Round Hole in Square Peg Stud Earrings feature a round hole in the middle of a square peg. They are real sterling silver 92.5.  I just had to buy these because that is what I thought of when I saw these simple wee square studs with a hole. The expression is that you cant fit a square peg in a round hole. This expression means that someone may be in a situation or doing something that does not suit them at all or they don’t seem to fit in. But my take on this is, you can put a round hole in a square peg. So maybe to fit in or achieve your goal, just take an alternative path, mix it up and get there the way you feel is right. Go the people who don’t fit the mould I say. We all belong here and have our place.

Sterling silver meaning

These Round Hole in Square Peg Stud Earrings are 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!

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.

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!!
