What is Sterling Silver?

FortySeven jewellery is made from Sterling Silver, which is made up of 92.5% Silver and 7.5% other metals. Pure Silver is impractical as it is too soft to shape and wear, making Sterling Silver the highest quality Silver used in jewellery.

Care for Silver Jewellery

Sterling Silver naturally tarnishes over time as the 7.5% other metals, such as Copper, react to the air. Perfumes, hair spray, hand gel, perspiration etc. These accelerate tarnishing so here are some tips to keep your products in great condition;

• Polish with a Silver Cloth (only applicable for dark silver/oxidised pieces)
• Store in its FortySeven pouch
• Avoid contact with chemicals such as perfume, hair spray and deodorant
• Remove jewellery before showering, swimming, exercising

How to store your jewellery

• Silver will tarnish in direct sunlight or air so store in a dark, dry & cool place
• Fasten chains before storing to avoid tangling
• Store jewellery separate from other pieces so they don't get scratched in storage
• Store your jewellery in the FortySeven pouch that you received it with
