At Jewelry and More Auctions, we spend a lot of time obsessing over the clarity of a diamond or the mint condition of a commemorative coin. But there is one type of "clarity" that often goes overlooked until it’s too late: the clarity of the air you breathe while you’re admiring your collection.
Through our "America Breathe Freely" campaign, we are bridging the gap between high-end collecting and high-tech living. You might wonder what NASA-certified air purification has to do with a 20-inch Sterling Silver rope chain or a rare "Rainbow Ring." The answer lies in the environment. Whether you are preserving precious metals or protecting your family’s health, the science of the air matters.
From the International Space Station to Your Living Room
The story of ActivePure technology doesn’t begin in a factory; it begins in orbit. Back in the 1990s, NASA scientists faced a significant problem: ethylene gas. On the International Space Station (ISS), plants release ethylene, which can cause them to over-ripen and decay in the closed environment. To solve this, NASA researchers at the Wisconsin Center for Space Automation and Robotics developed a way to scrub the air using photocatalytic oxidation.
This wasn't just a fancy filter. It was a proactive system that created "ActivePure Molecules": an army of microscopic oxidizers: to hunt down and neutralize contaminants. In 2017, this technology was so revolutionary that it was inducted into the Space Technology Hall of Fame.

The Science of ActivePure: How It Actually Works
Most air purifiers are "passive." They sit in a corner like a shy guest at a party, waiting for dust and pathogens to wander into their filters. If a virus or a dust particle doesn't get sucked into the machine, it stays in your room.
ActivePure technology, featured in the America Breathe Freely initiative, is "active." It doesn't wait; it seeks. Here is the breakdown of the science:
- The Matrix: Air passes through a patented honeycomb matrix coated with a special formula.
- The Reaction: When ultraviolet light hits the matrix, it creates powerful oxidizers and hydroxyls.
- The Mission: These molecules are propelled back into the room. They collide with viruses, bacteria, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the air and on surfaces, breaking them down into harmless components.
Testing at the University of Texas Medical Branch showed that this technology can eliminate over 99.9% of airborne SARS-CoV-2 within just three minutes. For collectors, this means fewer airborne contaminants that can lead to the oxidation of metals or the accumulation of grime on delicate jewelry settings.
Why Collectors and Families Need "Space-Certified" Air
You’ve spent years hunting for the perfect piece at Jewelry and More Auctions. You’ve bid on the Purple Cat Gemstone Ring and won. But did you know that indoor air can be five times more polluted than outdoor air?
Dust isn't just an eyesore; it’s a collection of skin cells, fabric fibers, and microscopic debris that can settle into the intricate links of a Sterling Silver Rope Chain. By utilizing the same technology that keeps the ISS safe, you are creating a "clean room" environment for your valuables and your loved ones.

Wellness Tips for a Cleaner Home
While ActivePure does the heavy lifting, here are a few expert tips to keep your air: and your jewelry: pristine:
- Humidity Control: High humidity can tarnish silver faster. Aim for 35-45% humidity.
- Surface Defense: Use ActivePure to treat surfaces, reducing the need for harsh chemical cleaners that can damage gemstone finishes.
- Ventilation: Even with high-tech purification, a quick blast of fresh air once a day helps maintain a healthy oxygen balance.
