SILVER STATEMENT COLLECTION: Lustrous silver, known as argent in some languages, has been prized for centuries in cultures around the globe. Our silver jewelry pieces make a shining statement, celebrating the radiance of this favored metal in a variety of iconic geometric and totemic shapes in fine polished and satin finishes. Three magically iridescent faceted moonstones are set asymmetrically into silver-plated brass in this show-stopping statement ring. Jewelry made of brass and silver will naturally oxidizes over time, developing a beautiful patina that some collectors prize. To restore your jewelry piece's original shine, start by cleaning with a soft cloth. You can also polish using a mixture of equal parts lemon juice and vinegar, combined with enough baking soda to form a paste. An alternate cleaning option is to use opaque toothpaste and a soft toothbrush. With either cleaning solution, rinse the paste off, dry your jewelry immediately. Do not use cleaning solutions directly on any stones on your jewelry. Never use bleach, ammonia, alcohol or acetone to clean your jewelry. When wearing brass or silver jewelry directly on the skin, normal oxidation can result in a temporary, non-toxic skin discoloration that is easily washed off with soap and water. FURTHER NOTES: When not wearing your jewelry, it is best to store it in a cool, dry place or in small bags to minimize exposure to oxidation-causing air and humidity.
