Pendant for Butterfly Necklace
Tropical Flower (Silver)

Want to know more about our butterfly jewelry, so you can wear them better? Our jewelry is composed of 925 Sterling Silver, an alloy consisting of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper or zinc. Silver is a soft metal in its raw state and is thus made more solid thanks to this association! Retaining its typical shine while giving it an excellent hold, it’s no wonder sterling silver is the most popular silver alloy among jewelers! In addition to its superb brilliance, silver reveals several other qualities: it is one of the hypoallergenic metals. Even better, it is used in medicine for its anti-microbial qualities. Unlike copper and iron, which tend to emit a metallic odor upon contact with the epidermis, silver also has the specificity of being odorless.

On the other hand, over the long term, silver tends to blacken upon contact with oxygen, but you can keep your cool! The black spots that result from this natural phenomenon are harmless!  To keep your silver butterfly jewelry looking great, simply clean it gently with a toothbrush and lemon juice! You can also leave it to soak for 120 minutes in white vinegar!

Besides, in order to prevent oxidation of this beautiful metal, some of our jewelry has been rhodium-plated or platinum-plated. These very precious metals help protect the silver while enhancing its shine. But then again, some people will prefer jewelry without plating because they prefer the more “gray” shine of silver. Indeed, oxidized silver jewelry is an aesthetic in its own right! When slightly oxidized, silver can be quite charming with its elegant appearance! 

In vintage or sparkle mode, taste and color are not up for debate!
