Want to know more about our butterfly jewelry? The rings in our collection are made of 925 Sterling Silver, an alloy composed of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals. A soft metal in its raw state, silver is thus made more consistent through this combination! Keeping its typical shine while providing a better wearable consistency, no wonder sterling silver is the most popular silver alloy among jewelers! In addition to its superb brilliance, silver has multiple virtues: it is one of the metals that is perfectly tolerated by our body. Even better, it is used in medicine for its bactericidal properties. Unlike copper or iron which tend to give off a strong odor when in contact with the epidermis, silver also has the property of not having an odor.
However, in the long run, silver tends to oxidize when in contact with air, but that’s nothing!!! The dark spots produced by oxing are easily removed! To keep your silver butterfly jewelry looking great, simply scrub it gently with a toothbrush and some toothpaste! You can also leave it to soak for the duration of an afternoon in white vinegar!
To finish, run it under water and dry it with a cloth.
So, in an effort to prevent the oxidative tendency of this beautiful metal, some of our jewelry has undergone a surface finish by electroplating. Most commonly with Rhodium or Platinum. These rarer elements than gold allow to protect the silver while being very close to its shine. But here again, some people will prefer pure 925 silver jewelry because they prefer the subtle shine of silver. Indeed, some people will choose slightly oxidized jewelry. When a tad aged, silver can be quite charming with its vintage look!
Darkened silver or shimmering silver, this metal will lend itself elegantly to a variety of looks!
