Silver is one of the prettiest metals out there - especially in the jewelry making industry. However, with everything in the world as it is today, how can you tell if it is real? Today we are going to go through a few little tests you can do to tell if the silver you have is real.

Sterling silver is a popular option for jewelry. However, many consumers wonder if sterling silver will actually tarnish. Sterling silver is more durable than regular silver. But does it tarnish?

Storing jewelry the proper way is critical to ensure that your favorite pieces last longer and shine like new!

Here are a few jewelry storage tips that will help make your life easier and your pieces happy, healthy and shiny!
