What
is Sterling Silver? Sterling Silver is 92.5% Pure Silver.
The other 7.5% is a hardening agent which is usually copper or sometimes
zinc. Top
What is Fine Silver? Fine silver is 99.9% Pure Silver, with no other metals. Top
What
is Nickel Silver, Tibetan Silver or German Silver? Nickel/German Silver (and recently appearing
'Tibetan Silver' is the generic name for any of a range of Non-Precious
bright silver-grey alloys composed of copper, nickel and zinc. Don't
Be Fooled!! - Despite its name, It contains NO Real Silver!
Other names for Nickle or German Silver are: Nikel Silver, Nickle Silver, "Silver", Afghan Silver, Austrian Silver, Brazilian Silver, Mexican Silver, Nevada Silver, Potosi Silver, Silverite, Sonara Silver, Tyrol Silver, Venetian Silver. Please remember, NONE contain Real Silver. Top
What is Vermeil? Process developed in France in the mid-1700s. France banned production of vermeil early in the 19th century because the process involved the use of mercury. Present-day vermeil is 22k Gold over Sterling Silver produced by a safe electrolytic process. Top
What is Gold Filled? A layer of 10kt (or better) Real Gold Bullion is mechanically bonded under heat and pressure to one or more surfaces of a supporting base metal, then rolled or drawn to a given thickness. In the jewelry industry, the quantity of Gold Must be at leas 1/20th by weight of the total product!! Our Items which contain Gold Filled rings (chain-maille jewelry) are 14kGF (higher than industry standard) and are considered LIFE-TIME PRODUCTS, and the Gold layer WILL NOT Wear Off, as it will in electro-plated products! top
What is PMC (Precious Metal Clay)? Relatively new to the USA & jewelry media, PMC is made of finely powdered Pure Silver, water, and binders. When heated to 800-850 degrees C. the organic binders burn off... leaving Pure 999 Silver! top
What is Niobium? Relatively new to the USA & jewelry media, Niobium (Nb) is a pure element & is known as a refractory metal. The colors result from a coating of oxide over the metal surface. The metal appears colored because the oxide coating is transparent, and causes interference in the light rays reflected from the metal... just like a prism. A similar effect can be seen in the colors on soap bubbles, butterfly wings, bird feathers, and oil on water! Niobium is Hypo-Allergenic -- good for even the most sensitive skin -- and very light-weight. Niobium's name is derived from the Greek Goddess Niobe, daughter of Tantalus! Due to limited quantities geologists have found in the Earth's crust, this Beautiful Metal has a value Higher than Silver! top
What
is Dichroic Glass? Dichroic Glass was created for use by NASA. The glass is coated with metal oxides such as magnesium, titanium and silicon in a vacuum furnace. Dichroic glass magically reflects multiple shades of color depending on the angle from which it is viewed! The word "Dichroic" means "two colors"-- referring to its transmitted color and reflected color. Dichroic coatings are high-tech optical coatings that selectively reflect away certain wavelengths (color) of light, and allow the remaining wavelengths to transmit through. This same effect is seen in nature (peacock feathers, opals, etc.). Dichroic is not inexpensive: it can run $100 to $200 per square foot! top

Are All Your Items Marked? In the USA, The National Gold and Silver Marketing Act does NOT require precious metals to be marked with quality. For many reasons, not all jewelry items are marked. The size or design of some pieces do not lend themselves to quality marking. Findings and components are often not quality stamped leaving the assembler the choice of attaching a mark, perhaps on a jewelry card or chain tab, to the finished piece.
