Stainless Steel ≈ 925 Sterling Silver > Silver Plated

• Made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper

• Will tarnish over time, but if proper care is taken, it can last for a life-time

• For chains, we cling to use 925 sterling silver or 316L stainless steel - They can better prevent tarnishing compared to silver plated.

• For the finish of necklaces(clasps and extenders), we cling to use 316L stainless steel - The finish is the part that will easlily wear off over time. Stainless steel's excellent performance in durability can ensure the longevity of your piece.

• For pendants, we will use 925 sterling silver or silver plated - This two are more handmaking-friendly and have a better design potantial than stainless steel.
