STERLING SILVER: Also known as "Standard Silver," sterling silver is silver alloyed with other metals to increase the hardness and durability. Generally, sterling is 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals. Some sterling silver jewelry is plated with 14kt-18kt gold and referred to as "vermeil," or "gold over sterling."

POST/CLUTCH: An earring with a post insert and a slide-on clutch backing to hold it in place.

CABLE: One of the most popular and classic of chain styles, created from interlocking oval links unvarying in size.

SIMULATED PEARL: A simulated pearl is an artificial stone made to look like real pearls. Known as "faux pearl," is does not actually hold any of the physical properties of a pearl, as it could be made from glass, acrylic, or plastic. Some are even lab-made from an oyster shell, which gives it an authentic feel and a stronger durability. Typically found in fashion jewelry, faux pearls are incredibly affordable and can create the same elegant look for less.
