Silver is one of the most popular metals used for decorative jewelry. We use 925 sterling silver on our earrings and as a decorative jewelry or charms on some of our bracelets. Decorative charms are one of our designer’s top choices for elevating the finishing touch to our jewelry's collections and to add a dose of luxury to your everyday looks. 

What is 925 Sterling silver?

Sterling silver .925 refers to the metal alloy created by blending pure silver with copper or another metal. Pure silver is non-reactive but blending it with copper makes it more susceptible to change. This means it is prone to tarnishing, so metals other than copper can be used to reduce tarnishing. This is why you see Sterling silver being stamped .925. 

Sterling Silver earrings hypoallergenic? 

Our Sterling silver using for earring is hypoallergenic and nonreactive. Both pure silver and copper (the most common alloy in Sterling Silver) are pure metals which will not create allergic reactions. 

Does Sterling Silver tarnish?

Yes, over time Sterling silver will tarnish because of the presence of copper. However, tarnishing will not ruin your silver pieces. How do you define tarnish? Tarnishing is discoloration on a metal from the exposure to ozone or sulfur. 

How do I polish or clean Sterling Silver?

When a silver polishing cloth doesn’t do the trick we have some easy ways to clean your jewelry. If you’re not in a pinch or hoping to wear your jewelry that moment you can use silver jewelry dip, a tarnish remover cream, or heavy duty polishing cloth.

Can Sterling Silver get wet?

Yes, it can get wet. Water will not ruin Sterling Silver. However, the more often it gets wet the faster it tarnishes. As we’ve covered, tarnishing isn’t actually as bad as it seems. But if you’re not a fan of constantly cleaning and polishing your jewelry then keep it low maintenance by avoiding water when possible. Pro-tip: avoid corrosive agents present in hot tub or ocean water.

Sterling Silver vs Silver

Sterling silver as we’ve learned is actually 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metal alloys like copper. Pure silver is simply too soft to make jewelry out of. Blending pure silver with other metal alloys strengthens the metal and makes it ideal for jewelry.

Sterling Silver vs Stainless Steel

Stainless steel and sterling silver are both alloy metals. They’re both a combination of several other metals. Stainless steel is both corrosion and scratch-resistant. Sterling silver is a more elegant option (in color and feel) for jewelry and is more lightweight compared to stainless steel. Sterling silver also holds more value compared to stainless steel as it is a precious metal.

HINN Jewelry Care Instructions

Thank you for choosing HINN Jewelry!

HINN jewelry has been exclusively designed and handcrafted to meet the highest standards of quality and requires delicate handling. The materials will show signs of wear over time, and it’s normal. Dust, pollution and daily wear all will conspire to cloud the brilliance of our gemstones and will dull the surface of metals.

With proper care, our jewelry can last for generations. We've listed a few tips below to help you keep your jewelry in pristine condition. 

• Avoid wearing with excessive water or steam contact. Always remove your jewelry before swimming, bathing, doing household chores or using abrasive cleaners.

• Avoid wearing during any sport for personal safety reasons.

• Avoid spray perfume, hairspray or all types of make-up, as well as coming in contact with cleaning products in case of de-coloring the materials. Or even better, always put your jewelry on last when getting dressed. Please note that chlorine is especially damaging to jewelry.

• Avoid heat and overexposure to the sun. Some gemstones like Amethyst, Citrine, Smoky Quart etc. can have color fade on direct sunlight or heat exposure.

• When your jewelry is not being worn, the presentation packaging will keep your items clean and safe. Store jewelry separately so that pieces do not tangle, rub or scratch against each other. Make sure your jewelry is completely dry before storing.

Sterling Silver Care

• Sterling silver jewelry is good option for people looking for high-quality jewelry. However, it requires a bit more care than other metals. 

• Sterling silver is prone to tarnishing, so it's important to store it in a cool, dry, air-tight place. You should also avoid exposing it to water, chlorine, or pollutants. 

• With proper care, your sterling silver jewelry will last a long time.

Gemstone Care

• If you see any white spots on your gemstone, don't worry! It's just from where it was touched and can be easily removed by rubbing it with your fingers and "oiling" it. 

• You can also use a damp cloth on the stone but avoid circular motions.
