925 Sterling Silver Jewelry

Silver is a precious metal considered pure at 999/1000. In this state, it is too soft to be made into jewelry. Therefore, jewelers work with Sterling Silver, also known as 925 silver (92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper), to add more rigidity to the piece. Additionally, silver is more malleable and fragile than gold or platinum.

Silver tarnishes (darkens) when exposed to moisture, but this does not mean that the jewelry is of poor quality. Keep in mind that depending on each person's skin pH, silver may react differently. It’s simply a normal chemical reaction that can be remedied with proper care.

Gold-Plated Brass Jewelry (Three Microns)

Les Gold-plated brass jewelry (three microns) consists of brass (an alloy of copper and zinc) coated with a thin layer of gold three microns thick. This plating technique gives the jewelry the appearance and shine of gold while being more affordable than solid gold jewelry. The three-micron plating ensures greater durability compared to thinner platings, meaning that the jewelry is more resistant to daily wear.

24-Carat Fine Gold Gilded Brass Jewelry

Les 24k fine gold gilded brass jewelry has an extremely thin layer of gold (often well under three microns) applied to a brass or other metal base. Although 24k gold is the purest (99.9% gold), the thinness of the layer means it is more prone to wear. Therefore, these pieces require more attention to the recommendations mentioned earlier. 

Tips for Taking Care of Your Jewelry

  1. 1. Avoid contact with water. Remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, or washing dishes. Water, especially saltwater and chlorinated water, can damage the plating.
  2. 2. Avoid chemicals like perfumes, lotions, cleaning products, and other substances that can tarnish or damage the surface of the jewelry. Apply your perfume and beauty products and allow them to dry completely before putting on your jewelry.
  3. 3. When you're not wearing your jewelry, store it properly in a fabric-lined jewelry box or a soft fabric pouch to avoid scratches and friction with other pieces.
  4. 4. Regularly clean your jewelry with care using a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a microfiber or polishing cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners and hard brushes that could cause damage.
  5. 5. Remove your jewelry before engaging in sports or intense physical activities that might expose it to impacts or excessive sweat.

By following these tips, you can maintain the beauty and shine of your jewelry for as long as possible.
