In the long river of time, silverware is like a mirror of history, reflecting the imprint of time. The pure luster is as warm as flowing water, but with the passage of time, the silverware will quietly change its appearance.
Among all things in the world, silverware is a unique existence. It has a warm jade-like texture and shimmers like the moon. However, the oxidation of silverware, like the inevitable traces of age, gradually dims the luster of the past.
The oxidation of silverware is actually a chemical reaction. When silver comes into contact with oxygen in the air, a chemical reaction occurs that results in the formation of silver oxide. Silver oxide is a black substance that accumulates on the surface of silverware over time, causing it to gradually darken in color.
This oxidation process is not only affected by the environment, but also by human sweat. Therefore, when we wear silver jewelry, it will turn black over time due to oxidation. This process of blackening is slow, but irreversible.
However, even if the silverware turns black, we can still feel the imprint of history from it. Those traces that have been baptized by the years seem to tell an ancient story. It is this sense of history that gives silverware its unique value in our lives.
In the river of time, we cannot stop the oxidation of silverware. However, we can cherish these historical imprints and feel the passage of time and the precipitation of time. Let's take a look at these mirrors of history and feel the stories they tell.
