Mother Pearl Mandala Necklace is Sterling Silver, which is the real silver. We love the real shell, mother of pearl centre and the Mandala surround.  It is gorgeous cut out detailing and has highly polished silver on the back. It has such a quality finish.  This Mother Pearl Mandala Necklace  can be purchased with or without a chain. You can of course choose a different chain to the one photographed but we love the chain displayed which has smooth balls.

Meaning of Mandala

Mandalas have a magical meaning in Buddhism and Hinduism. Mandala means sacred circle around which everything revolves, the circle of life, so to speak. Drawing them promotes a sense of symmetry and balance and is said to strengthen different areas of life.

What is sterling silver?

This Mother Pearl Mandala Necklace is made from real silver and features 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.
