Silver jewelry (925)

Our jewelry is 95.2% pure silver. Why not 100%? Because silver is a very soft metal and therefore requires the addition of harder metals such as copper to make it more resistant. In this way, we get a silver-based material that is ideally suited for the manufacture of our treasures. Rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets and even pendants made of 925 silver should be engraved with the number. In the case of a ring, it can be on the inside of the ring wall. Silver necklaces usually have an attempt at the clasp or at the point where the chain connects with the clasp. Earrings are pieces of jewelry that come in different shapes and sizes, so look for the smoothest spot to find the attempt of silver.

Copper is an ideal solution for a metal such as silver. Only 7.5% of copper allows the creation of delicate but durable jewelry models. High silver content and optimal durability is a combination that allows us to create unique jewelry. One that can serve you for a long time.

Be 100% sure!

- Silver 925 is odorless.

- There will never be an attraction between the magnet and the 925 silver, if it does, it means that there are more common metals in the silver.

- Soft, prone to scratching. Silver 925 is a dedicated material for sensual jewelry, if it is resistant to abrasions or scratches, it means that the jewelry does not contain 92.5% pure silver.

- Combination of Silver 925 and Nickel. This mixture of metals, although beautiful, similar to white gold, can cause allergies. Make sure what metals were used to make the models you want to buy.

- Silver 925 has a distinctive sound. This feature is intended for the experts of 925 silver. Too low sound, which is produced when the silver is tapped with a coin, may also be a sign of a low precious metal alloy.

18 karat gold plated jewelry

Gold plating is the process of applying a layer of gold to a surface made of another material. In the case of NUBE, it is 925 sterling silver. This method accompanies us when creating luxury designs in a gold version. The maximum gold layer is 0.5 microns, making the gold plating of extremely high quality. In some jewelry shops two coats of 0.5 microns are applied. Such jewelry can be worn for up to several years. In the NUBE workshop we also use the 'double bath' method. The 24 karat gold is intended for the first layer, which completely covers the silver of the jewelry. The second layer is 18 karat gold with a warm and delicate tone, which is used to finish and enhance the effect. 925 silver gold plating is all about refining jewelry, giving it an attractive appearance, and creating opportunities for women who like this shade of jewelry accessories.
