Black silver doesn't exist :)

I write it here because I like to explain it whenever I do a commission in "black silver". There is no black precious metal, but some, such as silver, can be darkened by oxidizing. That oxide creates a dark layer, resulting in "black silver", which is also called "antiqued silver," "darkened silver," or "oxidized silver."

...and since it is a layer, it can be polished over time: with rubbing, or with the sweat of your skin (it depends on your ph or if you use cosmetics), or depending on the humidity and the climate of where you live. It is possible that if you keep a ring in "black silver" over time that oxidized layer will go away and the piece will become a polished silver jewel. It is a natural process. If it happens to you, you can go to a jewelry store and ask them to oxidize it again, or you can also go through this process from darkness to light :-) You decide: I like to explain it so that you know the characteristics of the jewel you are buying.

Kind in the East and wicked in the West

The famous green dragon on the Dragon Bridge in Ljubljana.

The story of dragons is one of the oldest and most fascinating in the world of mythology and fantasy. Throughout the centuries, dragons have been depicted in various cultures around the world as powerful, magical, and often dangerous creatures. The most curious thing is that in the East, as in China and Japan, they are kind beings. On the other hand, in the West, in the European tradition, they are evil and dangerous.

In many Asian cultures, dragons are seen as benevolent beings and symbols of good luck and prosperity. In Chinese mythology, the dragon is a symbol of strength and divine wisdom, and is considered a protector of life and prosperity. In Japanese mythology, dragons are gods of water and are credited with powers to control the weather and water.

In European mythology, however, dragons are often seen as fierce and evil creatures that breathe fire and devour humans. These representations are especially common in medieval legends, where knights face dragons to save princesses and entire towns, such as the legend of Saint George.

In modern literature, dragons remain a popular subject in fantasy and science fiction. They are often described as intelligent creatures, able to speak and form emotional bonds with humans.

Game of Thrones and dragons

In the Game of Thrones series, dragons are an integral part of the plot. They are a race of intelligent and highly powerful beings that were thought to be extinct for centuries. However, Queen Daenerys Targaryen, who is a descendant of the family that ruled the kingdom of Westeros for centuries before the rebellion, manages to recover three dragon eggs and, after hatching them, manages to raise Drogon, Rhaegal and Viserion.

The dragons in the series are impressive and fearsome creatures that can fly and breathe fire, but are also highly intelligent and sensitive to human emotions. In the plot, dragons become a key power tool for Daenerys, who uses their strength and her ability to fly to gather an army and conquer various territories.

In short, dragons become one of the main weapons in the fight for the Iron Throne, and their role in the plot is crucial for the development of the story. Throughout the series, dragons are objects of fascination and admiration, but also fear and respect, and their presence adds a dimension of fantasy and magic to the Game of Thrones story.

How do you know if you are a male or female dragon?

In most legends, dragons have no clear gender distinction and are described simply as "dragons". However, some traditions attribute certain characteristics to male and female dragons.

For example, in some cultures, male dragons are believed to be larger and more aggressive than females, while females are more agile and cunning. Additionally, some legends suggest that female dragons are more likely to protect their nest and offspring, while male dragons focus on foraging for food and marking their territory.

And you, are you a male dragon or a female dragon?
