Is it real silver?
How do you know if its real sterling silver
All silver
from Butterfly Silver is genuine sold Sterling Silver.
What
is Sterling Silver?
Sterling Silver is a mixture of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper.
The very small amount of copper gives the metal enough strength
and hardness to be made into jewellery.
What
does 925 mean?
925 is the international standard for sterling silver. All precious
metals use the same standard which indicates the amount of pure
metal in the alloy. For example 9ct gold is 375 which is 375 parts
per thousand or 37.5% gold. Sterling silver is 925 parts per thousand
or 92.5% silver. This makes sterling silver a much purer metal
than its gold rival. It is the 62.5% copper in 9ct gold which
makes it pink.
Why
does Sterling Silver oxidise?
Reaction with the chemicals in the environment and air causes
silver to naturally oxidise. This is not a product defect. However,
it is very easy to keep your silver jewellery clean and bright
if you know how and use the correct care products.
Why
is it so cheap?

is very good. We know our product and we know how jewellery should be
made so we are very good at what we do. We use all of our skills to bring
