Information about our jewelry

  • 1. Sterling silver

    The highest quality silver jewelry is made from 925 sterling silver, which means it consists of at least 92.5% pure silver, often even more.

    All our products are made of 925 sterling silver and this is clearly stated in each product description. In addition, all our sterling silver 925 jewelry is stamped directly on the jewelry.

    If a product is silver plated, this is clearly stated in the description, so that you as a customer always know which metal you are buying from us.

  • 2. Silver plated

    Silver jewelry that is not labeled as sterling silver is silver plated. This means that the amount of silver does not reach 92.5%. However, the surface layer is made of real silver and this jewelry is just as beautiful as sterling silver and very affordable. Over time, the underlying metal (often copper or brass) under the silver plating can wear out and become visible. If you follow the care instructions and take care of your jewelry, you can delay the natural wear and tear and increase the lifespan of your jewelry.

  • 3. Stainless steel and titanium

    Jewelry made from steel and titanium is durable and long-lasting and often feels just as luxurious as real gold and silver jewelry. Steel jewelry is slightly darker in color than silver jewelry, but the difference is small. Jewelry made from stainless steel does not discolor because the steel does not oxidize. In other words, steel jewelry is very easy to care for and can withstand most things. Please note that we only sell jewelry in silver.
