Sterling silver ring - Zircon

Sterling silver is an alloy made up of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals. The 7.5% is usually copper. However, different metals can be used in the alloy to improve certain properties of pure silver. Indeed, pure silver is often too soft to make jewelry, which is why it must be mixed with other types of metals.

The oils in your skin help prevent sterling silver from oxidizing faster. However, although this type of ring is water resistant, we recommend avoiding water as much as possible when wearing your piece as sterling silver may oxidize over time. Wear your silver jewelry often and store it in a dry place before going to sleep.

If your jewelry oxidizes, clean it with a jewelry cloth to restore its shine.
