Why We Choose Fine Silver for Our Designs
At Moon Metal & Stone, we believe that every piece of jewelry should be as timeless as the natural world that inspires it. That’s why we choose fine silver as our primary material for creating our handcrafted designs. From its radiant luster to its enduring strength, fine silver offers a unique combination of beauty and practicality that perfectly complements our nature-inspired pieces.
The Purity of Fine Silver
Fine silver is 99.9% pure, making it one of the most precious and pristine metals available for jewelry making. Unlike sterling silver, which contains additional alloys like copper, fine silver maintains its bright white appearance without the risk of tarnishing as quickly. This purity also means it’s hypoallergenic, making it a perfect choice for those with sensitive skin.
Crafting with Silver Clay
One of the most magical aspects of our jewelry-making process is the use of silver clay. This innovative material consists of fine silver particles suspended in an organic binder, allowing us to sculpt intricate designs with the precision and detail that our nature-inspired themes demand. Once fired, the binder burns away, leaving behind solid fine silver that is both beautiful and durable.
The Beauty of Natural Patina
Fine silver has a unique way of aging gracefully, developing a subtle patina over time. This natural darkening enhances the depth and texture of our detailed insect and botanical designs, giving each piece a character all its own. If preferred, a quick polish can restore its brilliant shine, offering versatility in how you wear and care for your jewelry.
Timeless Elegance
There’s something undeniably enchanting about the way fine silver captures the light. Whether it’s a delicate butterfly pendant or a bold Hercules beetle necklace, fine silver brings each design to life with a radiant glow. Its elegance makes it the perfect medium to showcase the intricate details that define Moon Metal & Stone.
Choosing fine silver is not just a decision of aesthetics; it’s a commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and sustainability. We are proud to share our passion for fine silver jewelry with you, knowing that each piece will be treasured for years to come.
