Silver
 
Silver has been considered a highly valued metal since ancient times by people across the world. You'll find bracelets, necklaces, earrings and other accessories crafted of this precious metal.

Like gold, silver in its pure state is too soft to be used in jewelry. Silver is combined with other metals (like copper) to increase its strength. In order to be called "sterling silver," it must contain at least 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% or less of other metals. Sterling silver is significantly more durable than regular silver.  You'll find it stamped in various ways (such as "sterling" or "925") to indicate its content. Jared only offers sterling silver jewelry.

Although some jewelry metals are resistant to tarnish, silver is not. If you have a silver piece that you do not wear very often, tarnish can build on its surface. Regular polishing with silver cleaner can be a quick and easy solution. It's important to clean tarnish before it builds. Otherwise, it can cause long-term damage to your jewelry.
