silver925 / 18k plated silver925 / 18k / pt950

-silver925
Silver925 means that it is 92.5% silver, with the remaining 7.5% being a mixture of metals such as copper.

Silver accessories may turn black if worn for a long time.
Many people think that this discoloration is due to rust, but in fact it has turned black due to a reaction called sulfidation.
When silver turns black due to reaction with sulfur components in the air, sweat, or hot spring components (hot springs without sulfur will not react), this is called sulfuration.

There is a technique called "smoking" that deliberately darkens silver, so if you like the look of a well-used item, you can enjoy the natural darkening that occurs as you use it. If you like it shiny, cleaning it will make it look nice.

To clean, wipe with the included silver cloth. We recommend storing in a sealable bag.

This item is unlikely to cause allergies, but if you experience an allergic reaction, please stop wearing it immediately.

-18k plated silver925

Silver 925 with 18k coating.

Please be careful when handling the product as the plating may come off if it gets wet or if you wash it by hand while wearing it.

When cleaning, wipe gently with a soft cloth. (Please note that wiping with a silver cloth may remove the plating.) Please store in a sealable bag.

-18k

The gold coating on silver 925 is called 18k and is about 75% pure gold. The remaining metals other than pure gold are generally mixed with silver and copper. It is resistant to discoloration and has durability, making it suitable for processing into accessories. In addition, it is said that the high purity of the gold makes it less likely to cause allergies.

-Pt950

Pt950 is platinum with a purity of 95% that meets international standards. (The Platinum Guild International, an international public relations organization for platinum, has set the international standard for platinum jewelry at Pt950 or higher.) It is a rare precious metal characterized by its silvery hue and elegant shine. It is a material with characteristics that make it suitable for wedding rings, which are often worn daily, as it does not change color or deteriorate, and is unlikely to cause metal allergies.

*Please note that this is a metal that is easily scratched.
