Sterling Silver
Luminous yet naturally evolving, sterling silver responds to light, air, and touch. Over time, its surface develops a rich patina, deepening in tone and revealing the quiet traces of time and use.
Sterling silver is shiny and flexible, and it speaks of luxury and timelessness. As an exclusive and natural material, Sterling silver isn't immune to the effects of time and exposure. With time, it oxidizes, embracing stains and transitioning into a brown, dark hue.
Though it is possible to polish the silver inlays, we instead recommend to embrace the transformation, as the colour of oxidized silver will naturally match the warm colour of the walnut.
If you decide to polish the silver after all, please only use dry wipes from Sterling Polish Company that are specially made for silver. It is highly important to avoid all polishing agents as these will damage the wood. When in doubt please reach out to info@finnjuhl.com.
In its essence, silver isn’t meant to remain constant. Synthetic and superficial materials can remain unchanged while natural materials thrive in evolution. The key lies in embracing its journey and the stories etched on its surface.
