Please see our FAQ section to read about the differences in Sterling Silver and Stainless Steel jewelry. Our most popular option is sterling silver. But we know people like to have cost-saving options, so we also offer in stainless steel designs. Our default price is for the plain stainless steel charm bead, which is a popular choice as well. Please read below for the option differences. Since these items are made to order and usually personalized, they are not returnable unless there is an error on our end.
STERLING SILVER:
15.9mm (5/8 inch) 22 gauge sterling silver disk laser engraved and then polished to a store room shine in with our unique three step process including a final polish with an tarnish resisting polish. We do our best to get the charm to a mirror finish but keep in mind these sterling charms are engraved and hand polished so there may be some faint lines or swirls from polished as they are not mass produced and polished. They are welded securely to a sterling silver bail that will slide easily onto just about any European charm bracelet on the market.
STAINLESS STEEL:
1.1mm 15mm (5/8 inch) stainless steel disk is the same size and plain style as the sterling silver but at a much lower cost. The disc is laser engraved and then cleaned. The stainless steel charms are not polished in the same fashion as the sterling silver. So they will not be as shiny. The charm is then welded securely to a sterling silver bail that will slide easily onto just about any European charm bracelet on the market.
