Butterfly Earrings
Octopus (Silver) Jewelry

To get the most out of our butterfly jewelry, learn more about the silver in our collection! Our line is made up of 925 Sterling Silver, an alloy born from the combination of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper or zinc. Silver is soft in its raw state and is thus made more consistent in alloy! Retaining all of its personality while providing a better wearable consistency, it’s no wonder 925 silver is the most popular silver alloy in jewelry! In addition to its superb brilliance, silver has many qualities: it is one of the metals that is perfectly tolerated by our body. It is also used for medical purposes for its purifying qualities. Unlike copper or iron, which can give off a metallic odor when in contact with the epidermis, silver also has the particularity of not having an odor.

However, silver is naturally sensitive to air, but no worries! The dark deposits produced by oxidation can be removed with ease!  To keep your silver butterfly jewelry looking great, simply clean it lightly with a damp toothbrush sprinkled with baking soda! Another technique: soak it in white vinegar for a morning. Then simply rinse it with clean water and rub it with a soft cloth.

Besides, in an effort to parry the oxidative tendency of silver, some of our jewelry is protected by a plating of platinum or rhodium. These rarer elements than gold help prevent oxidation while still being very close to its brilliance. But then again, some people will prefer pure sterling silver jewelry because they prefer the more “gray” luster of silver. Indeed, oxidized silver jewelry is a fashion statement in its own right! When subtly darkened, silver is far from being devoid of charm! 

Darkened style or sparkling style, tastes and colors are not up for debate!
