A Note About Sterling Silver

If an item is noted Sterling Silver, or .925 Silver it means it is composed genuine .925 Sterling Silver. It is not plated. If the item is sterling silver plated, it will be clearly mentioned in the title and item specifics.

Sterling silver (.925 or 92.5% pure silver) may show light tarnish from exposure to air. Tarnish is not soil or a defect, but is a naturally occurring oxidation process that takes place when silver is exposed to air. Clean your sterling gently with any of the well-known silver cleaning cloths but we do not recommend dips.

Some modern sterling silver jewelry may have the added benefit of being tarnish-resistant. Although no 925 sterling silver will be completely tarnish-free, a rhodium finish does make the sterling more tarnish-resistant. Rhodium is a part of the platinum family of metals. A rhodium finish is used over sterling silver to toughen it up and add resistance against daily wear and tear. It also adds a high-quality, long-lasting, tarnish-resistant shine. When it is used as a finish over sterling silver, the sterling must first be coated with nickel, making the 925 sterling silver piece slightly magnetic. It is still 92.5% sterling silver. (.925)
