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.

Very pretty ....,

This review is from: Sterling Silver Filigree Oval Drop Earrings (Jewelry)
I purchased these for my sis-in-law for Christmas this year, and she LOVED them.
It's a little hard to tell from the picture, but the overall length from top of curve of the wire to the bottom of the drop is 1". The filigree oval dangle part is just under 1/2" long, and just over 1/3" wide. They're delicate, but not so delicate that they can't be seen. The presentation is nice, too: they come in a little velvet drawstring bag inside a nice cardboard jewelry box, both in navy blue. The quality of the workmanship is excellent -- these look more expensive than they are. I may purchase a pair for myself, I liked them that much. Very nice, indeed.

My wife loved the filigree earrings. They were unique and elegant, I recommend getting the matching necklace. I word of advice-use those little rubber stoppers when you wear them, as they would occasionally fall off fairly easily. Which is how I ended up needing to buy a second pair. Now she has a spare earring.

These earrings are great! They match my expensive Lois Hill ring from a high end store. They are great quality for the cheap price and made of sterling silver. I am very pleased with the look, size 1/4-1/2 inches approx. and quality. If you are thinking about them, go for it! I did and am very pleased.
