Sterling Silver Pendant : What is it?

sterlingsilverpendants1

Sterling silver pendants are used to accent and decorate silver necklaces. They contain 92.5% silver and a small amount of copper and zinc. This makes them more durable and affordable than pure silver pendants, which are too soft and delicate for regular use. They are also less prone to dents and tarnishing, and are easy to clean with cloth and polishing solution.

Choosing Sterling Silver Pendants (Buying Tips)

Luster: Choose a sterling silver pendant with a smooth, shiny surface. Make sure it will not fade or tarnish easily. Look for one that comes with a polishing solution so that you can keep its luster at all times. Ask your dealer if they offer cleaning or re-polishing services as well.

Size:
Choose a sterling silver pendant that matches the size and construction of your chain. Large pendants are suitable for thicker chains, but may snap off when used with light, delicate chains. If you have a smooth snake chain, consider a slide pendant. They offer fewer design options, but they will protect your chain from scratches and damage.
