Sterling Silver Jewelry
FAQs
Sterling silver jewelry is a firm favorite around the world because it’s durable, affordable, versatile, hypoallergenic, and timeless. It finds the balance between durability for everyday wear and timelessness to always stay in fashion. Whether you’re looking for women’s or men's jewelry with sterling silver, you’re sure to find a friend for many years to come.
This is a question we are often asked, but the truth is that these terms refer to the same product. Since pure silver is a little soft, it’s normally combined with other metals for improved durability. The name ‘925 silver’ refers to the fact that, in every 1000 parts, 925 (92.5%) is silver while the remaining 75 (7.5%) is made up of additional metals.
When looking at sterling silver jewelry sets, one factor you’ll have in mind is durability. The good news is that sterling silver can have an incredibly long life, so long as you’re willing to maintain and care for it. With 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper and other alloys, it’s perfect for everyday wear and combines beautifully with various gems and stones.
At Lolovivi, we treat all of our 925 sterling silver pieces with rhodium, which strengthens the jewelry, prevents tarnishing, and maintains shine. Therefore, you can be sure that it will sparkle for many years to come.
There are some steps you can take to prevent or reduce tarnishing in sterling silver men’s jewelry and women’s jewelry. For example, you should store it in an airtight container, wear it (our skin’s oils help!), use polishing cloths, and take it in for professional cleaning every so often. Feel free to ask our passionate team at Lolovivi about looking after your stunning jewelry.
