Why You Need To Start Wearing Sterling Silver Jewellery

Sterling silver is a timeless, investment piece that has captured the hearts of jewellery lovers for centuries. Known for its beauty, durability, and versatility, sterling silver jewellery remains a staple in any collection.

What is 925 Sterling Silver

Sterling silver is an alloy made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper. This combination enhances the strength and durability of the silver, making it perfect for jewellery. Pure silver is too soft for most everyday items, so by creating a sterling silver alloy, you get the best of both worlds: beautiful silver jewellery that can withstand daily wear.

Why Choose Sterling Silver Jewellery

1. Luxury without breaking the bank

Sterling silver offers an affordable alternative to white gold or platinum while still delivering a luxurious look. Our sterling silver also has a layer of rhodium plating, which adds shine to the jewellery, subtly adding a touch of both everyday wear and special occasions.

2. Hypoallergenic/Sensitive Skin Friendly

Many people with sensitive skin prefer sterling silver because it is less likely to cause an allergic reaction. 

3. Versatile & Timeless:

Sterling silver jewellery can be worn with almost anything, making it a versatile and chic addition to your wardrobe. Its classic, elegant style is perfect for those who appreciate timeless jewellery that can be passed down through generations.

Does Sterling Silver Tarnish?

One of the most common questions people have is, “Does sterling silver tarnish?” The short answer is yes, but don’t worry! Tarnish is a natural process that occurs when silver reacts with elements in the air. Luckily, sterling silver is easy to maintain.

Here are a few tips for keeping your Minimalist Lab sterling silver jewellery looking its best:

Store properly

Keep your jewellery in a dry, air-tight container or pouch when not in use to prevent tarnishing.
