About Silheera Jewellery
1. What is Silheera jewellery made of?
All Silheera jewellery is crafted in 925 Sterling Silver. Selected pieces feature 22K Gold Vermeil, Rhodium plating, or a combination of both in dual-tone designs.
2. What does 925 Sterling Silver mean?
925 Sterling Silver contains 92.5% pure silver, with the remaining 7.5% consisting of other metals, primarily to improve the strength and durability of the jewellery.
At Silheera, we use 925 Sterling Silver as the base for our jewellery.
3. Is Silheera jewellery hallmarked?
Our jewellery is crafted in 925 Sterling Silver and carries appropriate purity marking and authenticity details.
Our jewellery is currently not BIS hallmarked. We are working towards BIS hallmarking in the future.
4. What is Gold Vermeil?
Gold Vermeil refers to min 2.5 microns gold plating over a Sterling Silver base meeting applicable purity and plating-thickness requirements. 2.5 micron means up to 50 times thicker gold plating compared to flash plating and up to 5 times thicker gold plating compared to standard gold plating.
At Silheera, our Gold Vermeil pieces use 22K gold with a minimum plating thickness of 2.5 microns, plated over 925 Sterling Silver.
5. Does plating over any silver or metal qualify as Gold Vermeil?
No. Gold Vermeil specifically refers to 2.5 micron gold plating over a Sterling Silver base and must meet applicable requirement of min 10K for gold purity and 2.5 micron plating thickness.
At Silheera, we use 925 Sterling Silver as the base metal and 22K gold for our vermeil plating, with a minimum plating thickness of 2.5 microns.
6. Will Sterling Silver jewellery tarnish?
Sterling Silver can naturally tarnish over time due to exposure to air, moisture, sweat and chemicals.
Silheera jewellery is finished with an anti-tarnish coating to help slow down oxidation and preserve its shine. Proper care will further help maintain its finish.
7. Is Silheera jewellery suitable for sensitive skin?
Our jewellery is nickel-free and made with 925 Sterling Silver.
Sterling Silver consists primarily of silver, with the remaining portion made up of other metals, including copper and zinc. However, individual skin sensitivities vary. If you have known allergies or sensitivities to any of these metals, we recommend checking the product details before purchasing.

9. Can I wear my jewellery while bathing or swimming?

Hard water, chlorine, sweat and prolonged moisture exposure can affect the finish, plating and longevity of your jewellery.
10. How do I prevent my silver jewellery from tarnishing?
