How To Select 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 usually with copper which equals the remaining 7.5% of the composition. Silver is sold by weight and there is no such thing as purer silver or better 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. Handmade silver jewelry is more expensive than machine made silver jewelry. 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.

If the jewelry includes a gemstone, the price will vary based on the type of stone. Sterling silver only differentiation in price is due to the way it is manufactured. Silver is a very mallable metal and beautiful jewelry is created from it. Usually a silver piece can be bought 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. Silver is much shinier 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. When the copper comes in contact with the air and sweat it tends 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. Abrasive cleaners should only be used in case of an emergency or excessive tarnish.

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. Proper care will keep them shiny and scratch free for many, many years.
