**Traditional Silver Whitening Technique
A testament to the timeless beauty of pure silver through an ancient Chinese whitening technique.
A meticulous process rooted in tradition, "Su Yin Shao Bai" (literally "plain silver fire-whitening") revives the luminous essence of un-plated fine silver (990/999‰)by:
z-1. Flame Purification – The silver is carefully heated until red-hot, allowing natural oxidation to burn away, restoring its raw brilliance.
2. Acid Bath Revival (pickling) – After firing, the piece is immersed in a mild pickling solution (historically alum water) to cleanse residual tarnish.
3. Hand-Polished Radiance– Finally, artisans polish the silver with agate or soft brushes, enhancing its signature matte-white glow—distinct from modern rhodium plating.
Measurements: Adjustable.

Care Rituals:
-
Handle with Care
Silver is a delicate metal—avoid sharp impacts or rough handling. Highly polished surfaces may develop scratches if subjected to abrasion.
-
Shield from Chemicals
Protect your jewelry from direct contact with perfumes, lotions, detergents, and other chemicals, as they accelerate tarnishing or damage finishes.
-
Keep Dry
Remove jewelry before bathing, swimming, or intense physical activity. Moisture and prolonged exposure to air can hasten oxidation.
-
Store Thoughtfully
When not in use, seal your pieces in an airtight pouch or jewelry box to minimize air exposure and slow tarnishing.
-
Restore with Ease
Should oxidation occur, gently polish with a silver-cleaning cloth or cream to revive its original luster.
