At times, like pictured above, sterling silver is mixed with gold. This photo depicts sterling silver and 18 karat gold, and the finished pieces are phenomenal. Information on colored gold and karat information can be found in our past blogs.
Sterling Silver is a softer metal-
Sterling silver is made up of 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent alloys. Since sterling silver is a softer metal, you will see gems bezeled in place, providing a secure attachment to the jewelry. Sterling silver that is plated in Rhodium, which is part of the platinum family, rarely tarnishes. Rhodium-plated silver is only a fraction more expensive, but it recoups the value in saved time for plating and cleaning, as well as removing tarnish. Most of the pieces at Lee Dorn Jewelers are plated in Rhodium because of the jewelry’s low maintenance and ease-of-care. If you find yourself with tarnished jewelry, polish it off with a polishing cloth; Lee will give them away upon request.
There are so many varieties and ways that Sterling Sliver can be used and/or displayed; the possibilities are endless. There are plenty of affordable pieces for around $30 each; sterling silver jewelry is very affordable. Since sterling silver is an excellent vehicle for colorful stones, it helps keep the prices relatively inexpensive. Hopefully, more people will enjoy sterling silver because of this information.
