They are designed with Abalone shells, Turquoise, dried natural wild flowers etc. to create flowers,scenes etc.
The stones used are genuine..

Stamped Alpaca or Mexico..Vietta Taxco and others.

They are made out of german silver aka nickel silver, which in fact has no silver in the metals at all..see below...

They do have a sterling silver overlay...

Some metals may be called 'silver' when, in fact, they are not (except in coloration). For example, nickel silver (also know as German silver) is an alloy consisting of about 60% copper, about 20% nickel, about 20% zinc, and sometimes about 5% tin (in which case the alloy is called alpaca). There is no silver at all in German/nickel/alpaca silver.

These pieces are lead free...

This can be cleaned in warm mild soapy water Not to be submerged...after cleaning rinse well and completely dry with soft cloth..
