Questions
What is 925 sterling silver composition?
925 sterling silver contains 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper alloy for increased durability while maintaining precious metal value.
How does gold-filled jewelry differ from gold-plated?
Gold-filled jewelry has a thick bonded gold layer over base metal, making it more durable and tarnish-resistant compared to thin gold-plated coatings.
Are Bali beads considered sterling silver?
Bali beads typically have lower silver content than 925 sterling standard, though they feature similar handmade craftsmanship and intricate designs.
What causes the rainbow effect on some crystals?
Swarovski's Aurora Borealis coating creates permanent iridescent rainbow effects through chemical bonding to crystal surfaces.
How should I care for vermeil jewelry?
Avoid exposing vermeil (gold-plated silver) to harsh chemicals. Clean gently with soft cloth to maintain gold layer integrity over silver base.
What distinguishes CZ from diamonds?
Cubic zirconia has similar appearance to diamonds but shows more colorful fire effects. It rates 8.5 on Mohs hardness scale versus diamond's 10.
