Alexandrite Silver Dangle Earrings feature real alexandrite stones encased in sterling silver 92.5.  Each stone has been cut so it is multi faceted. There is an opening in the back side of the earring to allow the light to shine through. These are perfect earrings if you have a purple or black outfit and need a match. The hooks and centre wires are sterling silver 92.5. Alexandrite looks a bit like amethyst but it is a deeper, richer colour. I used to travel to Nepal  and hand select these pieces.

These Alexandrite Silver Dangle Earrings also have healing qualities, as they are real semi precious stones.

Alexandrite symbolism: balance, transformation, and renewal, reflecting its dynamic nature. It is believed to bring good fortune, creativity, and emotional well-being to its wearer. If you are astrologically inclined, Alexandrite is a stone for Gemini and Aries.

Sterling Silver meaning

These  Alexandrite Silver Dangle Earrings  are made of sterling silver and feature a 92.5 stamp. This means it is 92.5% fine silver with no more than 7.5% of copper or other metals. This formula is internationally accepted and it gives sterling silver the hardness and the tolerance to work with. Anything higher than 92.5 would be too soft and tarnish too quickly. When you buy sterling silver from us, we can guarantee it is just that!

If you see the words silver plated, that means it only has a coating of sterling silver over another alloy. This will fade over time and is not able to be polished. Our sterling silver products are not plated but sterling silver all the way through-- nothing but the good stuff for you!!

Sterling Silver care tips

To keep your sterling silver looking its best, use a silver polishing cloth or silvo on an old rag and give it a gentle rub. This will give your jewellery back its brilliant shine! Silver will tarnish from being exposed to air but will take a good six weeks to discolour. Items that are worn constantly will take a lot longer! To preserve the shine on your silver avoid contact with ammonia, alcohol, fingernail polish remover or turpentine. ALWAYS remove sterling silver jewellery while in natural hot pools because of the high sulphur content in the water. Do not use silver dip. Dip cleaners work for the first few times but it puts a layer on the silver and can discolour stones and shell. Toothpaste is also not a good idea as it is too abrasive.
