Does the Pandora sterling silver bracelet pinch?

I’m torn between the silver and leather. Does the silver pinch/pull hair when wearing it? I will only have a couple of little charms on it, not have the whole thing full.

Thanks!

Admin answers:

Question about a sterling silver bracelet?

I went mudding with my boyfriend and I forgot to take my bracelet off that he gave me for our anniversary and it’s made of sterling silver .
So it got mud on it so after we got done we washed it off with water from a hose when we were washing the mud off.
So will my bracelet be ok?
That was the first time I ever got it dirty and the first time it got wet
Please no rude comments

Admin answers:

It’ll be alright, don’t worry about it. :)

How can i tell if a bracelet is sterling silver or white gold?

Serious answers only please. My daughter received it as a present and was told it was white gold. I feel it might be silver.

Admin answers:

Usually anything that is claimed to be “gold” will have a kt stamping on the inside such as 10kt, 14kt , 18kt or 24kt–those are the most common–and notes how much gold content is in the piece (24 being SOLID gold and very soft, 10 having less gold but being more durable)
Sterling silver jewelry, if it is such, is usually stamped w/.925 on the inside.
If there are no stampings or markings anywhere on the bracelet and you still want to know for sure you can always take it to your local jeweler….but chances are it’s either plated or costume in that case.
Don’t attempt cleaners or any “wives tales” surface test as the variety of these can damage and ruin the finish of the item based on what it is made of. A jeweler will always confirm w/you if YOU know what it is made of before cleaning as different cleaners are required for the different metals.

White gold plated or sterling silver bracelet?

Which is better? I assume the white gold plated would be but will the gold just wear off? I’m going to buy it for someone who will be wearing it a lot so which would be better. Thanks xx

Admin answers:

Go for the silver. It’s silver all the way through so you won’t have to worry about mystery metal showing through and possibly causing a rash.
