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.

Silver Heart Locket,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sterling Silver Satin Finish Heart Locket, 18" (Jewelry)
Beautiful locket. strong chain and clasp. Bought two for my granddaughters who are in their early teens and the locket looks so nice on them. Looks great on an adult too. I did a lot of research on line to find a locket that did not cost to much and had a strong enough chain, this one was one of the best I've seen. Room for two pictures. Pictures go behind two heart shape clear plastic inserts. Remove with point of a pin, keep safe they are easily lost. Scan picture on computer, crop face with heart shape crop tool then resize to fit locket opening. Practice makes perfect. Snap in plastic heart cover over picture. Comes with a beautiful blue velvet box. Made a big hit with everyone. especially the girls. A really great buy. So pretty.

Great Pendant, But...,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sterling Silver Satin Finish Heart Locket, 18" (Jewelry)
My wife LOVED it! This pendant was great for my wife and I was even thinking about getting one for my daughter for her birthday. But the clasp broke within 3 weeks and is not usable. I will be getting a little better chain with clasp that will hold a lot better than it did. But don't let this 'clasp' issue prevent you from buying one. The locket itself is really nice. Good product for the price.

Great Locket!,
By Jacob Hantla "hantla.com" (Chandler, AZ United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Sterling Silver Satin Finish Heart Locket, 18" (Jewelry)
My husband bought this beautiful locket for me. The area for the pictures is large enough to see the details of the picture, but not too large. You can put a picture on both sides. The chain and clasp are strong and a good length 18". My husband cropped the pictures and had them printed at costco. The quality is amazing much better than using our home printer. The pictures could be easily changed, though I will keep the ones he put in it. I highly recommend this great quality, beautiful, silver locket. I love the satin finish!
