Sterling silver rings at low, disocunt prices from GoldenMine.com! Silver was discovered after gold and copper, in the Bronze Age at about 4000 B.C.E. The most well known ancient silver mines were in Laurium, Greece where the silver was mined form a combination silver and lead deposit. The United States became the largest producer of silver in the mid 1900’s after a large mine in Nevada was discovered. Peru and Mexico then surpassed the U.S as the largest suppliers in the 20th century.
Silver is malleable and must be alloyed with other metals to retain shape, therefore most sterling silver jewelry is only 92.5% pure silver. To make sure, check the silver mark on the piece, and if it is made in the United States, it will most likely say .925 or “Sterling”.
One of the drawbacks to silver jewelry is that it is highly reactive with environmental toxins and normal elements such as table salt. There are a good deal of components that will tarnish your silver jewelry, such as mayonnaise and contact with other metals such as gold. The best way to protect your jewelry is to store it individual bags when not being worn. And if a piece happens to become tarnished, a soft cloth and polishing solution can work wonders, or a home remedy of plain white toothpaste and an old toothbrush.
One of the best qualities about silver is that it looks stunning with any gemstone as well as looks great on both men and women. Here at Goldenmine, we offer a large selection of traditional and bold styles of sterling silver rings.
