WHAT IS STERLING SILVER?

Sterling silver jewelry contains 92.5% of fine silver and 7.5% of other metals. This is why you will see the numbers 925 stamped on your sterling silver pieces. The other metals commonly used are nickel and copper.

OXIDATION OF STERLING SILVER

Nickel and copper are susceptible to oxidation which will eventually cause your piece to tarnish. The tarnish will start as a yellow film and will eventually turn black.

CLEANING

When your piece tarnishes you can restore it's original luster by polishing it with a chemically treated jewelry polish cloth. A jewelry polish cloth comes with every Genevere Rose sterling silver order.
