Stainless Steel Jewelry
- 2. Stainless Steel Jewelry When Silver Cannot Be Opted For You might love the look of silver jewelry but might not prefer to buy it for several reasons. Silver prices are at an all time high; again, silver in its pure form is too soft and malleable. It will bend and be deformed in no time. Again, it tends to be tarnished over time. For more affordable options than silver with the same look and feel, you have choice between sterling silver and stainless steel jewelry. Both these alloys produce jewelry items that are silver in color, have a luster and shine and are durable items. They are used not only in making jewelry but everyday utensils and equipments as well. What Is Sterling Silver Sterling silver jewelry is formed of an alloy that consists of 92.5% silver and the rest of other metals like copper, nickel and others. Many sterling silver items have the marking “925” in order to denote the amount of silver content in them. This alloy is used in designing most silver jewelry items. It is durable and yet soft enough to be designed into intricate art work. This alloy is cheap and the resultant jewelry items are more affordable. However, a limitation of sterling silver is that it gets oxidized by the oxygen and water content in the atmosphere. Thus, it gets tarnished over time. One needs to care for such items by regularly polishing them with a soft cloth. For more Information visit at: http://www.arzshop.com/
