Material of our silver jewelry

The silver used in the manufacture of silver jewelry cannot be 100% pure because it would be too soft. In order to be able to work it, we add one or more alloying metals to it, copper most of the time.

Silver jewelry, in Europe and in most countries of the world, is made of 925 silver. It is 1st grade silver, it has a minimum content of 92,5%. This is also called sterling silver, from the English Sterling Silver 925. Sterling silver, for example, is made of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. Sterling silver has been a category of silver for jewelry in many countries since the 14th century.

Our handmade silver jewelry in India come from different workshops because the techniques of each artisan are unique and differ from one to another. In order to vary the designs we have selected craftsmen with different skills.

Shankar's workshop is located in the fabulous little town of Pushkar, in the heart of Rajasthan. Shankar is a Hindu, passionate about his work, and very active in the community. Shankar collaborates daily with other craftsmen because his workshop being very small, he does not have all the necessary tools. The creation of jewelry is a bit long but the result is well worth taking the time!

Govin's workshop is nestled in the heart of Rajasthan. This region of north-eastern India has been renowned for its expertise in jewelry since the dawn of time. Rajasthan is a very colorful region of immense cultural wealth. It is not for nothing that it is one of the most touristic destinations in India. I met Govin in 2017, thanks to several business friends in Europe. Everyone advised me to go see Govin and what a meeting! Govin, Muku, Eddy, and a few craftsmen fervently work silver, crimp, brush, polish. The workshop is a real Ali Baba's cave, full of a thousand semi-precious stones. No machine, apart from something to polish! All silver jewelry is handmade, from A to Z. Forget the machines, even the simplest. It is all the more incredible to see the birth of a jewel.
