Sterling Silver Jewelry
The sterling silver jewelry that Orosilber offers to its customers is always 92.5 percent pure silver. Pure silver, also known as fine silver, is very soft and would easily damage. Therefore, this pure silver is combined with another metal, most commonly copper, to create a much harder and more durable silver. 92.5 percent of the silver product is pure silver and the other 7.5 percent is copper. Copper is used because it improves the metal’s hardness, without changing the beautiful color of sterling silver. After all, we just adore sterling silver jewelry.
Sterling silver alone has a value, but the design and intricacy of each piece affect the price accordingly. Our goal is to find the best value for your money in the pieces that we offer to our customers.
Stamps of Quality
You will see on our pieces of jewelry a stamp of quality, or fineness mark. This will appear as "925". Sometimes the jewelry item is too small for the mark to be placed, but be assured that we have inspected each piece to be sure that it is .925 sterling silver.
Cubic Zirconia Jewelry
Cubic zirconias are brilliant, flawless, manmade stones that look exactly like diamonds or colorful gemstones, but at a fraction of the price. Cubic zirconia stones have the same brilliance of diamonds and other gemstones, and to the naked eye look identical. Whether you favor the colors of pink, rose, amethyst, blue topaz, citrine, peridot, sapphire or ruby red, you will love the gorgeous colors and styles of our Sterling Silver Cubic Zirconia (CZ) Jewelry.
Rhodium Finished Jewelry
Some of our sterling silver jewelry is rhodium finished. The jewelry is crafted of .925 sterling silver and a finish is carefully applied over the piece. This rhodium finish adds a luster that gives silver the same, high-quality look as platinum and it eliminates tarnishing completely. Most of our sterling silver bracelets, necklaces, earrings and rings with cubic zirconias do have the rhodium finish, as it makes for easier care and eliminates scratches in the sterling silver.
Cleaning your CZ Sterling Silver Jewelry
The best way to clean your CZ Sterling Silver jewelry is to use warm water or a little steam. Liquid dishwashing detergent (no ammonia), combined with warm water and a very soft brush or cloth. NEVER use silver polish on rhodium finished jewelry. It makes it convenient to have the Cubic Zirconia CZ set in rhodium finished sterling silver, as both should be cleaned in the same manner.
Enjoy your Cubic Zirconia CZ and sterling silver jewelry that you purchase from Orosilber. The stones will never lose their sparkle if you simply keep them clean.
