Silver plating is electroplated with 100% pure silver. Sterling silver is 92.5% silver and the remainder can be any metal. Silver plating puts 100% pure silver against your skin!

Lab opal is not synthetic. It is grown for over a year and has a structure very similar to natural precious opals. Lab opals have significant advantages over naturally occurring opals. The first is cost, precious opals are rare and expensive. In addition, lab opals do not contain water (natural opals do) and are not prone to cracking. Lastly, the color of lab opal is stable.

From time to time people ask, “How do I know this piece comes from Taxco, Mexico?” For many years, I have traveled to Taxco, Mexico to buy jewelry for Silver Dream. I personally select each and every piece.This set is from Taxco and is silver plated.
