regarding the vulcanization 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. Gently polishing with a silver polishing cloth can restore its original luster. However, in hard-to-reach areas like the crevices of a silver chain, the silver might appear slightly dark. The vulcanization technique involves intentionally oxidizing 925 sterling silver jewelry to create an antique, aged, dark appearance, enhancing contrast and depth. This often looks more uniform and appealing than natural air oxidation, and the crevices do not require extra cleaning. Regular wear, where the silver's surface rubs against clothing, can help maintain its polished appearance. ◮ About Us To present the highest quality, each of our pieces is meticulously crafted through repeated inspections, adjustments, and polishing. We do not permit any pinholes or imperfections. To ensure structural integrity, we repeatedly forge and hammer the silver, giving our jewelry a unique luster and texture. Electroplated protective coatings have a high probability of peeling off with prolonged wear, which can affect both the environment and the human body, while also obscuring the natural luster of silver. Therefore, our pieces are never electroplated. 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.
