Rhodium is a silvery white metal that is known as one of the most expensive metals in the world. It is mostly used for its reflective properties and its great ability to withstand corrosion, which is known as one of the most common reason for tarnishing. When plated to sterling silver, rhodium helps strengthen its resistance to daily tear and offers a look of white gold. Oxidized. For an antique look, oxidized silver chain is the perfect choice for you. Oxidized silver chain is made of sterling silver that has been exposed to oxygen or pressurized environment for a long time. Aside from style, the advantage of oxidized silver chain is that it does not have to be polished and can be exposed to any type of environment. Gold Plated. Our sterling silver chain is layered with yellow gold or rose gold to aceive the look of gold . Whatever type of silver chain, whatever the length, color or width, we are sure that you will find what you need in our collection. Sterling Silver History and Care Sterling Silver History Originating in Europe in the 12th century, sterling silver has been a source of value for everything from table settings to currency for centuries. Sterling silver is a soft metal, yet when combined with copper, produces a tough material that could be heavily relied on. Due to these qualities it is the perfect material to mold into intricate jewelry designs, giving a luxurious and elegant look. Sterling Silver Composition Sterling silver is created when combining pure silver with copper at a ratio of 92.5 percent silver to 7.5 percent copper to maintain its durability without harming its sparkle. Sterling Silver Care Silver should not come into contact with harsh household chemicals. To avoid scratches, store in a lined jewelry box or pouch, as it is prone to tarnish. Upon noticing any discoloration, use a gentle polishing cloth. From Factory Direct To You Through the years our company has been able to witness firsthand the production process of fine gold and sterling silver jewelry since we have manufacturers who create sterling silver chain from smelting to final polishing and packaging. We also have ones who start from mixing alloys. We watched as the sterling silver gets poured into a casting machine, solidified, then formed into a rod. We observed as the sterling silver rod is turned into a coil then into a wire, which is then distributed to different types of machines that will create the silver chain we need. We were also given the opportunity to have a hands-on experience of soldering the clasps on the silver chain. Smelting is a procedure wherein a metal is extracted from its ore by heating beyond melting point, usually with the presence of oxidizing agents. Through smelting, pure metals such as silver ingots and gold ingots are produced. Each KoolJewelry silver chain comes with an anti tarnish tab which helps avoid tarnishing, and is placed inside a zip lock type bag, then packaged in a KoolJewlery branded black velvet pouch; ready for gift giving.
