Product Care
These rings are durable, but they’re not immortal. They’re a snapshot in time, meant to be worn, loved, and changed alongside you.
Silver, like most things worth owning, changes with time. It reacts to the air, the oils on your skin, the moments you live through. It may shine. It may dull. It may tarnish. It may scratch. It’s not a flaw—it’s the metal remembering.
Any brand promising silver jewelry that “lasts forever” is selling you an idea, not a reality. Sterling silver doesn’t crumble away, but it does shift, oxidize, and evolve. That’s part of the beauty. Each mark, each patina, is a reminder that nothing is still—not you, not the piece, not the world around you.
Some jewelers will coat the metal in a temporarily protective film to limit oxidation for a few months, but those are also impermanent solutions that merely delay the inevitable.
Silver Care Tips
- Tarnish is normal. It’s just silver oxidizing, and it can be rubbed away with a soft cloth if you prefer the shine.
- Avoid chemical cleaners if your piece has intentional darkening (oxidation). Almost all of 4th Death's jewelry makes use of blackening. Submerging a ring in chemical cleaning solutions will strip away the oxidation details.
- Store in a dry place, ideally in a pouch or box, to slow oxidation when not in use.
- Wear it often. Contact with your skin helps keep silver bright. It's almost ironic that the best care is to wear it.
- If needed, polish gently with a silver cloth—never anything abrasive.
