Butterfly Necklace
Gem (Silver) Jewelry

Focus on our silver butterfly jewelry collection! Our jewelry is composed of 925 Sterling Silver, an alloy of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals. Soft metal in its pure state, silver is thus made stronger with this association! Retaining all its character while giving it a better consistency that can be worked, it’s no wonder sterling silver is the most popular silver alloy among jewelers! In addition to its superb brilliance, silver has a number of virtues: it is safe for the skin. Even better, it is used for curative purposes for its purifying properties. Unlike copper or iron, which tend to give off a strong odor when in contact with the skin, silver also has the specificity of not having an odor.

However, in the long run, silver ends up oxidizing in contact with the air, but this is far from sounding the end of your jewelry! The dark marks generated by this natural phenomenon are easily removed!  To keep your silver butterfly jewelry looking its best, simply brush it carefully with a toothbrush and a little toothpaste! You can also let it soak overnight in a glass of beer!

So, in an effort to parry the oxidation of this precious metal, some of our jewelry has been plated with rhodium or platinum. These elements, which are sometimes more expensive than gold, help prevent oxidation while still being very close to its brilliance. But here again, some people prefer jewelry without plating because they find the brilliance of platinum and rhodium too white. Indeed, some people will choose slightly oxidized jewelry. When a tad aged, silver is far from being devoid of personality! 

In aged or in like-new fashion, taste and color are not up for debate!
