Is sterling silver real silver?

Yes. Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver, alloyed with a small amount of other metal for strength.

Will sterling silver tarnish?

Yes, slowly, with air and skin contact. Store it in a closed pouch and polish it with a silver cloth. Rhodium-plated silver resists tarnish until the plating wears.

Is the gold color permanent?

Plated, vermeil, and gold-filled finishes are layers over another metal. Gold-filled layers are thick and last for years; plating is thinner and wears gradually with friction, lotion, and chlorine.

Can I wear it in the shower or pool?

Take it off to swim, bathe, or use a hot tub: chlorine is hard on the gold-filled layer and chlorine and salt water speed tarnish on sterling silver. If it gets wet, rinse in clean water and pat dry.

Will a pendant fit on it?

It will if the pendant's bail, the loop the chain passes through, is wider than the chain (4.8 mm on this style) and the clasp end can pass through it. An enhancer bail, which opens and clips on, gets around a tight fit.

How fast will it arrive?

In-stock options typically leave within one to five business days after payment is captured. Insured ground shipping is free; next-day and Saturday upgrades are offered at checkout.

Can I return it?
