About Sterling Silver Jewelry
History
Experts believe that silver alloy, used today as sterling silver, originated in continental Europe in the 12th century. Pure silver was found to be a soft and easily damageable material. When combined with other metals, most commonly cooper; it produced a tougher material that could be heavily relied on. Throughout the next few centuries, sterling silver was used as currency and household items. It was often used as silverware and became the material used in a proper table setting between 1840 and 1940 throughout the United States and Europe. Because of this popularity, silver companies began to grown. During this craze, companies began to experiment using sterling silver compositions in jewelry as it was a material that was easy to mold into intricate designs and gave a luxurious look with its metallic finish. Today, sterling silver is widely used in all kinds of jewelry styles and shines as beautifully as other precious metals, with the benefit of affordable pricing.
Sterling Silver Composition
While pure silver can be combined with many different types of metals, sterling silver is created when combining pure silver with copper. Sterling silver jewelry can be composed with different amounts of copper but is most often seen with the .925 stamp, meaning that the composition is of 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper. This has been found to be a good combination for maintaining the silver’s durability without harming its sparkle.
Caring For Your Sterling Silver Jewelry
Silver should not come into contact with harsh household chemicals such as bleach, ammonia, or chlorine. To avoid scratches, store silver in a lined jewelry box or pouch, as it is prone to tarnish as it naturally reacts with sulfur or hydrogen sulfide in the air. Cleaning and wearing silver jewelry regularly will prevent this and help maintain its shine. Immediately upon noticing any discoloration, use a gentle polish made specifically for removing tarnish.

The Ideal Gift for A True Friend
By M. Arredondo
Wow what can I really say other than this was the most meaningful gift that caught my eye and my heart told me that it would be an Awesome gift for my Angel. The fact that this Pendant is made of Sterling Silver was an added bonus because Silver or White Gold are her favorites. In addition the size of this pendant and the length of the chain were and added Bonus. What made this even more special are the words "A True Friend Reaches for Your Hand But Touches Your Heart" now if you only knew the True meaning behind these words... To have someone come into your life two years ago & make such a Positive impact, at the same time help to change the outlook in your future. Well to say the least this was meant for my Angel who has been a true Blessing since the day she arrived.

By DiDiva
Very pretty and nice. The person I bought it for loved it. The chain is a little thin for the weight of the heart; otherwise, great.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Beautiful, excellent quality, sturdy/deep inscription
By Fancy Trimmins
Purchased as a gift. The chain is a bit wimpy, but strong enough to support the pendant for occasional wear. If one is going to wear this often, or not remove it at all, I'd recommend a stronger chain.
The pendant is beautifully done. The heart is at least an inch wide, perhaps a bit more in height. (Sorry, already wrapped it for gift so I can't measure it now). The heart is hefty, excellent quality and is highly polished; the inscription is deep and dark enough to be easily read. One must turn the heart over and sideways to read the entire sentiment, but the words are clear, not squished together.
Just a beautiful pendant with a heart warming sentiment. Would like to see more of this pendant with a variety of sentiments available.
