Pendant for Butterfly Necklace
Lemon (Silver)

Our range is made of 925 Sterling Silver, an alloy composed of 92. 5% silver and 7.5% copper or zinc. Soft metal in its raw state, silver is thus made more solid thanks to this association! Retaining all of its shine while providing a better consistency that can be worked, it’s no wonder that 925 sterling is the most popular silver alloy in jewelry! In addition to its much appreciated brilliance, silver reveals multiple qualities: it is an element perfectly tolerated by our body. Surprisingly, it is used in medicine for its purifying virtues. Unlike copper or iron, which tend to produce a strong odor when in contact with the epidermis, silver also has the specificity of being odorless.

However, silver is naturally sensitive to air, but no worries! The dark spots produced by oxing are safe! To keep your silver butterfly jewelry looking great, you can simply clean it thoroughly with a damp toothbrush sprinkled with baking soda! Another little secret from grandma: soak it in white vinegar for 2 hours. Then just rinse it with clean water and rub it with a soft cloth.

Besides, to prevent the oxidative tendency of this superb metal, some of our jewelry has undergone a surface finish by electroplating. Most generally with Rhodium or Platinum. These metals are rarer than gold and protect the silver while imitating its brilliance. Nevertheless, some people prefer jewelry without plating because they find the shine of platinum and rhodium too intense. Indeed, some people will turn to lightly oxidized jewelry. When slightly oxidized, silver is far from being without style! 

In vintage or shimmery fashion, find your style!
