Rasta stud is made of sterling silver 92.5. This stud earring features a small circle with Rasta colours and a black herb leaf.  The picture is glued in and lays flat on the nose or ears. With the smaller 3mm diameter studs you can bend it slightly or keep it straight and use as a nose stud. The bigger 5mm Rasta stud earrings are best in the ears.

These Rasta stud earrings  are sent with butterflies. Please do not use the butterfly when using this stud in the nose as this can be quite dangerous if sniffed up the nose. This nose stud can also be worn as a little earring in the ear lobe with the butterflies attached.

Sterling silver meaning

This Rasta stud is made from sterling silver. The butterfly 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!

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.

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!!
