Sterling silver jewelry is a beautiful way to reflect your unique personality or provide the perfect gift for someone you care about. Sterling silver has been an extremely popular material for jewelry making for centuries but it became especially popular in the United States during the 1870’s. Hallmarked 925 for purity, with proper care sterling silver earrings can be passed down through generations.  Sterling silver earrings are available in a wide variety of patterns, designs and styles. Popular choices include classic hoops earrings (in a wide range of sizes) to simple post earrings or elegant dangle earrings. Animal designs, whimsical holiday themes and classic shapes such as hearts or dream catchers are all elegant choices too.

Sterling silver was first used in Europe during the 12th century although the term “sterling†emerged in England during the 13th century. The origins of the term “sterling†could have come from many sources but most likely grew from terms relating to coinage in Europe. Sterling silver has been used in the United States and Europe since the 1800’s and was used for everything from flatware to jewelry. The 925 hallmark refers to the purity of the silver used (fine silver is too soft to produce most objects so it is typically mixed with copper to give it added strength).

Sterling silver earrings are produced today – allowing you to create or enhance your current collection. When beginning your collection, it is important to remember a few simple tips. First, as the purity of silver used decreases the risk for tarnish and corrosion increases. Sterling silver earrings may require polishing over time to maintain their shine. Second, store your sterling silver earrings by wrapping them or in a separate container when being moved or transported to protect the surface from scratches – the high shine of silver can be damaged if stored with other items.

Sterling earrings are readily available online as well as in many home decorating catalogs. Search for sterling silver hallmarked 925 to ensure high quality and not silver plated earrings which can tarnish and turn green over time. These sterling silver charms can be found online through SilverAndGold.com and they offer free assistance and help.
