Curated Essentials
Unplated 925 sterling silver necklaces — filigree medallions, dainty chains, evil eye and initial charms, pearl and gemstone drops, all handmade in our Midyat workshop.
Chains come in curb, rope, snake and box links. Curb and figaro sit flat and take weight well, so they suit heavier pendants; snake and box are smoother and better on their own or under a shirt.
About tarnish
Sterling silver darkens over time — that is oxidation, not damage, and it lifts off with a polishing cloth in a minute. It happens faster in humid air, in chlorinated water, and where perfume or hairspray lands on the chain. Storing pieces in a closed pouch slows it considerably.
