What is sterling silver?
- Sterling silver is a metal alloy consisting of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy. Each factory uses its own special alloy blend for the 7.5% but it mostly consists of zinc and copper. According to the United States Federal Trade Commission ยง23.5.b.2, sterling silver can also be described as solid silver. Sterling silver is the expected standard for silver jewelry.
Are the sterling silver chains plated?
- We plate all our sterling silver chains with an anti-tarnish coating. This non-toxic hypoallergenic coating does not change the appearance or flexibility of the chain. All sterling silver products will tarnish over time. The anti-tarnish coating delays the tarnishing process. We recommend storing sterling silver in a sealed container, like a food-safe plastic bag.
How do I stop sterling silver from tarnishing?
- All sterling silver products will tarnish over time. The fight against tarnish needs to start immediately because it is easier to prevent or slow down the tarnishing process than it is to clean tarnished silver jewelry. We recommend storing sterling silver in sealed food-safe plastic bags with as little air inside as possible. For extra protection, you can add an anti-tarnishing strip inside the plastic bag. Two big threats to sterling silver are sulfur and chlorine. Many cheap plastic bags or jewelry boxes contain these elements, and they will turn silver black on contact. This discoloration is frustrating to remove.
