The whole truth about jewelry alloys from the masters of the Silvers store.

The fact that buy­ing jew­el­ry lifts the mood, relieves stress and improves well-being has been proven by sci­en­tists and psy­chol­o­gists more than once. Even their selec­tion in the online store puts you in a trance that allows you to dis­tract your­self from every­day thoughts. This process is more ben­e­fi­cial than 8 hours of sleep.

How­ev­er, jew­el­ry made of gold and sil­ver with nat­ur­al stones is not afford­able for every­one. Even Hol­ly­wood stars can­not afford to buy them, and more often rent or buy ana­log jew­el­ry. It is pro­duced in such orig­i­nal designs that a clas­sic jew­el­ry store could not even dream of.

What metal is jewelry made of?

Coco Chanel is con­sid­ered to be the founder of jew­el­ry. It was she who start­ed cre­at­ing inex­pen­sive acces­sories, the dis­tinc­tive fea­tures of which are chic and lux­u­ry. She was one of the first to give up jew­el­ry, pre­fer­ring bright clips, pearl neck­laces and trendy bracelets with pen­dants. In her styl­ish prod­ucts, restrained extrav­a­gance and sat­u­rat­ed col­ors, eth­nic orna­ments and geo­met­ric shapes were skill­ful­ly com­bined.

mod­ern jew­el­ry is:

• elite — imi­tates brand jew­el­ry Chanel, Dior, Tiffany, Guc­ci, etc. For its pro­duc­tion, foil­ing and elec­tro­plat­ing are used — a method of spray­ing sil­ver and gold with tin, brass, cop­per, and nick­el. Swarovs­ki crys­tals, cubic zir­co­nia pearls are what make expen­sive jew­el­ry;

• jew­el­ry — made of med­ical gold (sur­gi­cal steel) and semi-pre­cious stones, high qual­i­ty. Amber, corals, arti­fi­cial pearls of var­i­ous shapes and shades are used in its cre­ation. Some mod­els are made with an enam­el coat­ing. Thanks to high-qual­i­ty mate­ri­als, as well as an impec­ca­ble exquis­ite frame, these acces­sories are in no way infe­ri­or to nat­ur­al jew­el­ry, except for the cost;

• avant-garde and vin­tage — high­ly artis­tic orig­i­nal works of steel, plat­inum, bronze. They are most­ly made by hand from stain­less steel, arti­fi­cial resins, plas­tic, rhine­stones. They are absolute­ly self-suf­fi­cient prod­ucts and do not even claim the sta­tus of jew­el­ry;

• eth­nic — a spe­cial style in which motifs of var­i­ous peo­ples of the world are used. Eth­no-jew­el­ry is made of cop­per, tin, bronze, Mura­no glass, moth­er-of-pearl and beads.

What is a jewelry alloy?

It is a sub­stance con­sist­ing of two chem­i­cal com­po­nents. It con­tains the base met­al for jew­el­ry and an alloy­ing addi­tive that gives the alloy the desired prop­er­ties, such as strength, hard­ness, good pro­cess­ing and col­or depend­ing on the pro­por­tion (white, pink, red, etc.).

Most often, a jew­el­ry alloy with the fol­low­ing com­po­si­tions is used:

• for sil­ver — cop­per, cad­mi­um, tita­ni­um, zinc, alu­minum, coat­ing with ruthe­ni­um, rhodi­um and brass;

• for gold — pal­la­di­um, cop­per, nick­el, zinc, plat­inum, coat­ing with osmi­um, rhodi­um, pal­la­di­um.

Dis­ad­van­tages of the jew­el­ry alloy are the risk of an aller­gic rash on the skin of the body or on the hand (usu­al­ly this hap­pens due to the nick­el con­tent), as well as dark­en­ing lat­er due to con­tact with water, then with human sebum, cos­met­ic prod­ucts such as cream, per­fume and air when stored in a plas­tic bag togeth­er with oth­er acces­sories.

The cat­a­log of the Sil­vers online store presents high-qual­i­ty and anti-aller­genic jew­el­ry. Such prod­ucts are stronger and more durable than nat­ur­al jew­el­ry, and look no less styl­ish. The dif­fer­ence is not always notice­able. See for your­self by order­ing now!
