In our view, sterling silver jewelry is always fashionable. It is also long-lasting and less expensive than gold. In shopping for sterling silver, it is important to recognize authentic labels. Sterling silver is 92.5% silver and often denoted as 925. Jewelry labeled as “sterling” is another indicator. Silver plated jewelry on the other hand has a thin layer of silver on top of some other metal such as brass. Whether you are seeking earrings, chain or cuff jewelry, rings, or more, there are plenty of sterling silver options from black owned brands.

I think silver looks better on me than gold. Love that you feature different merchants to buy fro,
I have a sensitivity to some sterling silver but I’m happy to see so many options. I’m going to start exploring!
Love this selection! With me having a nickel allergy, I can only wear real sterling silver jewelry plus I like to support black owned brands so this is going to come in handy for the future. Thanks!!
