Chunky Women’s Solid Silver Necklaces

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can you take a shower with a silver necklace?

  Yes, you can shower with a solid silver necklace or solid silver chain. Silver is not affected by water at all, but do be aware that the chemicals in soaps and shower gels may cause the silver to tarnish and lose its shine faster than average, but this can easily be polished off your women's sterling silver necklace with a quick buff with a silver polishing cloth.

• How much should I pay for a women's silver chain necklace?

  Several factors impact the price of a sterling silver necklace—firstly, weight. Silver is a precious metal with a market price per ounce. So, the heavier the silver necklace chain for women, the more silver there is and the more expensive it will be—secondly, labour. The price will vary depending on the complexity of the chunky silver chain design and the number of hours it takes to make it. So simple silver chains for women pieces should be cheaper than more complex ones, and mass-produced, machine-made ones will be much cheaper than handmade women's thick silver chain pieces where an artisan will take hours to make a single piece. The third factor is the trickiest one. Mark up. This is the retailer's amount they can or should charge for each women's silver necklace. This will be higher if they are a big-name brand with fashion or celebrity cred or have shops with expensive rents and staff to pay. Here at Corazon Latino, we don't consider ourselves the cheapest or most costly. Still, we do feel that we offer something unique, from unusual chunky solid silver necklaces to one-of-a-kind sterling silver chains for women who make unforgettable gifts.

• What is the best silver necklace to buy?

  All silver sold in the UK, over 7.8g, must by law be tested and hallmarked by a certified assay office. The basic 925 stamp you see is no guarantee that the silver chain for women you purchased is genuine. The artisan or factory adds it, and the silver has not been tested to prove that it is silver. The UK assay offices test every women's silver necklace sent to them and mark it as either Sterling Silver (a lion and a 925) or the much less common Britannia Silver (Britannia on a throne and 950) along with the maker's mark and their assay office mark. Some cheaper women's chunky silver necklaces are silver-plated, a thin layer of silver over a cheap base metal like brass or steel. This is not Sterling silver and will, over time, rub off. Always look for the hallmark when purchasing genuine ladies' sterling silver necklaces.

• Are Tiffany necklaces real silver?

  Tiffany guarantees all their sterling silver chains for women to be 925 silver and have all the pieces hallmarked. Silver higher than Sterling’s 92.5% is softer and more pliable and tends to have a less polished finish than the fantastic collection of women's solid silver necklaces at Corazon Latino.
