How To Keeping Your Silver Sparkling By jays-jewellery

So, who has tarnished silver jewellery ....... This blog will help you understand why it tarnishes and how to prevent it or clean it if it is already tarnished. Lets start with the term 'Sterling Silver ' used frequently to describe silver. I'm sure it's a term we have all wondered about at some point and just accepted the fact it's silver. Simply put, it's the fineness of the metal, or its purity. So, Sterling Silver is classed as 925 or 92.5% pure silver. There's another type called Brittannia Silver which is marked 958 or 95.8% pure silver. The vast majority of silver jewellery is made from Sterling Silver So Why Does Silver Tarnish?

Rhodium is part of the platinum family , applied via electro plating. Although durable, it does wear and can leave a yellow tinge to your white gold. How can I fix this? The vast majority of Quality jewellers will be able to offer a re-rhodium plating service. Where your item will be thoroughly polished, cleaned and rhodium plated back to its original beauty.
