Sterling silver jewelry has been prized for centuries for its beauty, durability, and affordability. At Chia Jewelry, every piece of silver jewelry is made from unplated Sterling Silver. In this article, we will explain what Sterling Silver is, why it is a great material for jewelry, and the disadvantages of gold plated silver.
Sterling silver is a silver alloy containing 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. This combination gives Sterling Silver the necessary strength and durability for jewelry making, while maintaining its natural shine and beauty. Sterling Silver is a great alternative to more expensive precious metals like gold or platinum.
At Chia Jewelry, we believe Sterling Silver is the perfect material for jewelry because of its unique properties:
Durable - Sterling Silver is strong and resistant to damage, making it perfect for everyday wear.
Hypoallergenic - Unlike some other metals, Sterling Silver is unlikely to cause an allergic reaction in most people.
Versatile - Sterling Silver can be used to create a wide range of jewelry styles, from classic to modern.
Affordable - Sterling Silver is more affordable than gold or platinum, making it a great choice for high-quality jewelry at a lower cost.
In contrast, gold plated silver, while more affordable than solid gold, has several disadvantages. The gold plating can wear off over time, leaving the jewelry looking dull and unattractive. The chemicals used in the plating process can also cause skin allergies and irritations. Additionally, the plating solution used in the process can be polluting to the environment.
At Chia Jewelry, we are committed to providing high-quality jewelry that is both beautiful and eco-friendly. We only use unplated Sterling Silver in our jewelry to ensure that our pieces remain beautiful and durable for years to come!
