How to care for 925 Sterling Silver and why it is better than brass

  1. 925 Sterling Silver is less reactive than brass:

    • Brass, often made from large amounts of copper and zinc, can react with moisture and body chemistry, potentially leading to skin discoloration (the dreaded green stain). Sterling silver, especially when properly cared for, does not have this issue.
  2. Longevity:

    • 925 Sterling silver retains its quality over time.
      Brass may tarnish, corrode, or wear down more quickly, leading to a less desirable appearance.
  3. Value:

    • 925 Sterling silver holds more intrinsic value than brass, making it a more worthwhile investment for jewelry that can last a lifetime.

Gold-Plated Over 925 Sterling Silver

  1. Beautiful Finish:

    • Gold plating over sterling silver gives the jewelry a luxurious look while maintaining the durability of the base metal.
  2. Water Resistance:

    • While our gold-plated pieces are water-resistant, it's essential to protect them from harsh chemicals to prevent damage to the plating.
  3. Care Tips:

    • If your jewelry comes into contact with strong chemicals (like certain perfumes or cleaning agents), gently wash it with dish soap and pat it dry to maintain the integrity of the gold plating.
