.925 Sterling Silver

 

.925 sterling silver is a classic and affordable option for permanent jewelry, offering beauty with everyday wearability.

  • 92.5% pure silver: Sterling silver is made of 92.5% real silver mixed with 7.5% other metals (usually copper) to add strength and durability.

  • May oxidize over time: Unlike gold, sterling silver can darken or dull when exposed to air, moisture, lotions, or chemicals—but with regular wear, it helps keep it shiny. The metal itself is not ruined, just requires maintenance.

  • Skin-friendly: It’s generally hypoallergenic and safe for most skin types.

  • Easy to maintain: Tarnish can be cleaned or polished, restoring its original shine.

.925 sterling silver permanent jewelry is a beautiful, budget-friendly choice that can last a long time with simple care. Perfect if you love the look of silver.

 

Everyday Care

  • Wearing it daily: Natural oils from your skin help slow tarnishing.

  • Avoid chemicals: Avoid lotions, perfumes, and hairspray directly on it. Certain pools, hot tubs and hot springs may make sterling silver tarnish faster due to the amount of sulfur in the water.

  • Keep it dry: Dry your jewelry after washing hands or showering.

  • Keep in mind that skin pH varies person to person. Some people are more acidic, others more neutral or alkaline. More acidic skin can cause sterling silver to tarnish faster.

Cleaning Sterling Silver

  • Gentle soap & water:
    Use warm water with mild dish soap and a soft cloth or toothbrush. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

  • Silver polishing cloth:
    A silver polishing cloth is the easiest way to remove light tarnish and restore shine.

  • Baking soda paste (occasional use):
    Mix baking soda with a little water, gently rub with a soft cloth, rinse, and dry. (Avoid overuse.)

With simple care, sterling silver can stay bright and beautiful for years.
