Butterfly Earrings
Vintage Flower (Silver) Jewelry

For dazzling butterfly jewelry, learn more about the silver in our collection! 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper or zinc is the magic recipe for sterling silver! Silver is a soft metal in its raw state and is thus made more consistent by this combination! Retaining all its character while providing excellent hold, no wonder 925 silver is the most appreciated alloy among silver fans! In addition to its much appreciated shine, silver has several other qualities: it is a metal that is safe for the skin. It is also used for medical purposes for its anti-microbial properties. Unlike copper or iron which tend to produce an unpleasant odor when in contact with the epidermis, silver also has the particularity of not having an odor.

However, over the long term, silver tends to oxidize when in contact with oxygen, but no worries! The dark deposits linked to this natural phenomenon are very easy to remove!  To maintain a silver butterfly jewel, simply scrub it carefully with a toothbrush soaked in lemon! You can also let it soak for 10 hours in a bowl of beer!To finish, run it under water and dry it with a cloth.

Besides, in order to prevent the oxidation of silver, some of our jewelry is coated with a layer of rhodium or platinum. These elements, which are rarer than gold, help to protect the silver while mimicking its shine. Nevertheless, some people prefer pure sterling silver jewelry because they prefer the particular shine of silver. Indeed, oxidized silver jewelry is an aesthetic in its own right! When slightly aged, silver is far from being devoid of style! 

Aged style or ultra shiny style, silver lends itself to everything!
