Butterfly Ring
Blue Enamel (Silver) Jewelry

For consistently sublime butterfly jewelry, learn more about the silver in our collection!  Our line is made of 925 Sterling Silver, an alloy composed of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper or zinc. A soft metal in its pure state, silver is thus made more consistent by this meeting! Keeping all its shine intact while providing a better consistency that can be worked, no wonder 925 silver is the most common silver alloy among silver fans! In addition to its natural beauty, silver has multiple virtues: it is one of the hypoallergenic metals. It is also used for medical purposes for its anti-microbial qualities. Unlike copper or iron which can give off a metallic odor when in contact with the skin, silver also has the specificity of not having an odor.

On the other hand, over the long term, silver tends to whiten and then darken in contact with the air, but don’t panic! The black deposits resulting from oxidation are very easy to remove!  To keep your silver butterfly jewelry looking like new, simply scrub it thoroughly with a lemon-soaked toothbrush! You can also leave it to soak for 120 minutes in white vinegar!

So, to prevent the phenomenon of darkening of silver, some of our jewelry is protected by a plating of platinum or rhodium. These very precious elements help to protect the silver while enhancing its brilliance. Even so, some people will prefer pure sterling silver jewelry because they find the brilliance of platinum and rhodium too intense. Indeed, some people will turn to lightly oxidized jewelry. When slightly darkened, silver can be quite charming with its retro feel! 

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