Learn About Sterling Silver
Sterling Silver
Since ancient time silver has been associated with the moon and purity because of its glowing gray color. Sterling Silver is harder than regular silver jewelry because it is alloyed with copper- a stronger metal. This means that Sterling Silver jewelry will last longer and be harder to break than regular silver.
Sterling Silver, at 92.5% Silver and 7.5% copper, also resists tarnish much better than regular silver so the piece will stay cleaner and shinier longer. Sterling Silver is used in many of today’s modern looks and is a high impact jewelry statement for a fraction of the cost of white gold or platinum. Silver keeps its low price because 80% of it is actually acquired when mining for other metals.
Rhodium (the material that makes white gold white) is also often used on Day’s Sterling Silver to give an extra layer of protection against tarnish and scratching. This layer of rhodium also helps people who have mild silver or copper allergies avoid negative reactions because it protects the skin from the silver and copper.
Sterling Silver Care and Necklace Sizing
Sterling Silver Care:
Sterling Silver Care:
1.
Remove your sterling jewelry before washing dishes, swimming or using any product that contains bleach, ammonia, alcohol, turpentine and fingernail polish removers that contain acetone.
These items could cause a breakdown in the metal alloys leaving your silver jewelry beyond repair, dull or pit the surface of the gemstones. Avoid using strong chemicals, spraying hairspray, or putting on makeup etc. while wearing your jewelry. Put jewelry on after using hairspray and putting on makeup.
2.
Clean before storing and store properly.
Sterling silver stored in the open air and humidity for extended periods of time can cause it to tarnish quickly. Tarnish first appears as a golden hue then quickly turns to black. This process is normal and is caused by oxidization, moisture and sunshine. Store silver jewelry in an air-tight protective bag made of tarnish proof cloth or a plastic zip- lock bag made of Mylar (turkey cooking bags) or polyethylene. But, beware some plastic contains sulfur compounds which can cause your jewelry to tarnish faster or stain, so do not use polyvinyl plastic bags. Avoid storing directly on wood surfaces, and do not place in a card board box or on paper as they contain sulfur producing compounds that increase the rate of oxidation.
3. Keep tarnish to a minimum by storing properly and cleaning before it becomes overly tarnished. Follow the recommend cleaning methods below.
4.
Jewelry is meant to be worn. Your body oils will slow the tarnishing process. Touch your silver jewelry a lot. This may sound funny, but you won't have to clean it as often and remember, using a cleaning and polishing cloth just takes a few minutes.
5. Sterling silver jewelry is scratch resistant but it isn't scratch proof, so you should store your jewelry so that it isn't rubbing up against other articles.
6. Clean your sterling silver jewelry with a soft 100% cotton cloth (nub free), flannel cloth, special sterling silver cleaning cloth or very soft bristle brush, (i.e. a babies tooth brush or a horsehair silver brush) and gently rub off any excess makeup or dirt. Remember silver is a very soft metal and can be scratched so don't rub it too briskly. Do not use paper, polyester, or coarse fabrics as they often contain wood fibers or synthetics that can cause tiny scratches on sterling silver jewelry. Dirt left from previous cleanings may also scratch your jewelry.
7. Light dirt, fingerprints or makeup can be removed by using a small amount of mild liquid detergent to 1/2 cup of warm water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. If your jewelry contains gemstones be careful as a cleanser that is too harsh could damage the polish on stones. Dry the jewelry completely before storing in an air tight zip lock bag. Sterling silver jewelry can also be cleaned with little effort using a polishing cloth. After polishing it buff with a soft cotton cloth (i.e. old diaper or cotton t-shirt).
8. If the jewelry is heavily tarnished and needs more cleaning than a polishing cloth can provide, use a silver paste, liquid cleaner or a silver polish spray.
9. Rub with a lengthwise motion, as a circular motion may cause scratches. Don't feel that you have to get every bit of tarnish from lines and crevices. Some choose to leave tarnish in the deep crevices to enhance the look of the piece. Leaving some of the tarnish in hard to reach areas just adds definition and an antique look. If you want to remove tarnish in hard to reach areas, use a very soft brush, like a child's tooth brush, a jewelry horse hair silver brush, or a mushroom brush. A mushroom brush can be found at most grocery stores. After cleaning with a silver polish, use a clean cloth to remove any residual cleaner from your jewelry. After using the paste, the liquid or the polishing cloth make sure all trace of the polish has been removed from gemstones and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
