- Does sterling silver tarnish?
- Unfortunately, yes.
- To mitigate the effects of tarnishing, we put the jewelry in a baggie with anti-tarnish coating and provide a black anti-tarnish tab. If the silver begins to turn, a dry polishing cloth (like Connoisseur Dry Polishing Cloths) work well.
- We encourage you to remove your sterling jewelry when active, sleeping and showering to help keep the jewelry looking new and pretty for longer.
- What is gold-filled?
- It is heat bonded 14k gold to jeweler’s brass; it’s the best alternative to solid gold.
- What is vermeil?
- It is sterling silver metal plated in 18k gold or 18k rose gold.
- It is another alternative for people with metal sensitivities.
- What ear wires are best for sensitive ears?
- We recommend stainless steel and sterling silver for sensitive ears as the majority of customers tend to tolerate those metals the best.
-
- While a small amount of nickel is present in both stainless steel and sterling silver, it is usually a trace amount and does not irritate people with nickel allergies.
- Why do some months have more than one or different birthstones?
- In 1912, the National Association of Jewelers released a ‘modern’ birthstone list with revisions to the traditional birthstone chart.
- To this day, jewelers continue to add new options to the modern birthstone chart.
