HERE’S EVERYTHING YOU’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT SILVER!
1. WHAT IS SILVER?
• SILVER is a soft white metallic element and is considered as one of the most useful and beautiful objects of the world. Silver jewelry ranks next to gold. Thus, it is known today as “JEWELRY OF THE MILLENNIUM”.
2. WHAT IS STERLING SILVER?
• STERLING SILVER means high quality or genuine. Sterling silver contains 9
2.5% silver and thus is the only silver allowed by International Law to be named sterling silver.
3. WHY 92.5% SILVER NOT PURE 99.9% SILVER?
• STERLING SILVER contains 92.5% only because 99.9% pure silver would be too soft to stand up under constant wear. So, it is mixed with 7.5 copper to form an alloy before it is made into commercial articles. You can be sure that all jewelries offered by 92.5% ITALY SILVER JEWELRY are guaranteed 92.5% sterling silver.
4. IS SILVER HYPO-ALLERGENIC?
• Yes, 92.5% ITALY SILVER JEWELRY, produces sterling silver jewelries that won’t irritate your skin. Other silver jewelries contains nickel or are made from old coins which are 75% silver only. These kinds are allergenic and cannot easily be determined unless the item is ASSAY TESTED. Some would simply put a mark of 92.5% to mislead you, so beware! Here at 92.5% ITALY SILVER JEWELRY, we guarantee you of our silver jewelries high quality.
5. WILL THE COLOR OF SILVER JEWELRY TARNISH?
• STERLING SILVER remains as beautiful as it is for lifetime. However, since your jewelry is exposed to air and pollution, it will become antique looking or will lack luster. Thus, it is necessary to clean silver properly by either using metal polish for plain works or little baking soda+boil to hot water for plain and filigree works. You can use any kind of silver liquid cleaner available at our shop.
