How To Test 925 Sterling Silver Jewelry Nickel Free

Sterling silver contains 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper, so it is harder and stronger than pure silver (99.9 percent), making it excellent for jewelry. It is most popular as an alternative for people who carve the popular white-metal look. And it is more affordable than gold yet it is classified as a precious metal.

The standards of purity levels of precious metals are different around the world. For example, the United Kingdom has a very strict health policy against wearing nickel jewellery that commonly cause skin allergy. Example 2: In order to bear the name "silver" in the US, silver alloys must contain at least 92.5 percent pure silver.

Manufacturers most frequently use nickel to plate cheap sterling silver jewelry to give it a longer lasting high shine. Other quality jewelry manufacturers commonly use palladium or rhodium (platinum group metal) for plating instead.
Sterling silver, in it's original state without any metal plating, is a luminous silver white in color. Palladium or rhodium plating would give sterling silver a higher polish shine and look.

The description or term "nickel silver", actually contains no silver at all: It's a combination of base metals - copper, nickel, and zinc - that merely resembles silver metal in color.
Nickel is a type of metal alloy, used to produce coins, pennies, and nickels. You'll notice that coins in your hand for some extended time feels dirty or it gives out a 'lead' scent. For the same health reason, generally, people get a sensitive or allergic reaction to wearing nickel; copper or bronze alloy metal jewelry.

A simple test can quickly tell if your jewelry contains nickel or has nickel plating. Using a piece of fridge magnet, touch the magnet onto the jewelry. Nickel alloy jewelry will stick to the magnet.

How to Buy and Choose Gemstone Jewelry


Chances are you are passionate about gems.

What is a Gem? Most gems are minerals: natural, inorganic (non living matter) materials with specific chemical compositions and usually characteristic structure. The 4 most valued gems in the world today are the diamond, ruby, sapphire and emerald. Following suit is a wide spectrum of colored stone gems commonly used in precious metal alloy such as platinum, gold and silver jewelry.

Inorganic, meaning composed of or arising from, a non living matter like gems such as diamonds, rubies, topaz etc.

Organic, meaning once living, or produced by a living organism (plant or animal) like pearls, amber, coral and ivory.

The 3 Traits of all Gems

A substance isn’t automatically considered a gem just because it is used in jewelry. Items like bones, wood, hair or plastic have been used in jewelry, but it does not place them in the same category as rubies, pearls and amber.

To be a gem, a substance must possess some degree of beauty, rarity and durability.

Beauty
Color – This is perhaps the most subjective factor as beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. The No.1 rule to wearing color stones: There are no rules. Colored gemstones make subtle and elegant matching accessories without making one look over dressed on color. Many people also wear natural colored gemstones to synthetic (manmade) stones because of their crystal healing and meditational properties.

Lustre – The surface of a gem in reflected light, is probably the most captivating factor of a gemstone. Most gems are polished to a high luster (all shapes) as a final product. For pearls, they are partly priced based on how smooth and sharp a reflection is off a pearl’s surface.

Transparency – Is the 3rd factor in play as it describes the level of light allowed to pass through a stone. The most priced gems in the world are transparent, but there are also many popular and priced translucent stones such as Jade, Amber or opaque stones like Turquoise and Lapis Lazuli.

Rarity
Some gems might be priced and considered more rare than others. Gem-quality benitoite and red beryl – each only found in one place on earth – are occasionally used in jewelry. But rarity doesn’t always make a gem valuable because few people would have heard of them therefore demand is unpredictable compared with common stones in the market backed with million dollar ad campaigns. Often shrewd marketing can sway consumer preference. However in order to run a successful campaign, the gem must be readily available and in sufficient quantities to stay in the market and in the minds of the public for a period of time.

Durability
Durability is the combination of three factors: hardness, toughness and stability.

Hardness – Relates to the surface of a gem and how well a gemstone resists scratches and abrasion. For example the topaz is relatively resistant to scratches, but it has poor toughness, lesser than jade.

Toughness – Relates to its internal substance and how well a gemstone resists breaking, chipping and cracking. Jade is not as hard as some gems, but it has exceptional toughness, which makes it superior for delicate carvings.

Stability - Measures how resistance a gemstone is to light, heat and chemicals. The cleaning solution that make sapphire sparkle can damage a peridot (not as durable as sapphire). Likewise, everyday sunlight can fade a kunzite over time.
