Traditional Jewelry — Sterling Silver Jewelry

How do you achieve the perfect combination of classy and cool?  Stick to simple styles that have timeless appeal. Sterling silver jewelry creates an overall polished look and mixes well with other jewelry styles. A simple sterling silver toggle bracelet layers well with other bracelets or bangles, but can also be worn alone for a subtly stunning look.

It’s very important when selecting silver jewelry, to make sure that is made of the highest grade of sterling silver possible, which is .925 sterling silver. This basically stands for the amount of pure silver a piece of jewelry contains. No silver jewelry can be made of 100% silver, because pure silver is too soft for producing items you can wear as jewelry. Manufacturers and designers would not be able to mold it into the styles we all love. Therefore, they use a sterling alloy of silver, which contains the maximum amount of silver possible (92.5%), mixed with other metals to lend support to the design. This metal usually consists of copper, never nickel or lead, which can lead to skin allergies. When shopping for sterling silver jewelry, always keep an eye out for the .925 stamp on the bottom.

At Mademoiselle Jewelry, we carry a wide variety of sterling silver bracelets, sterling silver earrings, sterling silver necklaces, and sterling silver rings, each with its own, unique design and symbolism. Take, for instance, our inspirational Lotus Flower Necklace in Sterling Silver, pictured below. This intricate and beautiful design is represented largely in Buddhist and Hindu cultures, as well as in Egyptian and Christian cultures. The lotus flower starts as a small flower down at the bottom of a pond in the mud and muck. It slowly grows up towards the waters surface continually moving towards the light. Once it come to the surface of the water the lotus flower begins to blossom and turn into a beautiful flower. This flower has become a symbol for awakening to the spiritual reality of life. This makes the perfect gift for someone in need of a little inspiration. Perhaps someone who has been a little down on their luck, but has persevered through tough times and made it out a tougher, stronger person.
