Product Information

Sporty Jewels uses a new sterling silver that is extremely tarnish resistant.  It stays bright and beautiful for weeks, months, for years and requires only an occasional wipe with a soft cloth to remove a smudge or finger mark.

Yes it’s more expensive approx. 10%  higher than standard sterling silver. But all those who are already wearing it, tell us it’s well worth the extra money.

Sporty Jewels Sterling Silver has a modern sterling silver alloy which modifies the traditional sterling silver alloy (92.5% silver + 7.5% copper) by replacing some of the copper with other metallic elements such as zinc, indium and tin. 

Tarnish resistance is of significant importance to both silver workers and the wearer of silver jewellery. Our sterling silver is 3 to 5 times more tarnish resistant than traditional sterling silver.

REMOVING THE BLACK TARNISH FROM STERLING SILVER may be accomplished by placing a double layer of aluminum foil in the bottom of a dish pan, adding hot water and 2 – 3 heaping tablespoons of baking soda. Place the black tarnished item in the dish pan to soak in contact with the aluminum foil for a few minutes and the tarnish will come off. Rinse the items well and buff with soft polishing cloth to restore luster.
