Butterfly Ring
Milles Eclats (Silver) Jewelry

Our collection is made of 925 Sterling Silver, an alloy of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals. A ductile metal in its raw state, silver becomes easier to work with thanks to this combination! Retaining all of its personality while providing excellent hold, it’s no wonder sterling silver is the most popular silver alloy in jewelry! In addition to its superb brilliance, silver has a number of virtues: it is a metal that is perfectly tolerated by our bodies. But it does not stop there, it is used for medical purposes for its bactericidal qualities. Unlike copper and iron which tend to give off an unpleasant odor when in contact with the skin, silver also has the particularity of not having an odor.

On the other hand, silver is naturally sensitive to oxidation, but this is far from sounding the end of your jewelry! The black deposits resulting from this natural phenomenon are easily removed!  To keep the beauty of your silver butterfly jewelry, you can simply brush it gently with a damp toothbrush sprinkled with baking soda! Another tip: put it to soak in white vinegar for an afternoonAfter that, all you have to do is rinse it with clear water and rub it with a soft cloth.

Besides, in order to prevent the oxidation of this magnificent metal, some of our jewelry has undergone a surface finish by electroplating. Most commonly with Rhodium or Platinum. These rarer metals than gold help to protect the silver while imitating its brilliance. But here again, some people will prefer jewelry without plating because they prefer the particular shine of silver. Indeed, some people will choose jewelry that is slightly oxidized. When subtly aged, silver is far from being devoid of charm! 

Darkened silver or shimmering silver, this metal will lend itself with ease to different looks!
