Sterling Silver
Sterling silver combines 92.5% silver with other metals to improve strength, making it practical for detailed jewelry that would be too soft in fine silver. Its cool tone suits jade, turquoise, lapis, amethyst and black stones, while oxidized details can bring extra definition to carved or symbolic motifs. Tarnish is a normal surface reaction, not proof that the piece is defective; gentle polishing can restore brightness. Check product details for plating, stone treatments and care guidance, especially if you have known metal sensitivities.
