Storing and Caring For Your Valentine’s Day Silver Jewelry
February 14th, 2010 at 8:02am
Every woman loves silver so I hope you bought your sweetheart a gorgeous piece of it for Valentine’s Day. Spring is right around the corner and silver goes extremely well with a white dress, light make up and pearl studded accessories. The silver that is commonly worn is not pure silver, but an alloy of 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper. Copper contributes firmness to the soft metal and also imparts a unique glow to it. This alloy is also known as sterling silver or 925 silver. If you see 925 embossed somewhere on your jewelry it means it is of the best quality sterling silver.
