How to Value Sterling Silver
Sterling Silver Jewelry – For Fanatics
Sterling silver jewelry has gained momentum in last few years. It is mainly due to the versatile nature and affordability of this metal. This has indeed driven jewelers across globe in creating more exquisite designs and patterns for the abstract minds.
Sterling silver, unlike gold can be worn for any occasion. Classy necklace with bangles and ear rings for weddings or a simple light-weight bracelet and ear drops combined with an evening gown can make one look absolutely elegant.
Sterling silver jewelry is also a great gifting option among teenagers. Young teen girls are fascinated by floral patterns, heart designs, religious icons in sterling silver or even small animal designs etched in silver.
Silver by nature is very soft metal and molding jewels is nearly impossible. A certain amount of alloy needs to be mixed with it to make more sturdy and durable. Copper is commonly used for this purpose. The acceptable proportion is 7.5 % of copper for every 92.5 % of silver. That is why 925 or 92.5 are hallmarked in every piece of this sterling silver, to mark it purity.
Sterling Silver has a tendency to scratch and tarnish over a period of time. Under proper care sterling silver will stay as new as how it was bought. Humidity and chemicals can cause sterling silver to tarnish rapidly. It is best to avoid contact of jewelry to sprays, perfumes or other chemicals such as lipstick or nail polish. The trick is to mildly water wash with acid-free detergent, dry quickly and preserve in a polythene or Ziploc bag. This can prevent the silver from any damage and this it can become precious heirloom that can be enjoyed by generations.

Frequently Asked Questions...
How do I make a sterling silver pendant?
I want to make a cross for a high school friend out of sterling sliver I love to make beaded necklaces but I have always wondered how to make silver pendants for the beaded necklaces I make. So, if anyone is into making these and knows how can you please tell me. It would be appreciated. I looked online and found out the tools you need to get started just don't know how to make them. You need:
Flat nose pliers, round nosed pliers, half round pliers, serrated pliers, jewellers saw, files, ball pien hammer, soldering tourch, charcoal block; which absorbs the excess flame away from the work bench, Borax dish and cone, binding wire, titanium soldering stick,insulated tweezers, a vise. And i think you need something called silver clay i am not sure. If so, tell me and tell me about how much it's going to cost just enough to make a medium sized cross.
Answer:
There are a lot of ways to get started, but I think that PMC Clay would be easiest to go with. You will need a minimum of tools to work the clay, and the clay can be fired a with a torch or you could find someone with a kiln to fire it for you (it doesn't take long, but requires a high temperature). Jewelry is a really fun hobby to get into, but it does require the tools you mentioned and is not cheap to do. (I have a MFA in jewelry and it's really addicting and does demand some learning to get good at it) Making metal objects is really time-consuming compared to other crafts, but is well worth the time if you enjoy working with your hands. To get a basic silversmithing kit will cost you a few hundred dollars to get started, assuming you want to learn to solder. Torches are expensive, but if you get an acetylene "B" tank and fittings, you can do an awful lot with it. It's worth your money and time to take a basic silversmithing class, as the tips you'll learn will be worth a thousand burned-up projects! I've taught many classes and it's definitely a fun skill to have, but takes dedication and time to get good at. The PMC clay is a good alternative and doesn't need too many tools to get started with. Go to a book store and get a PMC book and find the chapter that covers the materials and buy from that. I have had a LOT of fun making things over the years and the compliments I've received have made making it all the more fun.
