About Sterling Silver Jewelry
History
Experts believe that silver alloy, used today as sterling silver, originated in continental Europe in the 12th century. Pure silver was found to be a soft and easily damageable material. When combined with other metals, most commonly cooper; it produced a tougher material that could be heavily relied on. Throughout the next few centuries, sterling silver was used as currency and household items. It was often used as silverware and became the material used in a proper table setting between 1840 and 1940 throughout the United States and Europe. Because of this popularity, silver companies began to grown. During this craze, companies began to experiment using sterling silver compositions in jewelry as it was a material that was easy to mold into intricate designs and gave a luxurious look with its metallic finish. Today, sterling silver is widely used in all kinds of jewelry styles and shines as beautifully as other precious metals, with the benefit of affordable pricing.
Sterling Silver Composition
While pure silver can be combined with many different types of metals, sterling silver is created when combining pure silver with copper. Sterling silver jewelry can be composed with different amounts of copper but is most often seen with the .925 stamp, meaning that the composition is of 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper. This has been found to be a good combination for maintaining the silver's durability without harming its sparkle.
Caring For Your Sterling Silver Jewelry
Silver should not come into contact with harsh household chemicals such as bleach, ammonia, or chlorine. To avoid scratches, store silver in a lined jewelry box or pouch, as it is prone to tarnish as it naturally reacts with sulfur or hydrogen sulfide in the air. Cleaning and wearing silver jewelry regularly will prevent this and help maintain its shine. Immediately upon noticing any discoloration, use a gentle polish made specifically for removing tarnish.

Angel Wing Drop Earrings,

This review is from: Sterling Silver Angel Wing Drop Earrings (Jewelry)
The picture does not do these earrings justice. They are much more beautiful in person. Good quality. They really look like angel wings. I am not one to write reviews, but these were so nice I just had to share. These will make a lovely gift for a young girl to an older woman. They look like they cost a lot more. You won't go wrong with this purchase!

This review is from: Sterling Silver Angel Wing Drop Earrings (Jewelry)
These came in the mail today and they are beautiful. It is exactly like the picture (however they are small so don't expect some huge dangling wings) and they are delicate.
The only down side I have with them is the hook. Although on picture it looks like fine, when I saw them in person I was surprised by how short the back of the hook is, so potential possibility of losing them somewhere randomly. Also it is kind of dull on the end of the silver hook so when I put them on they hurt a bit initially. Other than that these ear rings are just what I expected! 5 stars.

Cute, but tiny.,

This review is from: Sterling Silver Angel Wing Drop Earrings (Jewelry)
The earrings are about 1/3 the size I was expecting.
Also was dissappointed that the wings are not really a pair, but both face the same direction.
