Sterling Silver has been used in jewelry making for
thousands of years. Known for its affordability, ease of use, and trend-setting
styles, silver has become widely used in today's marketplace. Silver by
itself is very soft therefore, .925 Sterling Silver is composed of 92.5%
silver and the other 7.5% is made up with copper, zinc or nickel. This
additional percentage of metal gives Sterling Silver the durability
required for jewelry, without compromising its beautiful white luster.
Beautiful and durable, your Sterling Silver jewelry may
tarnish with time. This is not uncommon and is not a permanent change.
Tarnishing is a natural process which occurs when slight impurities in the
silver react to the air. Tarnish can be easily removed with a polishing
cloth or by using silver jewelry polish.
