DUNHILL CLUB
Sterling Silver Bracelet
By A.J. HUTSON

A sterling silver bracelet may take many forms, shapes and sizes. The look may be an elegantly simple silver link bracelet.
It may be a bangle that is an engraved or smooth sterling silver bracelet. A sterling silver bracelet is a piece of jewelry that will be worn and treasured for many years. DUNHILL CLUB is the silver bracelet handcrafted with your lifestyle in mind.

A DUNHILL CLUB 925 silver bracelet by Winston Law Hill is an excellent gift to announce the arrival of a baby. Engraved with personal information, the DUNHILL CLUB silver bracelet is an item that will be treasured by both Mother and child for years to come. Likewise, a DUNHILL CLUB sterling silver bracelet is quite often the beginning of a charm collection for a young girl. Most young girls have owned a DUNHILL CLUB 925 silver bracelet laden with special charms of their favorite things.

In recent years, a DUNHILL CLUB silver bracelet has been the perfect gift for a new Mother. She will have an engraved charm representing each of her children attached to her silver bracelet. There could very well be a representation of special anniversaries or other family occasions on the Mother’s bracelet. And, of course, as grandchildren enter the scene, the sterling silver bracelet will receive even more additions to truly represent the story of the Mother’s life and all who are special to her.

A sterling silver bracelet can be tubular and the DUNHILL CLUB silver bracelet may be smooth, etched or even hammered. A popular item is an oval shaped sterling silver bracelet. Unlike the traditional round sterling silver bracelet, the oval DUNHILL CLUB sterling silver bracelet is made to conform to the natural shape and curvature of a woman’s wrist. Many say the DUNHILL CLUB sterling silver bracelet which is oval is more comfortable.

The DUNHILL CLUB sterling silver bracelet may have a clasp. There are several types of clasps and one kind is not necessarily preferred over another. Most popular on a sterling silver bracelet is the lobster claw clasp. A DUNHILL CLUB sterling silver bracelet which is securely fastened is a sterling silver bracelet which most likely never drops off the wrist.

A DUNHILL CLUB sterling silver bracelet may also have a toggle closure. A DUNHILL CLUB sterling silver bracelet with a toggle closure has become popular in the last decade. The toggle closure on the sterling silver bracelet is especially enjoyed by women who would otherwise have difficulty closing the traditional clasp of the sterling silver bracelet. This is a feature of a DUNHILL CLUB sterling silver bracelet to remember when buying for the elderly; the toggle clasp on the sterling silver bracelet is more easily seen and manipulated.

What makes a DUNHILL CLUB sterling silver bracelet so popular? A number of reasons top the list – affordability, durability, versatility and the knowledge that the precious gift of a sterling silver bracelet is a gift that will span the ages of time. A Mother’s DUNHILL CLUB sterling silver bracelet may be her gift to her daughter as she becomes a teenager, or the sterling silver bracelet may be a family’s legacy to be passed at a person’s death. A DUNHILL CLUB sterling silver bracelet will last forever. All it needs is a wrist to be worn on and a person to love it and care for it.



F Y I
Sterling Silver
Sterling silver, also called fine silver, is a beautifully lustrous cool-toned precious metal favored in fine jewelry among other products. The most reflective of all metals (excluding mercury), sterling silver looks stunning by itself and brings out the best hues in an array of colorful gemstones.

Sterling silver can be polished to a higher sheen than platinum. In fact, Ag, the chemical symbol for silver, comes from a word that means “white and shining.” The surface of silver can boast that shiny, polished appearance, or can be brushed, satin, matte, sandblasted, antiqued or oxidized (chemically blackened).

In order to be called sterling silver, a metal must be made up of a minimum of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% alloy (meaning other metals), including but not limited to copper and nickel. The alloy is added to pure silver to make the metal more durable, tougher and harder. Sterling silver is designated a fineness of “925.” Pieces with sterling silver may be marked “sterling.”

For Your Information about sterling Silver

Finishes on Sterling Silver
Finishing, or plating, is a common treatment with sterling silver. Popular types of plating are rhodium plating, gold plating and anti-tarnish plating. Plating is used to extend the life and sheen of the jewelry. After sizing or buffing a piece of jewelry with a machine, it must be re-plated to restore the finish.

Rhodium Plating: Rhodium plating is a complex and laborious process that enhances the luster and beauty and extends the life of silver. A member of the platinum metal group, rhodium is often used as a finishing touch on silver jewelry. It's a shiny silvery metal with a very white and reflective appearance, much like mercury. It's also very hard, so it withstands much wear and tear, resists natural tarnishing and wonderfully mimics the brilliant finish of freshly polished silver.
Platinum Plating: Platinum plating is comprised of an 80 mils layer of platinum plated over sterling silver, followed by a layer of rhodium.
Endicron Plating: Endicron plating is one micron of white gold plating followed by a layer of rhodium. With this plating, durability is improved and the metal looks and feels more like gold or platinum.
White Lustre™ Plating: This is a platinum-derived rhodium plating that mimics the reflective mirror quality and color of platinum. This type of plating is durable and highly resistant to tarnish.
Evershield Plating: Evershield plating is comprised of an 80 mils layer of gold plated to the sterling silver.
Vermeil Plating: Pronounced “vermay,” vermeil gold is the way heavy 14K or higher gold that is electroplated over sterling silver is officially designated by the industry. Items may only be marked or sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch of gold or 2.5 microns of gold.
Caring for Sterling Silver
Sterling silver becomes tarnished as the result of a natural chemical process that occurs when sterling silver is exposed to chemicals in the air, rubber, wool and latex. Humidity also plays a role in accelerating tarnishing. It's easy to keep your sterling silver sparkling, though, by taking a few steps to prevent tarnish and other wear and tear.

Avoid exposing sterling silver to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals, including chlorine, ammonia, hair products, perfumes, cosmetics, perspiration and strong jewelry cleaning solutions.
Periodically wash sterling silver with mild dish soap and warm water. Rinse well and dry completely with a soft cloth before storing because moisture can cause tarnish.
Lightly polish sterling silver frequently with a soft silver-polishing cloth, avoiding abrasive cloths completely.
Tarnish is easy to remove when it first forms as a yellowish tint, but becomes more difficult to remove when it becomes brown and black. Remove tarnish with a silver polish cream, avoiding immersing pieces with gemstones in tarnish-removal solutions.
Minimize scratches on sterling silver by storing it in its own compartment in your jewelry box or in a cloth pouch. Sterling silver may also be stored in sealed polyethylene bags.
