Questions About Sterling Silver Jewellery?
How do you care for sterling silver jewellery?
Sterling silver can become tarnished over time, and especially when exposed to direct sunlight or moisture. Your jewellery will be forever admired, therefore it is important that proper care is given to ensure your stones and metals always sparkle at their best. Dust, lotions, soaps and daily wear can cloud the brilliance of your stones and dull the surface of your jewellery. We recommend using our Silver Jewellery Cleaner, and other jewellery cleaning solutions - be sure you follow the instructions as prescribed by the manufacturer for the best results.
What is the difference between silver and sterling silver jewellery?
Sterling silver is an alloy of pure silver and other metals – most commonly, copper. This is necessary because fine silver is too soft to be suitable for jewellery in its pure form. At Secrets Shhh, all of our sterling silver pieces are stamped S925 to guarantee that they are crafted from sterling silver that is 92.5% pure silver. This stamp gives you peace of mind that you are getting the highest quality sterling silver for your jewellery, with all the beauty and class of pure silver but enhanced in strength and durability.
How do you polish sterling silver jewellery?
Mild tarnishing can usually be resolved with a gentle polish. Always use a microfibre or non-abrasive cloth, or a cloth that is specifically designed for cleaning silver, and don’t be tempted to cut corners. Even a material that seems fairly harmless, like paper towels, can contain fibres that can scratch the silver, so make sure you source the right kind of cloth. Polish backwards and forwards, rather than in circles, as this follows the natural lines of the silver and will give the best results. Keep moving the cloth around so that you are using clean parts of the material. You could also use a cotton bud to gently reach into awkward angles.

How can you tell if sterling silver jewellery is real?
Real sterling silver jewellery should be stamped with “925” to verify that it contains 92.5% pure silver. This imprint is usually on the inside band of the ring, or on the clasp of the bracelet or necklace. All of our sterling silver jewellery at Secrets Shhh is stamped with the S925 mark so that you can be sure of the highest quality. There are also some simple at-home tests you can do to work out if your jewellery really is sterling silver. For example, you can check for oxidization by rubbing a clean white cloth over your jewellery – if it comes away with black marks on it, this is a sign that your piece is genuine silver that has reacted with the oxygen in the air. If the metal is magnetic, it is likely stainless steel that has been polished to look like silver, so this is another quick and easy method of checking for authenticity. If in doubt, bring your pieces into your nearest Secrets Shhh store and our team of specialists would be happy to check it over for you.
