Today we would like to share with you 5 types of 925 sterling silver.
(1) 925 sterling silver plated with white gold.
Silver is an unstable metal and it will become yellow and black because of external factors. There is no way to stop its change in the world. 925 silver plated with white gold (palladium, rhodium) outside can effectively isolate 925 silver from the outside air, such a platinum effect, depending on their own degree of protection of jewelry, generally can be maintained for 4-12 months, after which it will become the effect of silver itself. Then use a silver-polish cloth to re-shine it after then.
(2) 925 sterling silver high polish.
Silver ore shines with a beautiful bright white color (milky white) when it is first mined, but once it comes into contact with air, it will turn into silver itself (beige) in a very short time. After the finished product is produced, silver jewelry can reproduce the dazzling bright white color of silver when it is first mined by high polishing or bright silver plating.
But the same can not be maintained in the air, about 15 days or so back to the original silver color, this bright white is only a kind of sales look, so if sold over the counter, please use plastic film sealed packaging.
