Why Silver Jewelry is Affordable:
Silver is a precious metal, but it is more abundant and easier to extract from the earth than gold or platinum. This makes it a more affordable option for jewellery makers, and that cost-saving is often passed on to the consumer. Additionally, because silver is a soft metal, it is easier to work with and can be moulded into intricate designs with relative ease. This means that jewellery makers can create intricate, high-quality pieces that are still affordable for their customers.

Don't Let Tarnish Tarnish Your Day: Tips for Keeping Your Silver Jewellery Shiny
So many of you, our amazing customers have beautiful silver jewellery, belt buckles & even silverware that is pure 925 sterling silver! We know you battle with silver tarnishing as much as we do in-store here.
Did you know; Silver tarnishes because it reacts with sulfur and other pollutants in the air, creating a black or brownish film on the surface of the metal. This process is known as oxidation. The moisture in the air and the presence of other chemicals, like methane gas from our lovely cows… can accelerate the tarnishing process.
Keeping your silver jewellery dry is the BEST way to slow the tarnish process down: Moisture is one of the primary causes of tarnishing.
Avoid wearing your jewellery while swimming, showering, & hot tubbing!
If you do wear your jewellery in these places, ensure you dry off the entire piece before heading outside.
It is also best NOT to keep your jewellery box in the bathroom; we do not want that humidity held in.
While tarnishing can be unsightly, it does not necessarily mean that your silver is damaged or no longer usable.
Tarnishing can be removed with the proper cleaning methods and products.
Regular cleaning and proper storage can help to minimize tarnishing and keep your silver jewellery and other items looking shiny and new.
