We're thrilled to unveil our brand new studio space! After months of planning and design, we've created a workshop environment that truly reflects what MixGene is all about - fun, hands-on jewelry workshops in a space filled with natural light, plants, and creative energy.

Our new location is designed specifically for couples, friends, and families who want to create memorable experiences together. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with plenty of natural sunlight streaming through large windows, surrounded by lush greenery that brings a sense of calm and inspiration to the creative process.

Every corner of the studio has been thoughtfully designed to make your workshop experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. From the expanded workbenches to the cozy seating areas, we've created a space where you can truly relax and focus on crafting your unique piece.

We can't wait to welcome you to our new home and help you create something beautiful!

Looking back on our journey, we're incredibly humbled and grateful to share that we've welcomed over 4,000 students through our workshop doors over the past few years. Each person who has sat at our workbench, shaped silver with their hands, and left with a handcrafted piece has added to the rich tapestry of MixGene's story.

What started as a small passion project has grown into something far beyond what we ever imagined. We've had the privilege of being part of countless special moments - engagement ring creations, anniversary celebrations, friendship tokens, and personal milestones. Each workshop is unique, each piece tells a story, and each student brings their own energy and creativity.

We've learned so much from every single person who has joined us. Your stories, your ideas, your laughter, and even your nervousness (which always turns into confidence!) have shaped who we are as instructors and as a community.

Thank you for trusting us with your memories. Here's to the next 4,000 and beyond!

電鍍飾品需要特別的照顧才能保持其美麗的外觀。以下是一些重要的保養建議：

避免化學物質接觸
電鍍層非常薄且敏感，應避免接觸香水、化妝品、清潔劑等化學物質。這些物質可能會腐蝕或損壞電鍍層。

溫和清潔
使用柔軟的布料輕輕擦拭飾品表面。避免使用研磨性的清潔劑或過度拋光，這可能會磨損電鍍層。

正確存放
將電鍍飾品存放在乾燥的地方，最好用軟布包裹或放在珠寶盒中，避免與其他飾品摩擦。

日常佩戴注意事項
- 洗手、洗澡或游泳前請摘下飾品
- 避免在運動或進行體力活動時佩戴
- 最後戴上，最先摘下

遵循這些簡單的護理步驟，您的電鍍飾品將能保持其光澤和美麗多年。

Plated jewelry requires special care to maintain its beautiful appearance. Here are some important maintenance tips:

Avoid Chemical Contact
The plating layer is very thin and sensitive. Avoid contact with perfumes, cosmetics, cleaners, and other chemicals that may corrode or damage the plating.

Gentle Cleaning
Use a soft cloth to gently wipe the surface. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive polishing that may wear down the plating.

Proper Storage
Store plated jewelry in a dry place, preferably wrapped in soft cloth or in a jewelry box, away from other jewelry to prevent scratching.

Following these simple care steps will help your plated jewelry maintain its luster and beauty for years to come.

K金飾品以其耐用性和美麗的色澤而受到喜愛。適當的保養可以讓您的K金飾品保持最佳狀態。

定期清潔
使用溫和的肥皂水和軟毛刷輕輕清潔K金飾品。沖洗乾淨後用軟布擦乾。建議每月清潔一次。

避免化學物質
雖然K金比純金更耐用，但仍應避免接觸漂白劑、氯水等強化學物質。

專業保養
每年至少一次到專業珠寶店進行檢查和清潔，確保鑲嵌的寶石牢固，表面無刮痕。

日常佩戴建議
- 做家務時請摘下飾品
- 避免撞擊或刮擦
- 單獨存放，避免與其他飾品混放

妥善保養的K金飾品可以世代相傳，成為珍貴的家族傳承。

K gold jewelry is loved for its durability and beautiful color. Proper care will keep your K gold jewelry in optimal condition.

Regular Cleaning
Clean K gold jewelry monthly with mild soap water and a soft brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.

Avoid Chemicals
While K gold is more durable than pure gold, avoid contact with bleach, chlorine, and other harsh chemicals.

Professional Maintenance
Visit a professional jeweler at least once a year for inspection and cleaning to ensure gemstones are secure and the surface is scratch-free.

With proper care, K gold jewelry can be passed down through generations as precious family heirlooms.

純銀飾品以其獨特的光澤和親民的價格深受喜愛。但銀飾容易氧化變黑，需要適當的保養。

防止氧化
銀飾品最大的敵人是空氣和濕氣。不佩戴時，應將銀飾存放在密封袋或首飾盒中，可以放入防潮珠或抗氧化紙。

清潔方法
1. 日常清潔: 用專用的銀布擦拭
2. 深度清潔: 使用銀飾清潔液浸泡，然後用軟毛刷輕刷
3. 自然方法: 用牙膏或小蘇打輕輕擦拭，然後徹底沖洗

佩戴建議
- 經常佩戴的銀飾反而不容易氧化
- 避免接觸溫泉、海水、化妝品
- 運動或睡覺時建議摘下

恢復光澤
如果銀飾已經變黑，不要擔心！這是正常的氧化現象。使用銀布或銀水清潔後，通常可以恢復原有的光澤。

定期保養的純銀飾品會越戴越亮，陪伴您度過每一個重要時刻。

Sterling silver jewelry is loved for its unique luster and accessible price. However, silver tends to oxidize and tarnish, requiring proper care.

Prevent Oxidation
Air and moisture are silver's biggest enemies. Store silver jewelry in sealed bags or jewelry boxes with anti-tarnish strips or silica gel packets when not wearing.

Cleaning Methods
1. Daily cleaning: Use a silver polishing cloth
2. Deep cleaning: Soak in silver cleaning solution, then gently brush
3. Natural method: Gently rub with toothpaste or baking soda, then rinse thoroughly

Wearing Tips
- Frequently worn silver jewelry actually tarnishes less
- Avoid contact with hot springs, seawater, cosmetics
- Remove during sports or sleep

Restoring Shine
If your silver has tarnished, don't worry! This is normal oxidation. It can usually be restored to its original luster with a silver cloth or cleaning solution.

With regular care, sterling silver jewelry will shine brighter the more you wear it, accompanying you through every important moment.

MixGene 混合基因品牌故事

台灣純手工製作
我們堅持使用傳統的失蠟鑄造技術，每一件作品都是在台灣本地工作室中手工製作。從設計草圖到最終成品，每個步驟都注入了我們的心血和熱情。

自然與動物的靈感
MixGene 的設計靈感來自於大自然和動物世界。我們相信每個生命體都擁有獨特的"基因"，就像每件珠寶都應該有其獨特的故事和個性。

失蠟鑄造工藝
失蠟鑄造是一項古老而精湛的工藝技術。我們先用蠟雕刻出作品的原型，再通過複雜的鑄造過程將其轉化為金屬。這種方法讓我們能夠創造出細膩複雜的設計，保留每個細節的完美。

MixGene Brand Story

Handmade in Taiwan
We insist on using traditional lost-wax casting techniques, with each piece handcrafted in our local Taiwanese studio. From design sketches to final products, every step is infused with our dedication and passion.

Inspired by Nature and Animals
MixGene draws inspiration from nature and the animal kingdom. We believe every living being has unique "genes," just as every piece of jewelry should have its own story and personality.

Lost-Wax Casting Craft
Lost-wax casting is an ancient and exquisite craft technique. We first carve the prototype in wax, then transform it into metal through a complex casting process. This method allows us to create intricate designs while preserving every perfect detail.

Boutique Partnerships
We're delighted to partner with selected boutique stores, allowing more people to discover MixGene creations. Each partner is carefully chosen to ensure they share our commitment to quality and aesthetic vision.
