Butterfly Earrings
Nature Sauvage (Silver) Jewelry

Did you know? Our jewelry is made of 925 Sterling Silver, an alloy composed of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals. Silver is a ductile metal in its raw state and is thus made more solid by this association! Retaining all of its brilliance while providing a more wearable consistency, it’s no wonder sterling silver is the most popular silver alloy among jewelers! In addition to its natural beauty, silver reveals multiple virtues: it is one of the metals that is safe for the skin. Even better, it is used for medical purposes for its purifying qualities. Unlike copper or iron, which tend to emit a strong odor when in contact with the epidermis, silver also has the particularity of being odorless.

However, over the long term, silver tends to whiten and then darken when in contact with oxygen, but no worries! The blackish stains produced by this natural phenomenon are very easy to remove!  To keep your silver butterfly jewelry looking like new, simply brush it gently with a toothbrush and some toothpaste! You can also let it soak overnight in a bowl of beer!To finish, run it under water and dry it with a cloth.

So, in order to prevent the oxidative tendency of silver, some of our jewelry has been plated with rhodium or platinum. These very precious elements prevent oxidation while enhancing its brilliance. Despite this, some people prefer pure sterling silver jewelry because they prefer the special shine of silver. Indeed, some people will turn to slightly oxidized jewelry. When slightly darkened, silver is far from being devoid of charm! 

In retro or sparkling mode, beauty exists in the eyes of the beholder!
