Guide To Shopping For Sterling Silver Jewelry Online
If you're shopping for sterling silver jewelry via the world wide web, it's important to know some essential terms that can help you to easily identify and choose the pieces that you wish to add to your collection.
Sterling silver is a precious metal, which means that it is measured by the troy ounce weight system. It is said that approximately 31.1 grams of sterling silver equal one troy ounce. Many jewelry experts agree that any piece of jewelry that weighs at least one gram per inch is a bold design, which means a 7" bracelet with 7 grams of silver would be considered a substantial presence. Additionally, an 18" necklace with 18 grams of sterling silver would also be recognized as a bold find.
When shopping online, you may find width measurements noted in either inches or millimeters. It's important to understand the two and how they translate in order to make sure you are getting the perfect piece of jewelry. A 1/4" bracelet or necklace may be listed as 6mm, while a 1/2" design may be noted as 12mm. A 3/4" style equals 18mm, while a 1" width may also be described as 24mm wide. It helps if you have a ruler that gives measurements in both inches and millimeters, which will help you to instantly visualize the width of an item as you shop online.
Sterling silver jewelry is hallmarked with a marking of .925. This number symbolizes the content of sterling silver, which is 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% of another metal, which is typically copper or other alloy as allowed. The hallmark is typically found on the inside band of a ring or on the clasp of a necklace. Earrings are typically hallmarked on the butterfly back or on any surface that can accommodate the identifying mark.
If you are already a lover of sterling silver, then you have probably come to recognize the affordable nature and intricate jewelry designs available for purchase. If you are a beginning collector or are simply looking to build an impressive jewelry wardrobe without spending a fortune, sterling silver jewelry may be your answer. Because it is less expensive than gold, wearers can enjoy a bold presence at a fraction of the cost. Whether you are in the market for a simulated diamond, other gemstone recreation or you prefer genuine gems, you will find it all in sterling silver. If you are searching for a clean look that offers nothing more than a fantastic all-metal design, you will find an equally impressive product line in this popular and precious metal.
As a final thought to shopping for sterling silver jewelry online, always keep in mind that buying a product sight unseen means that you are trusting the retailer to give a complete and truthful description of the product being offered. As such, you should always shop with a reputable company who stands behind their product and their service. Sterling silver jewelry is a beautiful way to showcase your good taste, and you will take even greater pride in knowing that you got a great deal from a deserving retailer who appreciates your business.
