Selection Criteria

What to look for when choosing fine silver jewellery

Silver jewellery spans casual everyday fashion to high-end gem-set masterworks; evaluate these key criteria.

For earrings, verify post length and clasp tightness. For pendants, ensure the bail diameter accommodates your preferred chain width.

Fineness and Protective Coatings

Ensure 925 hallmark stamps and inquire whether the piece features anti-tarnish rhodium or e-coating.

Clasps and Structural Hinges

Check lobster claw spring tension, box clasp safety catches, and ear wire closures for daily security.

Gemstones and Setting Integrity

Confirm whether stones are secured in hand-set prongs, bezels, or adhesive mounts.

Maintenance

How to care for silver jewellery and prevent tarnishing

Silver naturally reacts with atmospheric sulphur compounds; proper storage and care maintain its lustrous appearance.

  • Store silver jewellery in dry, airtight pouches or lined compartments away from humidity.
  • Avoid wearing silver while swimming in chlorinated pools or thermal sulphur springs.
  • Apply perfumes, hairsprays, and cosmetics before putting on your jewellery.
  • Clean polished silver using dedicated microfibre polishing cloths rather than abrasive pastes.
  • Bring delicate gem-set or rhodium-plated pieces to our Starowiślna workshop for periodic ultrasonic inspection.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are all silver pieces at BigDIAMOND made of sterling silver 925?

Yes. All silver jewellery in our collection is crafted in certified sterling silver 925, fully compliant with Polish Assay Office standards.

Why does some silver jewellery turn dark or tarnish?

Silver reacts naturally with sulphur compounds in the air and skin acidity. Our rhodium-plated silver pieces feature an electroplated barrier that prevents oxidation and maintains a brilliant shine.

Can rhodium plating on silver be refreshed?

Yes. Our Kraków goldsmith workshop performs ultrasonic cleaning, polishing, and electrolytic re-rhodium plating to restore pieces to pristine showroom condition.

Can I wear silver jewellery in the shower or swimming pool?

We advise removing silver jewellery before showering, swimming, or using saunas. Tap water minerals, chlorine, and soaps accelerate tarnishing and can degrade adhesive stone settings.

How can I clean my silver jewellery safely at home?

Use a soft lint-free microfibre cloth impregnated with silver polish. Avoid abrasive baking soda pastes, toothpastes, or harsh chemical dips on jewellery containing pearls or gemstones.

Our showroom is at 6/1B Starowiślna Street, 31-032 Kraków, open Monday–Friday 10:00–19:00, Saturday 10:00–14:00.
