Sterling Silver Handcrafted Jewelry

Sterling Silver is a soft, precious metal and should be cared for in a loving manner.  Experts recommend storing your beautiful, sterling silver in a soft non-tarnishing cloth pouch away from other jewelry.  Also, you should clean your sterling silver with a soft, jewelry polishing cloth.   

To be classified as sterling, the silver content must be at least .925  (92.5 percent pure). All sterling silver is stamped .925 to .950.  Beware of jewelers who present their products as sterling without the verification stamp.   As sterling silver ages it naturally takes on a warm patina.  Some machine manufacturers of "sterling" coat their pieces with lacquer, retarding this natural aging process.  At L'Yves Jewelry we never lacquer our pieces, but embrace the warmth and beauty of natural sterling.

We have selected the most beautiful and unique sterling silver jewelry pieces for our contemporary and classic collections.  Each piece has been handcrafted by talented, old-world artisans whose skills were passed down through families from generation to generation.  L’Yves jewelry is of superior quality, from glistening sterling silver, nature’s gorgeous stones and glimmering pearls, to the miniature dried flowers beautifully suspended in sterling.
