MATERIALS AND CARE

Materials

Our jewelry is made of 925 silver, which is a high-quality and durable material!
925 silver is composed of 92.5% pure silver and the remaining 7.5% copper. This does not mean that it is of poor quality, simply that to create jewelry like the ones we have at EIRA, silver must be malleable, as well as resistant, and if we used pure silver in the process we would not obtain a beautiful product because it is too soft and highly deformable.


All our charms are made 100% by hand by Colombian artisans! Each piece of jewelry has a unique design that starts from scratch and goes through a meticulous process that ends in an exclusive piece with a very special meaning.

What advantages does silver have?

➢ Silver is a precious metal that gives accessories an elegant and subtle touch thanks to its beautiful natural shine.
➢ It has high durability and unlike other types of costume jewelry, silver does not “peel” and retains its texture.
➢ It is hypoallergenic, that is, it is friendly to the skin and very few people experience an allergic reaction.

How to care for my 925 silver jewelry?


Here we give you some tips so that your pendant accompanies you for many years:


➢ Avoid contact of your jewelry with perfumes, creams, makeup, cleaning products, among other chemicals.
➢ If you are going to exercise, go to the pool or the sea, or at bedtime, we recommend removing it.
➢ Store your jewelry in a cool, dry place free from sun exposure, separately from other jewelry.
➢ Clean your jewelry frequently with our polishing cloth to maintain its shine and beauty.
➢ If you wish, you can also clean it at home by submerging it in warm soapy water (do not use a detergent soap) for approximately 10 minutes, and using a soft brush you can remove any dirt that you see. Finally, dry very well with an absorbent cloth.

925 silver is the perfect material to show off your jewelry and feel spectacular all the time!

What is Rose Gold Edition Pink Rhodium Plating?


To make your jewelry look even more beautiful and with a rose gold color that shines dazzlingly, we bathe your 925 silver piece in pink rhodium!
Rhodium is a metal in the platinum family and can be even more expensive than gold or silver due to its scarcity.

Rhodium plating is an immersion electrolysis technique in which your silver piece is immersed in a chemical solution which contains small amounts of this metal. Consequently, the jewel will have a thin layer of rhodium that will give it a completely different color. The rhodium plating, in addition to beautifying your jewelry, gives it an additional layer of protection. However, the rhodium layer will be lost over time in direct relation to the use and care you give it. This is why after a few years it is necessary to give your jewelry a new rhodium plating so that it looks as it did the first time you acquired it.
