Different Types Of Silver Jewelry?
Silver jewelry makes a wonderful gift for a loved one - as long as you know what you are shopping for! In the world of silver, all that glitters is not, well, silver. Some jewelry is advertised as "silver tone." Silver tone jewelry is costume jewelry and usually contains no real silver at all. It is silver in color, but can be made from so many different combinations of metals that there is no standard of what to expect. Some silver tone is very durable and won't tarnish. Other silver tone pieces are brittle, or tarnish almost immediately. It frequently leaves green markings on the wearer's skin where it contacts perfume or perspiration. "Alpaca Silver" is another type of silver jewelry frequently encountered by consumers. It sounds quite exotic, like some sort of silver mined from South American mountains where wild alpacas roam. Unfortunately, it isn't. Unlike silver tone, alpaca silver is a specific alloy of copper, zinc, nickel and iron, so it has consistent color and quality. It is silver in color and will not tarnish, but it contains no real silver and can irritate sensitive skin because of the nickel content. "Silver plate" or "silver electroplate" is also costume jewelry, although it is coated with real silver. The coating is often quite thin, and over time it will wear away to reveal whatever base metal lies beneath the silver plating. True silver jewelry will be sold as "sterling silver." It is made from an allow of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper, and often has a marking of "0.925" of "SS" somewhere on it. Sterling silver tarnishes over time, but can be returned to its original luster with a silver cleaning agent. Unlike its costume jewelry counterparts, sterling jewelry will not irritate sensitive skin or leave colored markings behind because it contains no nickel. Sterling silver is likely the closest consumers will come to finding pure silver jewelry. Pure silver is unsuitable for jewelry making because it is too soft. It also tarnishes in an extremely short period of time due to oils in the skin and atmospheric moisture, and so requires a lot of cleaning and maintenance.
Does sterling silver jewelry fade?
Sterling silver can fade as it is coated with a substance called rhodium. Rhodium is a coating used on all white tone jewelry. It gives the jewelry its white color and shine. When this rhodium wears off due to wear and tear of the item, it can be replaced at a local jewelry store.
