Butterfly Ring
Enamel Summer Flower (Silver) Jewelry

For vibrant butterfly jewelry, learn more about the silver in our collection!  Our jewelry is composed of 925 Sterling Silver: a combination of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals. A soft metal by nature, silver becomes stronger with this combination! Retaining all its panache while providing a better consistency that can be worked, it’s no surprise that 925 Sterling Silver is the most popular silver alloy among jewelers! In addition to its intense brilliance, silver reveals multiple qualities: it is one of the metals perfectly tolerated by our body. Surprisingly, it is used for medical purposes for its bactericidal qualities. Unlike copper and iron, which can give off a metallic odor when in contact with the epidermis, silver also possesses the property of being odorless.

However, silver is naturally sensitive to air, but that’s far from sounding the end of your jewelry! The dark areas associated with oxidation are very easy to remove!  Here are some simple secrets to maintaining your silver butterfly jewelry: you can simply scrub it thoroughly with a toothbrush and lemon juice! Another technique: put it to soak in white vinegar for 2 hours A small passage under water and drying with a soft cloth will finish the job!

So, in order to prevent oxidation of this splendid metal, some of our jewelry is protected by a layer of platinum or rhodium. These very precious elements help to protect the silver while mimicking its brilliance. Even so, some people will prefer jewelry without plating because they prefer the subtle shine of silver. Indeed, some people will turn to slightly oxidized jewelry. When subtly oxidized, silver can be quite charming with its retro feel! 

Darkened or ultra shiny, it’s a matter of taste!
