Is this real 925 sterling silver, or is it silver-plated?
+
Every piece in Nueve Sterling's collection is crafted from solid 925 sterling silver or higher-purity 950 silver. You will never find hollow plating, cheap base metals, or flash coatings here. When you select a piece, you receive genuine precious metal forged with a solid, substantial weight that stands up to daily wear and can be polished for a lifetime.
How does handcrafted Taxco silver compare to mass-produced jewelry brands?
+
Unlike commercial fast-fashion brands that rely on machine stamping or mass assembly lines, every piece in the collection is individually hand-forged by master silversmiths in Taxco, Mexico. This traditional process ensures superior structural integrity, comfortable hand-finished edges, and a unique artisan character that machine manufacturing simply cannot replicate.
Will solid .925 sterling silver tarnish over time?
+
All authentic solid sterling silver naturally reacts with oxygen and moisture over time, creating a light patina. However, because every piece in Nueve Sterling's collection is solid silver rather than plated, restoring its bright, mirror-like luster takes only seconds with a soft silver polishing cloth or gentle cleanser.
How do I know what size or fit to choose for the jewelry?
