What is 925 Sterling Silver and why is it used?

Pure silver is very soft and malleable which makes it very difficult to make great designs. Therefore 925 Sterling Silver is used. The 925 means 92.5% of the metal is pure silver and the other 7.5% consists of other metal. This slight addition of another metal provides the silver with strength and durability, without affecting the beautiful appearance.

Real sterling silver jewellery will have markings such as “Ster,” “925” or “Sterling Silver” in a hidden area. If you do not see such a marking, be wary of it immediately.

Please note that all our Sterling Silver is nickel-free. This means that the metal is non-reactive (hypoallergenic) and ideal for people who have sensitive skin.

What is Stainless steel and why is it used?

Stainless steel jewellery is made of a chrome-containing steel alloy making it long-lasting and durable. Stainless steel is also known for its anti-corrosive properties.

What is Rhodium and why is it used for plating?

Rhodium is a rare and expensive metal. It is hypoallergenic, extremely lustrous, withstands corrosion and is highly durable. All these qualities make rhodium perfect for jewellery, however, due to the hardness and brittleness of the metal, as well as the exorbitant cost, it cannot be used in its pure form to make jewellery.

The only way rhodium is used in jewellery is to plate other metals such as gold, platinum, and silver.

All our sterling silver (unless stated otherwise) is plated with Rhodium to give the item anti-tarnish properties and a high sheen finish.

What is Cubic Zirconia (CZ) and why is it used?

Cubic Zirconia is a high-quality affordable gemstone and is the closest alternative to diamonds.

The gemstone is as brilliant and clear as a diamond and is often difficult to tell apart to the naked eye. It is almost as hard as diamond on the Mohs scale of hardness, CZ ranks at 8.5 and a diamond is a 10.
