S925 Sterling Silver Plated

What is S925 Sterling Silver? S925 Sterling Silver is made out of 92.5% by weight pure 99.9% Sterling Silver and is blended or alloyed with 7.5% by weight of other metals usually copper, nickel or zinc. Because 99.9% Pure Sterling Silver is a relatively SOFT metal it has to be alloyed to increase its Hardness and Strength for jewelry, and it also keeps the Sterling Silver from Oxidizing or Tarnishing. There is NO difference between the term “92.5”, “925”, “.925”, “S925”, “Sterling”, “ss”, “ster”, “Sterling Silver”, and “S925 Sterling Silver” they all mean the same thing. True sterling silver jewelry has a Silver STAMP and is absolutely Real Sterling Silver Jewelry that identifies the percentage of Pure Silver that's found in the piece (925, .925, S925, SS, or 92.5 etc. will be Stamped somewhere on the piece of jewelry). Silver-plated jewelry will NOT have a Sterling Silver Stamp. However, NOT all 100% Real Sterling Silver Jewelry is Stamped. American Sterling Silver is always marked Sterling or S925, or 925 and is 92.5% Pure Silver.

Cubic Zirconia (CZ): Is the Cubic Crystalline form of Zirconium Dioxide (ZrO₂). This synthesized material is almost as hard as a Real Diamond. A Cubic Zirconia has a rating of approximately 8.5 on Mohs’ Diamond Hardness Scale vs. a rating of 10 for a Real Diamond; a CZ is Optically Flawless and Colorless where a Real Diamond is rarely Flawless or Colorless. By comparison, a Cubic Zirconia is entirely Colorless: equivalent to a perfect "D" on a Real Diamond Color Grading Scale. Cubic Zirconia have NO Interior Inclusions or Surface Inclusions like a Real Diamond might have. Because of their low cost, durability, and close visual likeness to a Real Diamond, synthetic Cubic Zirconia has remained the most geologically and economically important competitor to Real Diamonds since commercial production began in 1976. When a Real Diamond and a Cubic Zirconia are shown to a customer side-by-side for the very first time most people picked the Cubic Zirconia thinking it’s the Real Diamond because a Cubic Zirconia has a much Higher Brilliance and Reflective Quality than that of a Real Diamond. A Diamonds reflectivity is 0.044 while a CZ’s reflectivity is 0.066. Also, a Cubic Zirconia is currently on average 295% cheaper than the cost of a Real Diamond and finally, our Cubic Zirconias are actually mounted on some of the same bands that our Real Diamonds are set in.

Grading Scale: It’s a common misconception that all CZ Stones are the same. Just like Diamonds, there are a number of Quality Levels, and there are a range of Price Points for these beautiful look-a-likes. CZ stones are graded AB, A+, AA+, AAA+, AAAA+, and AAAAA+. Let’s take a closer look at the main grades… The two grades The Callista Company sells are.

AAA+ Grade Stones (3A+): Cubic Zirconia that are rated AAA+ are usually more highly polished than A+ Grade stones. They tend to have more Luster, Shine, and Brilliance. They have 57 Facets just like a Real Diamond. To create the most reasonably priced jewelry these stones are usually set in Solid S925 Sterling Silver, Yellow Gold Plated, White Gold Plated, Rose Gold Plated, or Platinum Plated Bands. AAA+ CZ’s are the most popular grade of stone on the market today, because they offer Great Quality and are the most Affordable of all man made stones and a AAA+ CZ looks just like a Real Diamond and wears just like a Real Diamond without the Real Diamond Price.

AAAAA+ Grade Stones (5A+): These stones are the top of the line. They are crafted by the best stonecutters and are polished just like any top rated Diamond would be. These stones are remarkably similar in appearance to Diamonds and are set in the same type of mountings as their Diamond counterparts; it is virtually impossible to tell them apart. When a Real Diamond and a Cubic Zirconia are shown to a customer side-by-side for the very first time most people pick the Cubic Zirconia thinking it’s the Real Diamond because Cubic Zirconia have a much Higher Brilliance and Reflective Quality than that of a Real Diamond. These pieces are the Highest Quality, yet Most Affordable, choices for a shopper looking for a stunning piece jewelry without the stunning Diamond Price. Even jewelers have a hard time telling them apart and must use a Diamond Tester to figure out which one is the Real Diamond and which one is the AAAAA+ CZ.

Cubic Zirconia & Carat Weight: For diamonds, carat weight refers to how heavy a diamond is. However, a CZ is denser and heavier than a diamond, which makes the two stones impossible to compare side-by-side by weight. How we determine a CZ’s carat weight relative to a diamond is by comparing the millimeter dimensions of a diamond to that of a CZ to get a relative CZ carat weight. For example, a one-carat CZ has the same dimensions as a one-carat diamond.

Jewelry Care: Just common sense, do NOT wear your jewelry when taking a shower, washing dishes, or swimming in a pool (to avoid damaging chemicals), digging in your garden, or exercising at the gym. When in doubt just take your jewelry off, and store in a clean dry place.

Jewelry Cleaning: The best homemade jewelry cleaning solution is a mixture of a few drops of DAWN dish detergent in warm, NOT hot, water. Let the jewelry sit in the solution for a few minutes, longer if it's very dirty, then gently scrub with a Brand New, Baby-Sized, VERY SOFT Bristle Toothbrush, rinse, pat dry with a soft towel.
