The listing, TWO LOVELY STERLING SILVER SAPPHIRE & OPAL AND ONYX & TOPAZ RINGS SZ 7 FREE US SHIP! has ended.
Up for auction are these two striking sterling silver filled rings size 7, stamped 925. The first ring sports a beautiful pear cut pink sapphire. Two crisscrossed blue fire opals form the side bands. Sapphire is a birthstone of September and opal is one of October.
The second ring features a midnight black oval onyx surrounded by twenty-eight ice white topaz sitting on three square tiers. Onyx is one of the birthstones of February and topaz is one of November.
Sterling silver filled jewelry is beautiful and durable. You'll find examples of pure silver jewelry, but pure silver is soft and isn't practical for daily wear. Silver-filled is sterling silver that is mechanically bonded to a base metal. This is a physical bonding, rather than silver plating, which is much thinner and weaker. In order for a product to be considered silver-filled, it must have at least 1/20 of its weight in silver.
The stones are laboratory created, but their properties, chemical, optical and physical, are identical to that of naturally occurring stones. Man made gems are much hardier than their naturally occurring cousins, not so subject to temperature change, drying out, cracking or grazing.
