The 92.5% pure silver with a mix of 7.5% friendly like copper makes the allow called Sterling Silver or also known as 925( 925 in 1000 parts silver).

The Vermeil Gold is one of the highest grade Gold Plating methods used by even those Luxury Brands out there. To be a Vermeil standard, Jewellery has to be a minimum Sterling Silver coated with a minimum layer of 2.5% micron of 22kt gold. But at 'Grounded And Free' we have gone the extra step on quality, we put 5 microns of the layer 22kt Gold on our Sterling Silver, that extra layer is for the durability of the coating and lasting Gold finish for a longer period of time.

The quick answer is yes. Silver naturally tarnish over time, due to its natural reaction with the oxygen in the air combined with moisture. There are few tips to delay the tarnish though but the most common tip is to avoid wearing the silver jewellery during sweating work-outs, swimming or exposing into the high humid environment.

The natural Gemstones do not lose their shine for many years unless it's dirty or abused with heavy rubbing. Like any materials, rubbing and scratching will surely lose their shine. Some stones are easier to scratch and some are not, for example, Saphire stone is very tough and can not be scratched easily which makes it an attractive stone to use as glass in luxury scratch-proof watches. But as a rule for normal use of jewellery, Stones are considered very durable.

We do not just casually put any Gold Plating on our jewellery. We exceed the quality of Vermeil. Vermeil is a minimum requirement to put a layer of 22kt Gold around Sterling Silver with a thickness of 2.5 microns or more. But have we decided to put 5 microns for simply two reasons, we want durability and that Gold shine last way longer.

When we say ethical, it automatically demands a high degree of work in the supply chain. Right from finding a supplier who believes in your vision, auditing their work and the work of their supply chain down the line, checking reviews, hearing testimonials and ensuring they are rightly priced too. As you know Gold, Silver and Stones mining is big and vast, getting raw materials from mines, ores in rural places of the countries and in many cases in the country with a corrupt government and lawless society. We want to ensure we are tracing the source of raw materials and check sustainability before we start to use them.
Then it follows what we do in our own company, stemming from our intentions, people we involve, materials we use for packing, storing, producing, printing and all the way to our contributions to mother earth and our lovely communities.
We want to ensure we are doing everything consciously and reducing the bad footprints behind.

Measuring the sizes of Jewellery and Cloths
We use the US standard system to measure the ring sizes. There are charts available on the website along with instruction on how to measure your finger size.
More on Measuring The Ring Size
The quick answer is no. As with all orders, many items for us are made to order meaning, once a piece is ordered online, we inform the manufacturer to create one. If an item is ordered wrong, not only it will take time, energy and shipment costs on both sides, it may require the factory to create a new one as they need to recycle the old one that takes few weeks.
It is for this reason, we want you to be very careful when measuring your ring size and take help from our measurement chart.
