Product Quality:
Here at Stormy Moon Jewelry Design we strive to use the best quality
products we can.
About the wire used in our hand crafted designs:
Sterling Silver – 92.5% Silver, 7.5% Copper (nickel free)
We use .925 Sterling Silver instead of pure silver due to the
durability of the wire. The copper added increases the overall strength of
the wire and is not scratched as easily as almost pure silver wire.
14k Gold Filled – Gold Filled wire is 100 times more durable than gold
plated wire. The wire is created by forming a tube of gold and then
filling the tube with a base metal, usually jeweler’s brass. The gold
content is at least 1/20th of the total wire content. While it is not pure
gold, its durability is hard to surpass for this affordable alternative to
using 14k gold wire. Given its durability and affordability items you
purchase can be enjoyed for a life time.
Copper Wire – while I use copper while very rarely in my work, there
are some designs that need the beautiful depth of color that copper
brings. When used, it will be specified in the Product Description. Due to
coppers natural properties it will tend to change color as it ages, but
can easily be shined up again if desired.
