Butterfly Ring
Tinkerbell (Silver) Jewelry

Our jewelry is made of 925 Sterling silver, an alloy whose famous “magic recipe” is as follows: 92.5% silver combined with 7.5% copper! We can also, even if less rarely, find zinc instead of copper. Silver is a soft metal in its raw state and is thus made easier to work with thanks to this association! Keeping all its panache while providing a better consistency more likely to be worn, not surprising that 925 silver is the most common silver alloy among jewelers! In addition to its natural beauty, silver has several virtues: it is a hypoallergenic metal. Even better, it is used in medicine for its purifying properties. Unlike copper and iron which can emit a strong odor when in contact with the skin, silver also has the particularity of not having any odor.

On the other hand, in the long term, silver tends to blacken in contact with the air, but this is nothing!!! Black deposits due to oxidation are easily removed!  Here are some grandmother’s secrets to maintain your silver butterfly jewel: you can simply rub it gently with a wet toothbrush sprinkled with baking soda! Another tip: soak it in a bowl of beer for 10 hours. Then simply rinse it with clean water and rub it with a soft cloth.

So, in order to perfect the oxidation of the silver, some of our jewelry has been rhodium-plated or platinum-plated. These very precious metals help to protect the silver while being very close to its shine. Nevertheless, some people prefer jewelry without plating because they prefer the “gray” shine of silver. Indeed, oxidized silver jewelry is a style in itself! When a tad oxidized, silver can be quite charming with its vintage look! 

Aged silver or brand new silver, this metal will lend itself to a variety of looks with elegance!
