Sterling silver jewelry has been a popular commodity for thousands of years. One of the obvious reasons is the affordability over other precious metals gold and platinum. The large variety of sterling silver jewelry requires certain knowledge in order to choose the right piece and also keep it in good condition as long as possible. The followings are the most common questions concerning sterling silver jewelry.

How do I clean sterling silver jewelry?
It depends. Usually, it is sufficient to use a jewelry cloth (with two layers of cloths in different colors) that you can get from a jewelry accessory store. Don’t use any hard object to clean sterling silver jewelry; even paper towel could scratch the surface. You should rub any dirt off using a jewelry cloth, not fingernails. Silver-dip is another commonly used sterling silver jewelry cleaner, which can also be obtained from jewelry store. The entire silver jewelry is immerged in the solution for half a minute to a minute and then rinsed with water. Make sure the silver jewelry is not plated with any other metal before using the silver-dip or the plating will be damaged.

Where do I store sterling silver jewelry?
It is very important to store sterling silver jewelry properly when it is not used. The ideal place to store sterling silver jewelry is cool and away from sunlight. Heat and light will turn a silver jewelry yellow and cause it to tarnish quickly. Even indoor light source like florescent lights or light bulbs turn the color of silver jewelry over time. If you expect not to wear a certain piece for a long time, put it in a air-tight bag and store it in a drawer.

What types of silver jewelry plating are there?
Unlike gold and platinum, however, pure silver is rather unstable and oxides rather quickly. Therefore, silver jewelry is usually plated with another metal to protect it from tarnishing. There are two kinds of plating for silver jewelry: nickel and rhodium plating. Nickel plating has a more whitish look and rhodium plating has a darker look. Rhodium is used to plate white gold and platinum jewelry and is much more expensive than nickel, and it give better protection to the silver underneath. On the other hand, some silver jewelry is not plated. For instance, high polished sterling silver jewelry does not have any plating and the surface is polished by machine to render shininess. Also, “oxidized silver” jewelry is oxidized on purpose to give a dark antique look and is not plated with any other metals.

How do I know the purity of my silver jewelry?
The purity of sterling silver refers to 92.5% of silver in the alloy. In order to confirm the purity, the metal itself has to be sent to a laboratory to be tested. However, most of the sterling silver jewelry produced nowadays has a “925″ stamp to indicate the authenticity of the jewelry. Although there are cases where stamps are forged and the metal is either not silver or the purity is not as stated, they are very rare.

How about engraving and resizing?
Engraving and resizing of sterling silver rings is rather simple due to the ductility and relatively low melting point. However, make sure your jeweler understands the process of refinishing the ring and that they possess the necessary equipment to do so. Not all jewelers have the equipment to recoat the rhodium plating after cutting and welding the ring. Also, rings set with stones are sometimes not resizable because resizing might cause the stones to pop out. Such settings include channel and invisible settings.

Can I wear sterling silver jewelry if I am allergic to nickel?
Yes, just make sure the jewelry is pure sterling silver, not plated with nickel. Even Rhodium plated sterling silver jewelry sometimes contains a nickel layer between the silver and the rhodium to act as an adhesive. Hence, buy only high polished sterling silver jewelry if you are allergic to nickel.

Everyone has different needs but as a rule of thumb, if you are trying to save money, you should NEVER go to an authorized Rolex dealer to purchase your watch. As policy, you will be forced to pay full retail for their watch. Their are plenty of non authorized Rolex dealers who offer the same exact merchandise at a discounted price. The key is finding one that is trustworthy with a solid reputation and willing to create a positive buying experience.

The only Real difference between authorized and non authorized Rolex Dealer’s is that the consumer’s 2 year Rolex warranty will most likely not be honored through the manufacturer if purchased from a non AD but who cares! Most “resellers” / Non Authorized Rolex Dealers offer their own supplemental two year warranty which follows the same guidlines as the manufacturers warranty, not to mention that 9 times out of ten, you won’t need to use the warranty because most Rolex watches do not need to be serviced until after the 2 year warranty is up!

That being said, If you are in the market for a Rolex Daytona, a Rolex President, or a Rolex Submariner, or any Rolex watch for that matter, there are always good deals to buy if you know where to look.

When buying from a “Reseller” who discounts merchandise, be sure to buy your watch from a dealer who has an actual retail store. Many websites are dealers who operate out of their garage, or a small office and do not have watchmakers on site. The most reputable and trustworthy dealers have storefronts that allow customers to come and inspect the merchandise before buying.

Modern South Asian brides often begin their wedding planning by looking for the perfect Indian bridal wear that reflects their style and personality. Often, this is made a priority even before selecting wedding colors, favors, cakes and centerpieces. The discerning bride-to-be then selects a wedding colour palette that complements and offsets her dress, to avoid clashing or overshadowing the beauty of her bridal lengha. A theme that is unique to the couple begins to emerge!

An important consideration in choosing the right bridal lengha is the venue of the wedding. Is it a destination wedding? Will it be held at a place of worship? Is there more than one ceremony or function? The location of the wedding will have a lot to do with the type of bridal lengha that would be suitable. Some couples choose to have a traditional ceremony followed by a reception, in which case two completely different looks may be desirable: one that embraces the beauty of Indian or Pakistani culture or family traditions and another that may be a reflection of the bride’s unique style. A destination wedding may require a lighter lengha, one that is a fusion of western cuts with eastern embroidery and beadwork. The options really are endless.

South Asian brides are lucky in that there is an infinite array of colours and styles that they may choose from. They are limited only by what is available on the market and their own budgets. The traditional reds and maroons are available with anything from light to heavy embroidery, depending on the bride’s preference. Shades of blue, aquamarine and sea green are also popular these days, as are lilac and rose. And of course, a fusion lengha of off-white or white with rich embroidery in silver or antique gold always looks stunning.

We at Lasaani Bridal would be pleased to offer our experience to assist you in finding a bridal dress that is right for you. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for a consultation!
