Butterfly Earrings
Tropical Flower (Silver) Jewelry

To get the most out of our butterfly jewelry, learn more about the silver in our collection! Our jewelry is made of 925 Sterling Silver, an alloy born from the meeting of 92.5% silver with 7.5% other metals. Soft metal in its pure state, silver is made stronger with this association! Retaining its brilliance while providing a better consistency that can be worked, it’s not surprising that 925 silver is the most popular silver alloy among jewelers! In addition to its natural beauty, silver reveals several qualities: it is a metal that is perfectly tolerated by our body. Surprisingly, it is used in medicine for its purifying qualities. Unlike copper and iron, which tend to emit an unpleasant odor upon contact with the skin, silver also possesses the particularity of being odorless.

On the other hand, silver is naturally sensitive to oxygen, but no worries! The blackish stains produced by this natural reaction of silver are very easily removed!  To keep your silver butterfly jewelry looking like new, simply scrub it thoroughly with a toothbrush and some toothpaste! You can also leave it to soak for 10 hours in a bowl of beer! Then just rinse it with clean water and rub it with a soft cloth.

So, to prevent oxidation of silver, some of our jewelry has undergone a surface finish by electroplating. Most commonly with Rhodium or Platinum. These very precious metals allow to protect the silver while being very close to its shine. Nevertheless, some people prefer pure 925 silver jewelry because they find the brilliance of platinum and rhodium too intense. Indeed, oxidized silver jewelry is an aesthetic in its own right! When a tad aged, silver is far from being devoid of elegance! 

Oxidized silver or sparkling silver, take your pick!
