Will silver plated beads on a sterling silver bracelet cause tarnish or discoloration?
I have a Charmed Memories bracelet from Kay. Very similar to Pandora and those kind of bracelets. I want to buy a bead bundle online, but someone warned me about mixing metals. Is "silver plated" close enough to sterling silver to not cause a problem? Or does everything on the bracelet have to be sterling silver?

How do I clean my sterling silver jewelry?
Don't use any hard things like paper towel to clean sterling silver jewelry. Paper towel could scratch the surface of jewelry.Avoid rough materials or tissues. A Soft polishing cloth is good practice to clean fingerprints or any other blemishes.If tarnish starts to show on your jewelry, then just wash your favorite piece of jewelry. Warm water, ammonia-phosphates free soap useful for wash jewelry.Beware of commercial cleaner, because unreliable commercial cleaner could be damaging your sterling silver jewelry.If your silver jewelry exposed to air, then it starts to show tarnish on jewelry. So that put your jewelry in an air-tight plastic bag and also put it in separate bags for avoiding scratches on jewelry.Hope above information helps you.

How do you clean sterling silver jewelry at home?
Here are some ways to clean your jewelry at home. I have used of all of these & they really work. 1. The quickest & easiest way that I have found to clean my jewelry at home is to use the sterling silver jewelry cleaner that wal-mart sells for $4 dollars. This works great on my sterling silver jewelry that has mild tarnishing. (NOTE do not put jewelry with gem stones in to any mild or strong cleaner because it may damage some stones, this would ruin a peal fast!) 2. Another quick way to clean your jewelry but I do not recommend it because it has strong chemicals is Tarnex. If your jewelry is very tarnished (black) Tarnex will clean it. (Only use Tarnex on jewelry that is not plated. Never put jewelry with gem stones in Tarnex it will make you cry) 3. For sterling silver jewelry with gem stones , I would recommend whitening tooth past. It will take a little work but this is one of the safest ways to clean your jewelry. Get the tooth past very bubbly with a old tooth brush then leave the tooth past on your tarnished jewelry for about 5mins (some times more if very tarnished). After 5mins brush your jewelry till the shine shines through. Rinse with warm water & towel dry. (repeat is you need to) This works great for most of my sterling silver jewelry, it also works great on gold & diamonds. 4. A sterling silver cleaning cloth is the best way I have found to clean my sterling silver jewelry. It will really bring out the shine in your tarnished sterling silver. (also works great on gold). I forget what name brand the one I have is but I know of a site that sells them. (this takes more time but it is well worth it) http://www.firemountaingems.com/details.asp?PN=H203075TL I hope this helps to answer your question. One more note do not put Antiqued jewelry in 1 or 2. I had a pretty cleric antiqued ring that now looks totally new because I cleaned it with the wal-mart cleaner. If you want your Antiqued sterling silver to be clean but still look antiqued clean it with a cleaning cloth because you are more in control how much tarnish you remove.

Is it normal to give your girlfriend a silver bracelet on her birthday after 3 years of friendship and 3 weeks dating?
When you ask such a question consider wording it in both ways;“Is it normal?”“Is it abnormal?”What is ‘normal’? Did you give her Birthday cards or gifts when you were “just friends”? If you did then why change the habit unless she’s asked you not to, or you have any reason to think she might interpret the girt as you trying to eg. “buy her favour” or ingratiate yourself to her now that you’re dating? Do what feels right. Do what is done with sincerity and without obligation to her to reciprocate, It’s a nice thing to do, to gift a girl an item of jewellery, hopefully she’ll appreciate the sentiments and the fact that you worked to obtain the money to pay for it..
Is silver jewelry made by a mixture of other metals to increase its quality and strength?
Definately!Raw silver when moulded into smaller items is very soft and it can be moulded into any shape easily so in order to give it strength copper,zinc,cadmium is added which highly depends on the purity of silverNot just strength but it also adds lustre makes it high temperature resistantSo the composition of these metals in which ratio they dhould be added depends largely on what you are making and what purity you are are making it inSo yes it is very important to add certain metals and alloys and the most IMPORTANT thing is what to add in whoIt is very important to know the right composition or you could be well in for a great loss!
