Product Information

If you are looking at value and timelessness in costume jewelry, you cannot go wrong with a sterling silver piece coated with gold/ gold vermeil, or 925 gold. In gold rings, the 925 mark means that the ring’s actual or base metal is sterling silver that’s coated/ plated with gold. Therefore, the next time you see a 925 mark on a piece that looks genuinely gold, you know that it means that you are buying a gold-plated sterling silver ring. Run the nitric acid test. If you have to run this test, get a professional to do the test because nitric acid is dangerous, and then ask them to pour a drop of the acid on an inconspicuous surface. If the piece is genuine, there will be no effect, or you will have a creamish-white residue. Any other colors from the reaction indicate impurities and non-sterling silver materials.

The gold-plated sterling silver piece of jewelry is also called gold vermeil. This technique is common with costume jewelry. While sterling silver is cheaper than gold and other precious metals, there are many sterling silver imitations and fakes on the market today.Diamonds - or even cubic zirconia - look simply stunning paired with a silver band for the ultimate shining, sparkling ring, and you’ll find a beautiful collection of women’s silver rings (and sterling silver rings), both with and without diamonds, at Warren James. These rings make beautiful silver engagement rings, and there are plenty of plain silver bands to choose from if you’re looking for a wedding ring. First, you should consider looking for the hallmark or its identification stamp. A genuine sterling silver piece is engraved with an authentication mark as 925, .925, or 92.5. These are the standard markers of identification. It’s also important to know that silver’s rating is based on the grading system, while the rating of gold is based on gold’s purity or karatage.

The use of this mark stems from the fact that gold is one of rarest precious metals mined, which means that it’s valued highly. Wrap a small piece of string around your partner’s finger while they’re sleeping and use a pen to mark where the ends meet. Take the string to a jeweller and you’ll receive an accurate measurement of ring size. For purity, there are several notable ways of determining whether that ring is made of genuine sterling silver or not. Encourage your loved one to try on their friends or family members’ rings so you can get a better idea of what their ring size might be. Your partner's friends and family are a great source of help if you're still wondering how to measure their ring size. They may be better placed to get the information without raising suspicion, so if you can enlist their help, take advantage of it. Just be sure they will keep your secret if you want the proposal to be a surprise.

Ring sizing tips

Our silver rings don’t just come with plain bands - some have a twisted or braided design, and some even have petal-inspired bands. For starters, sterling silver is not pure silver as you might have been made to believe. The truth is that there is no jewelry made of pure silver since pure silver is too soft to be molded into jewelry.

Wrap a small piece of string around your partner’s finger while they’re sleeping and use a pen to mark where the ends meet. Take the string to a jeweler and you’ll receive an accurate measurement of ring size.

Once you have discovered your partner's size, you will be better able to peruse our extensive collection of diamond solitaire and gem-set engagement rings in a full choice of precious metals.

FORGOT PASSWORD?

Encourage your loved one to try on their friends’ or family members’ rings so you can get a better idea of what their ring size might be. If you are considering a ring made of the precious metals, silver or gold, you need to be familiar with the standard features and identifiers of these metals. Otherwise, you will end up with a fake, at a price. So, if you are looking for good quality gold-plated sterling silver rings, look for 925 jewelry (gold). The simplest way to find your partner's ring size is to 'borrow' a ring they already wear. As engagement and wedding rings are typically worn on the third finger of the left hand, it's perhaps unlikely that that finger is already adorned. Simply choose a ring usually worn on the middle finger instead, and be prepared to go down a size or two for the right fit. Although our collection of women’s silver rings features some beautiful engagement rings and wedding rings to treasure forever, we’ve also got sterling silver rings that make wonderful costume jewellery. Layer up these rings on your fingers or wear across your whole hand to make a quirky statement; remember that silver rings don’t just have to be for your ring finger, they can be a gorgeous treat for yourself too.
