5 out of 5 starsI think Sigal is officially my favorite person on Etsy! I purchased the single solid gold suspender earrings years ago from her and they were my absolute favorite earrings ever. Recently my ears had started showing some extra sensitivity to a lot of earrings so I gave them a break for a while and then could not find them. So of course I went to Sigal for another pair, but this time I was hoping for a thicker gauge earring. Even though Sigal doesn’t make a thicker gauge in solid gold, she had the brilliant idea to solder two single ones together. They are gorgeous! She said she couldn’t hide the seam, but when I received them I notice no seam at all. It really seems like one solid earring. I am so thrilled! It is exactly what I was hoping for, and I feel extra confident wearing my most favorite earrings once again ❤️

5 out of 5 starsBest experience with shop owner. She is detailed and caring and super sweet and easy to work with. The packaging was so thoughtfully put together. She even put an extra backing for the earring, cleaning cloth and notes for all items! Emails were responded right away with detailed answers!

Frequently asked questions
What is sterling silver?
Sterling silver consists of 92.5 % pure silver and the rest is other metals, typically copper.
Pure silver is too soft and weak to make jewelry and therefore, other metals (7.5%) are added to improve to the quality.
How do I clean my jewelry?
To clean silver jewelry, use a soft polishing sterling silver cloth (you can purchase in every jewelry shop). Don’t use polishing cloth on an oxidized texture, as it will wear off.
For stone set jewelry, you can leave your jewelry to soak in a bowl of warm water with a mild liquid detergent before cleaning with a soft bristle toothbrush. Rinse under running water and use a soft cloth to dry the piece. This also applies to gold and platinum jewelry.
How do I clean an oxidized (black tinge) sterling silver jewelry?
925 silver oxidizes when it is exposed to air, this is the main reason why silver jewelry tarnishes over time.
1. A sterling silver cleaning cloth can be a good solution, if the oxidation is not too bad.
2. Any silver cleaning paste/liquid will also clean the oxidation.
3. Baking soda, aluminum foil and boiled water - can do magic with sterling. Here are two short videos that demonstrate how it works. (It is not recommended to do if the oxidation is part of the texture/ design of the jewelry as it will come off) :

How do I keep a matte texture from tarnish?
Jewelry with a matte finish (especially rings) may take on a polished appearance over time. Matte finish doesn’t stay forever. To restore the matte finish - take a new ScotchBrite (the green coarse kitchen sponge) and rub over the surface of the ring. It will bring back a matte finish. It might also cover (obscure) scratches if they are not deep. (For jewelry with stones - (Please note: ScotchBrite can be damaging to softer stones, so it is advisable to protect the stones by covering them with cellophane tape prior to buffing.)
How do I keep oxidized jewelry from losing its oxidation?
Oxidation tends to fade over time. For re-oxidizing you may use bleach (yap!) deep the silver part of the jewelry in bleach for few minutes or for an hour.
Another home method – is using boiled eggs (!!!) as explained in this short video: http://jewelrymakingjournal.com/how-to-oxidize-sterling-silver-and-copper-with-boiled-eggs/
You can also buy the special oxidation liquid (Liver of sulfur) . Beware! It smells like rotten eggs (because of the sulfur). Please use caution when using it! Read the instructions carefully !!!
here’s a link for oxidation liquid: https://www.riogrande.com/Product/midas-liver-of-sulfur/331030
How do I keep a hammered oxidized texture from fading?
Please refer to “How do I keep oxidized jewelry from losing its oxidation? “
After restoring the oxidation, you can use ScotchBrite to reveal the hammered texture. Just slide the jewel slightly on the ScotchBrite, make sure you use minimal strength.
