Sterling Silver Toe Ring

A sterling silver toe ring is a distinctive accent for women’s feet. Even some men find them to be an attractive addition. Since pure silver is too malleable and easily scratched so jewelers figured out how to add small amounts of stabilizing elements such as copper.

A sterling silver toe ring contains at least 92.5% pure silver and added alloys for strength and longevity. The only problem with adding an element like copper is that it opens up the silver to tarnish. Protect rings from products and chemicals and never polish using toothpaste – the grit within leaves microscopic scratches on the silver.

A sterling silver toe ring definitely should not come in contact with chemicals, such as chlorine. Even regular shower soap and hair products can damage the surface. A plating of rhodium is sometimes applied to the silver to add extra protection.
