- Sterling Silver Care Guide
- Our Guide to caring for your silver jewellery
- Why are the pieces of jewellery you sell made with Sterling Silver and not Silver?
- Sterling Silver is 92.5% Silver, while the other 7.5% is an alloy.
Sterling Silver is also known as 925, look for that hallmark on all Sterling Silver.
- Argh! I've got black marks on my Sterling Silver jewellery. What's wrong with it?
- As you can't keep our jewellery in airtight containers all the time - you might want to wear it -, chemical reactions can occur. The black marks are simply oxidisation caused by a chemical reaction of that 7.5% of alloy found in your jewellery. The black marks will wear off it you continue wearing your jewellery but you can always give your jewellery a clean.
- How do I clean my Sterling Silver jewellery??
- The easiest way is to give it a rub with a Silver polishing cloth. Oh and a good clean with an old toothbrush and warm soapy water can do wonders for gemstones.
