The sun and moon have been revered throughout human history for their powerful symbolism, often representing complementary forces and dualities. The sun, with its radiant warmth and illuminating light, is frequently associated with life, vitality, and enlightenment. It symbolizes energy, growth, and the active principle. In contrast, the moon, bathed in soft, reflective light, is linked to intuition, emotions, and the passive element. Together, the sun and moon embody the cyclical nature of existence, where day follows night in an eternal dance. This celestial duo often serves as a metaphor for opposing yet harmonious forces, such as male and female, light and dark, or conscious and subconscious.

Recycled sterling silver refers to a sustainable and eco-friendly practice in the production of sterling silver jewelry or items. In this process, scrap or previously used sterling silver is collected, refined, and then reintroduced into the production cycle. This reduces the demand for newly mined silver, lessening the environmental impact associated with traditional mining processes. Recycled sterling silver retains the same quality and purity as freshly mined silver, making it an ethical choice for those seeking environmentally conscious and socially responsible options in the jewelry industry.

 

Avoid Tarnishing: Tarnishing is a natural process that occurs when sterling silver reacts with sulfur or other airborne pollutants. To minimize tarnishing, store your jewelry in anti-tarnish pouches or with anti-tarnish strips. You can also wear your jewelry frequently, as the oils in your skin can help prevent tarnishing.

Polishing: To restore the shine of your sterling silver jewelry, use a polishing cloth designed for silver. Gently buff the surface in a circular motion, taking care not to apply too much pressure, as this can scratch the metal.

  • What is Sterling Silver?

Sterling silver is a popular metal alloy commonly used in jewelry making. It consists of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. This composition is what gives sterling silver its durability, as pure silver on its own is too soft for practical use in jewelry.

  • Is tarnishing normal?

Yes! Sterling silver tarnishes due to a chemical reaction between the silver and sulfur-containing substances in the air, as well as certain chemicals and pollutants. The process can be slowed down through proper care and storage.

  • Can Sterling Silver turn my skin green?

Typically skin discoloration is not something to be worried about with sterling silver but that doesn't mean it can't happen. The greenish discoloration is typically caused by a reaction between the metal alloys in sterling silver, particularly copper, and the natural acids and oils present in the wearer's skin.

If you have worn sterling silver in the past with no issues than you most likely will not have any problems in the future.
