This is one of the most frequently asked questions…
Is it really 925 silver? Is it poor quality?
And the truth is, no; in fact, when this happens, it means we're wearing genuine silver, but this alteration depends on several factors.
Silver reacts to humidity, cosmetics, skin pH, and sweat.
This process is known as oxidation and is part of the material's natural behavior. It can always be polished, cleaned, and made shinier.
But for us, it's not a defect; it's one of its qualities.
The interesting thing is that no two pieces age exactly the same way. Two people can buy the same ring on the same day, and years later, they'll look completely different.
Every mark, every change in color, and every instance of wear tells the story of the wearer.
And this is precisely the effect we strive for at XXL. Many of our pieces are intentionally oxidized to highlight volumes, cracks, textures… Because we believe that a piece of jewelry with personality doesn't have to be perfect.
It has to convey something…
Because we pursue authenticity.
