Sterling Silver

Color
The 935 sterling silver has a warm shine and the typical silver color.

Aging
Sterling silver tarnishes over time, which means it becomes a little darker and more dull. However, this can always be cleaned with a silver bath or a silver polishing cloth.

Sustainability
The 935 sterling silver we use is 100% recycled. This way we conserve resources and at the same time can ensure that the castings are of high quality. Sterling silver is very durable and can be worn for a lifetime.

Comfort
Sterling silver is a very warm, soft and comfortable material to wear and does not require much care.

Material Value
The pure material value of sterling silver is higher than that of brass or copper because silver is a precious metal.

Care
I recommend that you take off your jewelry while cleaning or exercising to avoid damaging the jewelry. You should also remove your jewelry before applying lotion or using any kind of soap to prevent the sterling silver from tarnishing too quickly. The silver reacts with oxygen, which then leads to this dark oxidation layer, so if the jewelry is not being worn, make sure to store it in an airtight container, for example in the jewelry box provided.

If the piece of jewelry has tarnished, heat a liter of water and dissolve a few tablespoons of salt in it . Now you can put the silver jewelry and some aluminum foil in it. After about two minutes, you will see how the discoloration reduces. It is important that the aluminum foil and jewelry touch each other.

Gold-Plated Sterling Silver

Color
The gold plating has a beautiful, sunny, bright yellow shimmer and goes wonderfully with our sterling silver.

Aging
The gold plating does not tarnish and retains its golden shine. However, any piece that has a lot of skin contact - especially rings - will have its gold plating wear off over time. If you feel that your piece needs a new coating, we are happy to help!

Sustainability
The gold plating is done with 100% recycled gold!

Comfort
The gold plating gives the jewelry a very warm, beautifully soft surface and is therefore very comfortable to wear.

Material Value
The pure material value of sterling silver is higher than that of brass or copper, as silver, like gold, is a precious metal. Gold has a very high material price and our gold-plated jewelry is coated with a 2 micrometer thick layer.

Care
I recommend removing the jewelry while cleaning and exercising to prevent the gold plating from becoming scratched or damaged. Also, the jewelry should be removed before applying lotion or using any type of soap to prevent the plating from wearing off too quickly.
