How To Care For Sterling Silver Jewelry
Want a more affordable jewelry? Choose silver over platinum or gold. You can find top quality sterling crafted into a variety of stylesand its not just affordableits beautiful as well! Sterling silver is a natural material with long lasting appeal, and looks great on its own, or when mixed with gemstones or beads.
Sterling silver is 92.5% silver mixed generally includes copper while the other 7.5% of the composition. Sterling silver is sold by weight and there is no such thing as better silver or higher quality silver. All silvers that are 92.5% are the same in quality.
The difference in price from one piece and another that weigh the same amount is the type of work done on it. Usually handmade pieces are more expensive than machine made pieces. They are also more exclusive, a machine made piece is made by the thousands but one handmade piece can never be the same as another.
When the piece includes a stone of some kind the price will also vary according to the price of the stone. When it is only sterling silver the difference in price will come from the way it was manufactured and the details it has. Silver is a very mallable metal and beautiful jewelry is created from it. Silver jewelry may be purchased by its weight in silver plus a small percentage for labor.
When you buy sterling silver jewelry and silver jewelry sets it is very shiny and smooth. People like that because it shines more than gold or platinum. With time it will begin to lose its shine and tarnish will appear. This is the result of the metal alloy added to the silver. If the copper comes in contact with air and sweat it will have a tendency to change color. However, many people choose to have their silver jewelry tarnished to give it an antique look.
Silver must always be wiped with a polishing cloth, not a brush or an abrasive cleaner that will scratch the surface. The occasional use of special silver cleaners is acceptable, but these should not be used often to maintain your piece. These types of cleaners are abrasive, and the shine they leave comes from rubbing of the patina or top layer of silver on your piece.
If silver jewelry is cleaned and polished regularly, it will remain beautifully shiny for quite some time. It is best not to use abrasive cleaners unless you have alot of tarnish on your jewelry.
Silver jewelry should be kept in a cool location and stored in separate containers. This will prevent them from scratching one another and from being scratched by other jewelry. Taking care of silver jewelry is easy and inexpensive. With proper care and polishing of your jewelry, you will be able to enjoy it for many, many years.
