MATERIAL & JEWELRY CARE


MATERIAL

We pride ourselves in using 100% Pure Sterling Silver that is of high quality, affordable and can restore its original color by polishing. Sterling Silver is a beautiful and solid precious metal that can last a lifetime

Sterling Silver is made from 92.5% or 95% silver and 7.5% or 5% alloy, hence the name 925/950 Silver. Pure silver is precious but too soft to use in jewelry. Add a little alloy to the mix and voila, you’ve got a more sturdy version of silver that can be turned to pretty aesthetic jewelry.

How do I make sure it is Real Silver?

There are many fake silver or silver-plated items out there that is very difficult to control

Here are some different ways you can test at home to make sure that the jewelry you have is made up of Real Silver:

  • Authentication Hallmark or Stamp: The first thing you should look for when you inspecting an item to be real silver is markings like a stamp or hallmark. All Blink Silver items are authentically stamped with Verified S925/S950 stamp that can be found on the inside of every jewelry.
  • The Magnet Test: Most precious metals, like gold, are nonmagnetic, and silver is no exception. Grab some magnets and see if they are drawn to your jewelry. Fake silver or silver-plated items over other metals (like zinc, brass, stainless steel, titan, iron) will stick strongly to the magnet. Real Silver, on the other hand, will exhibit only weak magnetic effect.
  • The Polish Test: Real Silver will tarnish from time to time but can be polished with a polishing cloth. If your jewelry lose its original color after polishing, it is suggested that the items were plated with silver and not pure silver in the beginning.

 

JEWELRY CARE

Sterling Silver is a beautiful and solid precious metal that can last a lifetime. It oxidizes when in contact with sulphur particles in the air and water. In fact, the oil on your skin is a natural silver polishing solution. Wearing it often will help prevent tarnishing!
