Questions? Dragonlady@TheSilverdragon.com ...I'm a wealth of useless information

Today I became a fan of the Sierra Club on Facebook.

Here is...

I'd like to mention...

As a company striving to remain environmentally responsible, I'd like my customers know that the silver content of all items manufactured at our facility utilize recycled silver that is sourced from a process of refining precious metal materials and are not supplied from the mining industry.

Tarnish

A few words on TARNISH

If you own silver jewelry...you know about tarnish.
Here are a few tips for you.

Keep silver away from sulfur.
It's silver's main corrosive agent...
there are sulfur-containing substances
in the air and it occurs more quickly
in damp and foggy weather.

What else is corrosive?
Ammonia...Think glass cleaner.
Nair (Check the label,
you'll see ammonia listed.)

OK, you forgot to take the rings off...
what now?

I am going to tell you a secret...
Use vinegar to clean the discoloration.

VINEGAR WILL NOT CLEAN SILVER,
BUT IT IS OPPOSITE ON THE PH SCALE
AND WILL NEGATE THE CAUSE
- THEN -
Use the polishing cloth
to polish your silver.

Also, keeping your silver in an
airtight plastic bag will also help;
this will keep the sulfur and other
corrosive agents in the air from coming
in contact with your silver.

Your jewelry box may be
a mass of plastic bags...
but the jewelry will look good!

If you keep your jewelry in a box
or drawer, consider a small bag
of activated charcoal.

It's an old fashioned remedy,
but it helps.

When considering a silver dip,
rethink if it has a stone.

Some stones cannot be dipped,
soft stones like turquoise, lapis,
malachite, amber, and pearls
are but a few.

No problem with amethyst, garnet,
onyx, moonstone, iolite, tourmaline
and many others.

Your sterling silver jewelry
should be worn and enjoyed...
don't worry about the tarnish.

Drop of Blood Ring

With the popularity of the Twilight movie and books...
I need to ask about my DROP OF BLOOD rings.

This one has a cabochon stone.
Garnet of course.


And this one is a faceted stone.
Garnet again...


I'd like to know which one
everyone prefers.

What was old is now new

More thoughts on new old jewelry.


Snakes!

I remember when everyone was wearing
Snake Jewelry.

They're back!

This is over 4 inches wide.
A stunning piece.


We have a number of
earring styles available,

But I like these...

And of course, a ring...



This one is very popular...
probably because it's adjustable
and it looks great on the first finger.



And our most popular... The snake arm band!





This is just a bit of our snake jewelry.

We offer 68 styles of snakes.

Happy New Year!

Another year has come and gone...where did it go?

I'm going into my 31'st year of The Silver Dragon.

I've seen styles come and go and come back again.


Peace jewelry is my first thought.


I have more than 20 different styles of peace jewelry.

I wore peace jewelry and now my grandchildren wear it.


We can only hope that the world takes notice.

A litte peace earring.
Wear the pair or share one with a friend.
