Silver tarnishes, and we would rather say so now. It is not damage. It is silver reacting with air, and it lifts off in thirty seconds with a polishing cloth. Anyone selling you silver that never tarnishes is selling you plating over something cheaper, and when that plating wears through, what is underneath is not silver.

59:T4ba,

Solid 925 sterling silver. Real silver all the way through, never brass and never gold-filled. Where a piece carries a rhodium or white gold finish over the silver, we say so on the page. Set with real moissanite, not cubic zirconia and not glass.

Carat options: 1 ct.

Moissanite has a dispersion of 0.104 against a diamond’s 0.044, which means it throws roughly two and a half times the fire: the rainbow flash you actually notice across a room. It sits at 9.25 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond, and unlike a diamond it has no cleavage plane, so there is no line along which it can split.
