Why Sterling Silver Jewellery is a great choice

Have ever you wanted to start building a sterling silver jewellery collection or add to your existing collection?

Then, this is the perfect place to start.

What is Sterling Silver?

Let's start with the basics. Sterling silver is 92.5% silver and the rest is 7.5% copper or other metals. Pure silver is soft, so an alloy is added to make it sturdier to craft jewellery out of. So sterling silver or 925 silver has a purity of 92.5% silver. Sterling silver is less expensive than pure silver and is harder and more durable.

A good way to ensure that your sterling silver jewellery is genuine is to make sure that it is stamped with 925 or .925.

Sterling Silver is durable

If you take care of your sterling silver jewellery, it can be passed down to the next generation. Genuine 925 sterling silver is not cheap, as it is created for a lifetime. At Raw Carat, our collection is created to become family heirlooms, which never go out of style.

Global Trend

If you are a discerning and fashion-conscious jewellery buyer, sterling silver is what you should invest in. Globally, the latest styles and trends in jewellery are being spearheaded by sterling silver.

It has over the years, become a rage with discerning, high-end jewellery buyers. And is slowly replacing expensive gold jewellery.

The fact that sterling silver can be beautifully plated in gold rose gold and white rhodium makes it a popular metal to work the most exquisite designs in.

At Raw Carat we use raw gemstones and partially faceted raw gemstones set in sterling silver. We offer an extensive collection which is in step with contemporary, international trends - keeping you stylish and in vogue!

Incredible Versatility

The most wonderful thing about Sterling silver jewellery is that it can be worn for all occasions and everywhere - at work, for leisure and to add a dash of something special to both casual and party wear.

Sterling silver looks great even when worn with other precious metals. This versatility means, you can wear your sterling silver jewellery with a white gold or platinum piece and still create a stunning look. The colours are close enough to ensure that you won't look like you're mixing up jewellery. Instead, you'll end up creating a whole new image that is uniquely you! 

Hypoallergenic Jewellery

While many of inexpensive base metals, nickel and brass end up irritating your skin, our sterling silver jewellery doesn't contain metal additions that can cause an allergic reaction.

At Raw Carat we ensure that all our jewellery is nickel-free and has hypoallergenic properties. Which means that if you are allergic to nickel or brass, you can wear our pieces without a care in the world. This is very important especially for earrings where the risk of infection is high.

Easy to Maintain

Though silver is a classy metal, it has one issue - tarnish. Your beautiful silver piece starts looking discoloured if not worn regularly.

But, this will not happen easily with Raw Carat jewellery. That's because we plate our jewellery with white rhodium - a metal that is more resistant to tarnishing and gives your sterling silver a whiter, brighter look. Besides, if you wear the pieces regularly, the oils on your skin 'clean' the metal and keep it looking as good as new.

However, just in case your sterling silver jewellery does go dull, there are easy ways to restore its original shine.  Cleaning your jewellery with varnish and a fresh cloth will get the silver sparkling as good as new

So, Sterling Silver Jewelry does work! And designers simply love it and jewellery lovers are lapping it up. But don't just take our word for it. Check out a reputed jeweller today and discover this for yourself.
