About Fine Silver: 999 fine silver is pure silver that is not mixed with any other metal. It is the whitest noble metal on Earth. Pure fine silver is softer than sterling silver alloy.
About Black Fine Silver: Black Fine Silver of this caliber that is naturally produced through an oxidation process has genuine deep gray to black overtones depending on the light. The soft satiny luster results from hand-shine polishing.
The black finish produced by natural oxidation processes wears down over time to reveal the lovely silver underneath. The aged muted gray coloration is very desirable and many customers of black fine silver love the softer antiqued metal appearance. However, the natural black oxidization of fine silver is typically achieved by leaving the jewelry out in the open air for several days. Also, where a more treated black coating is desired, fine silver jewelry can be professionally plated in black rhodium or ruthenium.
Care: Fine silver jewelry can last generations with gentle wear and care ~ in the jewelry industry, we call it LOVE. To prevent damage to the necklace when not being worn, store it inside the box provided (or in a soft protective pouch away from all other jewelry).
After wear, gently wipe necklace with the untreated soft clean microfiber cloth provided. This cloth will remove fingerprints and residues. If needed to remove more stubborn grime and oils, gently wash necklace in warm sudsy water with mild soap only, using the microfiber cloth to wipe away all residues.
Never use abrasives, detergents, harsh agents, chemicals, or silver jewelry cleaners on this necklace. And never clean this necklace in an ultrasonic or steam cleaner. These products and methods can completely wear off the black oxidized finish and permanently damage the fine silver metal itself.
