FAQ

Are your items real silver?
Yes, our items are .925 sterling silver, some products are silver 925 with a rhodium finish. Rhodium plating is a special process that gives silver jewelry a more vibrant, deeper look and makes it appear brighter, richer and more lustrous.

What is Sterling Silver?

Silver is a precious metal and, much like gold, is too fine to be utilized in a 100% pure form. To make it durable enough for use in jewelry, pure silver, which has a .999 fineness (99.9%), is often alloyed with small quantities of copper (7.5%). The copper is added to strengthen the silver and the resulting product is .925 sterling silver (92.5%). This alloy is strong enough to be used in jewelry.

How do I clean my silver jewelry?
We recommend using a silver polishing cloth .

Why is my silver .925 jewelry turning grey, black or brown?

Tarnish is a natural reaction of silver metal and the oxygen we breathe.

The copper reacts to moisture and sulfur in the air, causing the sterling silver tarnish. Silver tarnishes faster in areas with high humidity and air pollution. Chemicals like hairspray, perfume, deodorant, body lotion, bleach, etc., can speed up the tarnishing process.

Consider sealing your sterling silver jewelry in airtight bags to fight humidity and oxidation. 

Be sure to take your rings off when doing things that involve strong heat and sunlight, harsh chemicals, water, and sweat.
