SILVER JEWELLERY CARE & MAINTENANCE Our Silver jewelry is cast using .925 silver casting grain.This means that 92.5% of your Quadri silver piece is made of fine silver, while the remaining 7.5% is a careful mixture of alloys that help keep the silver hard so it can best withstand day to day wear. Because silver is not naturally perfectly bright, we finish all of our silver cast pieces with a special plating called “silvering”,“rhodium” or “gold plating”. Like any plating, “silvering” , “rhodium” and “gold plating” can wear out over time especially when exposed to certain cleaning products, soaps and chemicals. This breakdown of the plating exposes the sterling silver which may tarnish. Tarnishing is a natural occurrence on sterling silver jewelry, and many find the splotchy grayish tone undesirable.Be sure to remove silver jewelry when cleaning, washing hands, using lotions or hand sanitizes, before showering, swimming and all activities of this nature. DISCLAIMER Quadri Jewels are intended for adults. They are intended exclusively for aesthetic / decorative use.The company assumes no responsibility for any damage caused by improper use of the object (abrasions, bruises, suffocation, skin irritations, etc.)
