What is Zirconia?

This is a manmade gemstone it is often likened to a diamond, but it is not a diamond or anything like a diamond except that it can resemble a diamond. Zirconia is used in the manufacturing of jewellery.

Although over time the Zirconia can become scratched and cloudy it is a durable material to use to make long-lasting rings and pendants.

What is Sterling Silver?

Sterling silver is a more affordable version of silver it is made up of 92.5% silver and the remainder is copper. Occasionally sterling silver will discolour and there will be a green tinge which is from the presence of copper in the formulation of the jewellery.

It is possible to shower whilst wearing sterling silver jewellery however there is a chance that it could tarnish so it is not recommended. If your jewellery does start to tarnish it is best to use a mix of white vinegar, water, and baking soda. If stronger chemicals are used on the rings, it could damage the sterling silver.
