Silver 925, also known as Sterling Silver, contains 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. Pure silver is not used in jewelry making, as it is too soft. Silver has a seductive look with its warm color-temperature and has been used in jewelry making since ancient times. The disadvantage of silver is: It can react to sulfur in the air (depending on air quality and skin type). This is commonly known as ´tarnishing´ or ´oxidation´. The best way to remove these dark spots is the following: polishing cloth boil water in a pan and add some salt and a piece of uncoated aluminium foil. Then put your piece of jewel into the pan and "pickle" it wait for a while. Effective are also polish products especially made for silver-cleaning.

The little lid of the turban snails is one of the most worn ammulet in the history of mankind. In India, it is considered to be the third eye of Hindu goddess Shiva. That is why the turban snails´ protective lid is called Shiva´s Eye.The third eye of the goddess Shiva, located on her forehead between the eyebrows, protects from evil looks and is a symbol of wisdom and a higher level of consciousness. The same applies to the Shiva´s Eye shell which is a symbol for all the aforementioned. On the reverse side of the turban snail´s lid, there is a spiral pattern which has its own symbolic meaning: infinite movement, infinite evolvement and eternal reincarnation. All in all, a symbol for the many processes of development that influences a person´s life.
