About Our Sterling Silver

Our sterling silver charms, necklaces, and charm bracelets are made from solid .925 silver—never plated—meaning the metal you see runs all the way through. Each piece contains 92.5% pure silver, blended with 7.5% alloy for added strength and durability.

Sterling silver is naturally hypoallergenic, nickel-free, and built to last. It can develop a soft patina or tarnish over time, but regular wear actually helps keep it shiny—the natural oils from your skin act like a gentle polish. And when tarnish does appear, it’s easily removed with a quick polish or silver-specific cleaner.

Below, we’ve answered the most common questions about our sterling silver—how it wears, how to care for it, and why it’s a timeless choice for everyday jewelry.

Jet Set Candy Sterling Silver FAQs

What type of silver do you use?

All of our silver charms, charm necklaces, and charm bracelets are made from solid .925 sterling silver—never plated. That means each chain contains 92.5% pure silver, blended with 7.5% alloy (typically copper) to improve strength and durability.

Are your silver chains solid or plated?

They are solid sterling silver. We don’t use any plating on our silver necklaces, so what you see is the actual metal all the way through.

Is sterling silver a good option for daily wear?

Yes. Sterling silver is a strong, lightweight, and reliable metal that holds up well to everyday use. It’s naturally hypoallergenic and nickel-free, making it a great choice for those with sensitive skin.

Will a sterling silver necklace tarnish or change color over time?

Yes. Sterling silver naturally oxidizes when exposed to air, moisture, or certain chemicals. However, regular wear actually helps prevent tarnish. The natural oils from your skin can keep silver looking polished and bright. If tarnish does develop, it’s easy to remove with a polishing cloth or silver-specific cleaner.

Do skin oils help keep my silver shiny?

Yes. Sterling silver tarnishes when exposed to sulfur, moisture, and air (oxidation), but regular contact with clean, dry skin can actually slow this down. The natural oils from your skin act as a mild polish, helping maintain the luster of the silver, especially when worn often. That’s why you’ll often hear that “silver loves to be worn" Frequent use can help it look better over time than if it’s left sitting out in the open.

Does sterling silver develop a patina?

Yes. Over time, silver may take on a soft patina or darkened tone. Some people love this as it gives the piece character. If you prefer a bright, shiny finish, it's easy to polish back with a silver cloth.

How should I care for my sterling silver chain?
  • Wipe it down after wear with a soft cloth
  • Use silver polish or a silver-specific cleaner if tarnish develops
  • Store it in a dry, airtight pouch when not in use
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to water, sweat, or chemicals
