It is no secret that we have been obsessed with Silver Jewelry - and this obsession is what fuels us to create more and more designs at Quirksmith. We genuinely wanted our love for Silver Jewelry to reach more people and so - resolved with helping people with their Silver Jewelry Shopping and Care - we asked you all to share your questions about shopping Silver Jewelry online. We wouldn't have been more glad to be inundated with plentiful and purposeful questions - and thoroughly enjoyed putting together this Q&A guide for all of you:
Are Sterling Silver & 92.5 Silver the same?
Yes. Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% by weight of silver and 7.5% by weight of other metals, usually copper. Since it is characterized by 92.5% of Silver - it is also called 92.5 Silver.
Alloys such as Sterling silver are used to make Silver jewelry because pure silver is extremely soft to work with. Other metals comprising the 7.5% of Sterling Silver help in crafting silver jewelry in exquisite designs that we envision.
Does silver jewelry have any hallmark similar to that of Gold Jewelry?
Is Sterling Silver good to wear daily?/ Can you wear it everyday?
Is Sterling Silver allergic to people who're allergic to anything other than Gold?
