More on Sparkling Silver Medallion Jewelry

Elegant, attractive and sophisticated, silver medallion jewelry is a raging fashion trend. Regardless of the occasion, medal-shaped earrings and pendants made of silver can complement any dress type and help grab spotlight. Silver has always been regarded as a metal that facilitates the expression of one’s sense of style and helps enhance the glamour quotient. Over the past decades, the demand and popularity of silver has increased due to its relatively low price as compared to gold and platinum.

Silver Medallion Jewelry: Moroccan Pattern

Silver medallion jewelry is very popular with replica jewelry manufacturers and has been inspired by graphic designs on Moroccan tiles. These tiles have distinct features of Moroccan art and architecture, and are popular in the US, owing to their exotic origins and geometric styles.

Silver Medallion Jewelry: Types

The most beautiful selection of silver medallion jewelry can be obtained at online stores. Some popular types include:

* Pure Silver – The white metallic luster might be in high demand, but pure silver is malleable. Hence, silver jewelry is usually made in combination with other metals.

* Oxidized Silver – Oxidized silver jewelry, although has no luster, boasts a versatility that allows it to be matched with any attire, on any occasion.

* German Silver – This jewelry contains approximately 55% copper, 16% zinc and 27% nickel. German silver is hard and resistant to corrosion.

* Sterling Silver – Made up of 92.5% of silver and 7.5% assorted alloy, sterling silver is very durable.

Silver Medallion Jewelry: Maintenance

Such jewelry, if not cared for, is susceptible to tarnishes and scratches. Here are some household maintenance tips to ensure its longevity:

CleaningLukewarm baking soda and water solution, ammonia and water solution in the ratio of 1:1 or a toothpaste solution is recommended for cleaning. You can also use distilled or filtered water. A soft cotton cloth or a toothbrush with soft bristles can be used. Silver jewelry must always be cleaned lengthwise. Cleaning in circular motion increases the risk of scratches.

Storing - Silver is sensitive and contact with soap, sweat, dust or detergent can blemish its beauty. Exposure to sun may leave a purplish residue on its surface. After cleaning, silver ornaments must be properly dried. Wrapping it with tissue paper or a soft piece of cloth is recommended. Also, ensure that silver jewelry is not kept in contact with diamonds or other such hard stones.
