What is E-coating?
 
E-coating, also known as electro-coating or electro deposition, is a method that uses electrical current to coat the metal surface with an organic lacquer, covering every nook and cranny on the jewelry with an even and consistent protective coat. This coating protects the sterling silver from tarnishing for an extended period. E-coated jewelry has a warmer tone than rhodium plated silver and let the natural beauty of the sterling silver come through. Here is more information about different types of plating.
 
What is the difference between Crystal and Cubic Zirconia (CZ)?
 
Crystal is a transparent material which get its color through a colored foil stuck to the bottom of the stone. If you have a crystal without foil, the color will be like regular glass. For jewelry purposes most of the crystals are glued on the silver or steel part. Cubic Zirconia also called “synthetic Diamond” is a material created through a chemical process to give this stone a true color, great shininess and a solid structure. CZ stones are not glued but set from hand. We do 4 types of setting: Prong setting, Wax setting, Bezel setting and Channel setting.
 
Why does silver tarnish?
 
Tarnishing is a natural consequence of silver reacting with element of the air such as sulfur or hydrogen. Many people believe that silver tarnishes happen because of oxidation effect, but technically speaking it is not correct as silver is not considered as a reactive material. It does not have reaction with Oxygen or water at ambient temperatures.
 
How can I care for my silver jewelry?
 
The biggest enemy of silver jewelry are chemical products. Taking care of your silver basically means avoiding any exposure of your silver to household chemicals when cleaning with bleach or ammonia for example, or going to pool in chlorinated water. These substances might damage your silver.
 
How to clean my silver jewelry?
 
This will surprise you but the best way to maintain your silver jewelry in good shape is by wearing it often. Notwithstanding that humidity and the fact of storing the silver can lead to tarnishing the piece, this is called oxidation. The consequence of it is a darkish black color that will appear on the surface of your jewelry. Lucky for us, tarnish can be easily removed as long as it’s treated when the first marks of oxidation become visible.
 
Is sterling silver jewelry safe for young kids?
 
It is safe for young kids, however we don’t recommend to be used as their first earring/ ear stud. Silver jewellery is suitable only after piercing healing period.
