Metal

Metal: 925 sterling silver
Fineness: 925
Net metal weight: 1.20 g
Hallmark: Below the statutory exemption weight — not hallmarkedAt 1.20 g this article is under the 7.78 g exemption for 925 sterling silver in the Hallmarking Act 1973, so a UK hallmark is not required. The metal is still solid 925 fineness; the exemption concerns marking, not the alloy. Read the exemption weights.
Plating: None — solid metal throughout, not plated, filled or coated
Nickel release: Nickel-safe, tested to UK REACH limitsThis item is inserted into a pierced ear, so it is tested against the 0.2 µg/cm²/week release limit for post-assemblies. It also meets the lead limit of 0.05 % and the cadmium limit of 0.01 %. We do not describe any item on this site as suitable for every skin, because no material can be.

Cleaning limits for this piece

Warm water, a drop of plain washing-up liquid and a soft brush. Rinse and dry fully before storing.

About this piece

Colourless sapphire is corundum, the same mineral as blue sapphire and ruby, at Mohs 9 with no cleavage. That combination is why these are graded for daily wear while most of this catalogue is not. Sapphire has a lower dispersion than diamond, so it reads bright rather than fiery — a different look, described here as what it is rather than as a stand-in for something else.

Total carat weight across all 2 stones: 1.40 ct. The wear grade shown for the piece as a whole is daily, because a piece is only as forgiving as its softest stone.
