Production Technique
Sterling Silver is an alloy of Silver (Ag), Copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn) and has a white color.
Even though it’s a precious metal, Sterling silver can “rust” (tarnish). Also known as oxidation. If it oxidizes, it gets a thin black layer. This is due to the copper in the alloy.
Our Silver designs are made through the process called: wax 3D printing and lost-wax casting.
In short, it’s a combination of state-of-the-art technology and traditional jewelry crafting.

When Sterling silver oxidizes, it gets a thin black layer. This usually happens when you’re not wearing your jewelry for some time. Friction with your skin and clothes prevents the oxidization layer to become visible.
To remove the tarnishing, you can use a soft (polishing) cloth and rub the tarnishing off. This will achieve a like-new surface.

The blackening is a thin layer of oxidation. But since it’s only in recessed areas, it won’t be prone to wear.
We therefore we advise this finish for daily wear.
