What Does .925 Have To Do With Sterling Silver Jewelry?

Jennifer — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 15:20:32 +0000

Ah, what is it about sterling silver jewelry that makes it all so desirable. Everyone wants some. There are even men who collect sets of sterling silver jewelry!Women, of course, can’t get enough of this jewelry either. This kind of jewelry is just an addition to the many kinds of jewelry that most women already have. However, some of you may be wondering what sterling silver jewelry really is.

It may come as a shocker to most of you, but there is a great difference between pure silver jewelry and sterling silver jewelry. Essentially, it is actually very hard to find a place that sells pure silver jewelry.This is because pure silver, which is 99% fine silver, is too soft and malleable to be able to last as long as you’d want jewelry to last.Imagine the characteristics of aluminum foil. You can have many layers of foil stacked on top of each other, but in the end, you will still be able to control its shape.Pure silver jewelry isn’t really as thin as aluminum foil is.All we are saying that pure silver cannot retain its shape and dimension without mixing alloys with it – a property that is similar to aluminum foil.

The term sterling actually connotes the alloys mixed with the silver. A few of the alloys which are commonly used are boron, germanium, silicon, zinc, and most popularly, copper.Sterling silver jewelry is then usually defined as jewelry that should contain at least that 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% alloys.

Much of the sterling silver jewelry which we are familiar with today is engineered to create a more attractive look.Some of this jewelry is even mixed with alloys that help maintain a look which is tarnish-free.

Others are set in a way that other forms some sort of iridescent multi-coloration to enhance the gemstones or minerals embedded within, as you would often see in silver and cz jewelry. There are new and brilliant designs for cz rings set in sterling silver.

What Does .925 Have To Do With Sterling Silver Jewelry?

How To Id Cz Jewelry

Jennifer — Sat, 31 May 2008 15:08:02 +0000

The easiest possible way of identifying real CZ jewelry is by simply comparing price tag. Well, it may be true that a description of the product may be entrenched on the tag; but if not, it should be easy enough to know when the cz rings you are looking at are indeed made up of cz. Cubic zirconia or cz jewelry is way more affordable than diamond jewelry, you see.
Also it is less expensive than any other jewelries that are made out of sterling silver jewelry, for example cz rings. This is because cubic zirconia is man-made, can be cultivated on a commercial level, and can be synthesized to outmatch natural occurring diamonds.
Cubic zirconia should not be confused with synthetic diamonds or enhanced diamonds. CZ are made up a crystalline zirconium dioxide and not allotrope carbon that is the main composition of the synthetic ones.
Other than the price tag, there are no way to tell the difference between cz and real diamonds unless you have a high precision equipment. Trying to tell the two of them apart is like trying to gauge what is pure sterling silver jewelry from the silver plated ones. Try to think about sorting out a number of silver rings that are made out of .925 sterling silver and defining which one has pure silver content or has an alloy one. Even if your eyes are trained for the job, it is definitely impossible to do so.
An expert gemologist can actually know a technique on how to differentiate a cz and from a real diamond.What the gemologists do is the simple thing of examining the diamond through its flaws. Yes, diamonds are hardly perfect, while cz can be engineered to perfection.
Diamonds have hazy, impure transparency and often have irregular cuts. It is part of diamond’s nature to have imperfections because they are geologically made this way. More often a diamond’s impurities are deeply embedded making it hard to find a haze free one. And even the cut of the diamond (this mineral is extremely hard) are irregularly made.
Cz, as stated above, can be engineered to perfection, meaning that most pieces are perfectly clear, with no traces of impurities what so ever. These CZ cuts are perfectly shaped to reflect the polished and luminosity of the regular and smooth gem. This is because the cz is not physically hard as that of the diamond.
