“Understanding the difference between solid, sterling and silver-plated jewellery is essential when choosing a piece that suits both your budget and expectations. Sterling silver is the perfect blend of durability and quality for everyday wear. Solid silver, though more precious, is softer and less common in contemporary designs. Silver-plated items, on the other hand, offer an affordable way to enjoy the look of silver – just be mindful that the layer may wear over time.” – Tara West, F.Hinds Silver Buyer

Silver jewellery FAQs
How do I take care of my silver jewellery?
Looking after your silver pieces comes down to how you handle and store them. Silver is a precious metal, so it needs to be treated with care. Contact with dirt and a range of chemicals can cause it to discolour over time. Avoid wearing silver jewellery, such as rings, when doing activities involving your hands, like cleaning, gardening or cooking.
You can give your frequently worn pieces a clean every month or so to keep them in good condition. You can do this in several ways. Some prefer to create a paste made of bicarbonate of soda with lukewarm water, coating the jewellery before gently removing the substance with a microfibre cloth. You can also buy specialised silver jewellery cleaner, which can be applied with a soft cloth before rinsing the item in warm water and drying.
Storing your pieces safely in an airtight box when you're not using them will help reduce wear and tear as well as tarnishing. You can also maintain your silver jewellery's shine with a silver dip.

What is the difference between solid silver, sterling silver and silver-plated jewellery?
These three options come down to the composition of materials used in a piece of jewellery:
• Solid silver: Composed of 99.9% silver, solid silver is more valuable, though it's rare to find solid silver jewellery. Its softness makes it more susceptible to tarnishing over time.
• Sterling silver: Sterling silver is an alloy consisting of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. It's a popular choice for those looking to make a lasting investment in quality jewellery.
• Silver plated: This consists of a base metal, such as brass or copper, coated with a thin layer of silver. While less durable than sterling silver and prone to tarnishing, it offers an excellent, affordable alternative.
What should I consider when silver jewellery shopping?
When thinking about silver jewellery for both men and women, you'll want to take the following into account so you feel fully content with your purchase:
• Material quality: Consider whether you prefer silver-plated or sterling silver pieces, as this choice will impact how well your jewellery withstands wear and tear. This will also influence the price.
• Durability: Thicker silver pieces can withstand more wear and tear compared to daintier options, so assess which might be more fitting for your lifestyle. Similarly, sterling silver is more durable and long-lasting than silver-plated jewellery, which can wear off over time, exposing the base metal beneath.
• Size and fit: Think about the size of the item you'd like, whether it's a necklace with a large pendant or a pair of small huggie hoop earrings. Buying a ring? Use our size guide to get started.
• Embellishments: Are you looking for jewellery with stunning details, such as coloured gemstones or even diamonds? You can also browse designs with intricate details such as engravings.
• Ethical aspects: For many, ethical sourcing is an important factor when silver jewellery shopping. As members of the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), this means we adhere to strict standards for ethical, social and environmental supply chain practices.
