Frequently Asked Questions

What metal is the pendant made from?

It is made from 925 sterling silver with an oxidized finish. Sterling silver is an alloy containing 92.5 per cent pure silver, alloyed for strength. The finish is deliberately darkened while remaining sterling silver underneath.

What material is featured in the sea turtle design?

Amber is fossilised tree resin rather than a mineral, a material known for being unusually light in the hand and warm to the touch. The piece features genuine amber in its sea turtle design.

What does the oxidized finish mean?

Oxidized sterling silver has been deliberately darkened so recessed areas read black and raised detail stays bright. It remains sterling silver underneath. As it is worn, its high points can brighten naturally over time as part of the finish’s look.

How to Care for Your Oxidized Baltic Amber Sea Turtle Slide Pendant

1. Clean the oxidized sterling silver with soap, water, and a soft dry cloth.
2. Avoid silver cloths and dips, which can strip the dark finish and flatten the design.
3. Keep the piece away from chlorine and perfume.
4. Store it dry and closed.
