What is sterling silver?
Sterling silver is an alloy made up of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. While pure silver is beautiful, it’s a bit too soft for everyday wear, so the added copper gives it extra strength without compromising its shiny, sleek look.
Why choose sterling silver?
Durable and Long-Lasting
Sterling silver is tough! It resists scratches and dents better than pure silver, making it perfect for rings, bracelets, and necklaces that you wear daily. And because it's less likely to bend or lose its shape, sterling silver pieces can last for years.
Hypoallergenic
If you’ve ever had issues with skin sensitivity to jewellery, sterling silver is a great choice. It’s naturally hypoallergenic and generally safe for sensitive skin, though it's always good to check that the pieces are nickel-free if you're extra sensitive.
Affordable Elegance
Sterling silver is the perfect balance of quality and price. It offers a luxurious, timeless look without the high price tag of gold or platinum. Whether you're buying a statement piece or a dainty ring, you’ll get incredible value for your money.
Easy to Care For
Sterling silver can tarnish over time, especially when exposed to air and moisture. But don't worry! A little cleaning and polishing can bring it right back to life, restoring that beautiful shine.
