VLOG Difference between Sterling Silver and Silver Plated

So, do you think that “price-point” is a dead giveaway to see if what you are buying is real sterling silver or if a piece is made with silver plated metal?

Have a look at my video on the subject – I have a little story that might surprise you!

And, by the way, I only use “real/solid” Sterling Silver (no plated metals) in my designs, which you can find in my various online shops: NGOriginals Artfire Studio and Canadian Rockies Art Studios on Artfire, as well as on Etsy in my NGOriginals & Canadian Rockies Etsy shops.

Happy shopping!

Lauching my Jewelry Buyers' Guide Videos!

Hi everybody!

Awhile back I had the idea that I would like to do a series of articles to help buyers of handmade (and commercial) jewelry online understand the technical terms they read in descriptions when they are shopping and trying to find that perfect piece of jewelry.

We use a lot of words and expressions when we make jewelry and we know what those words and techniques mean, but for most people, just like us before we started making jewelry, a lot of the technical terms are foreign to most buyers out there.  This series will share information in a way that is easy to understand.

Here’s my intro video to explain what I will be doing… Stay tuned for more videos in this series and feel free to ask questions in the comments below. Thanks and Happy Shopping!
