Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q. What is Rhodium plating and how do I care for it?

 

A. Rhodium, a member of the platinum family, is a precious metal. Because it is silvery white and highly reflective it is often used to plate jewelry.

 

Do not clean your rhodium plated jewellery in chemical cleaners such as jewellery dips. Some sonic jewelry cleaners also use chemicals. It can wear the rhodium plating off.

Use warm water and mild detergent

 

Q. What is '925' silver and how do I care for it?

 

A. Silver possesses working qualities similar to gold but can achieve the most brilliant polish of any metal. To make it durable for jewellery, however, pure silver (999 fineness) is often alloyed with small quantities of copper. In many countries, Sterling Silver 925 (92.5% silver, 7.5% copper) is the standard for jewellery and has been since the 14th century.

The copper toughens the silver and makes it possible to use silver 925 for decorative and fashionable jewellery.

 

Today's most creative and innovative designers are attracted to sterling due to its low price and the fact that it's so soft and malleable, silver can be shaped into infinite forms. Unlike costume jewellery, sterling silver endures and can be enjoyed for a lifetime, and is more affordable than other precious metals.

To be assured you're buying the real thing, always look for the stamp, '925.'

With today's anti-tarnishing products, caring for sterling silver jewellery is simpler than ever.
