Welcome to New Autumn Rain - New Beginnings!

Thanks for visiting our store. 

What is better than combining two most glamourous fascinations to create the most beautiful jewellery for the most beautiful people? Sterling silver semi precious gemstone jewellery is an outcome of such a simple thought.

This post is for those who are new to sterling silver jewellery and experimenting with gemstones for their said healing properties. Ofcourse, the SS enthusiasts know why they love their silver. As this post gives only a general overview of the same, if you're looking for more specific information on the subject, please look it up online. 

Lets get to know our Sterling silver.

• Sterling silver is gorgeous, versatile, affordable and extremely durable.
• Sterling silver is a mix of silver containing 92.5% of silver and 7.5% by other metals, usually copper.
• Sterling silver 925 NOT inexpensive. The 925 quality of the metal makes it all worth the money.
• To determine if a piece of jewellery is made of sterling silver, look for a “925” stamp on the inside or back of the piece.

  

• Sterling silver jewellery is a high quality choice as it will not rust. When kept away from chemicals, oils, lotions these can be worn all day, every day without any need for costly maintenance or repair.
• When looked after well, your jewellery will look great well into the future, to be passed on to the next generation as a piece of family heirloom.
• It is a natural process for silver to tarnish over time. This is not permanent or doesn’t reduce the value of your jewellery. All it needs is a gentle polish with silver polishing cloth or clean soft cloth. It is as good as new!
• Sterling silver jewellery has been “the go to” for many who want to look classy and trendy at the same time without burning a hole in the pocket.

Semi precious Gemstones:

As we all know, these are "semiprecious gemstones" that cost a fraction of the cost of their counterparts, precious stones, such as diamond, sapphire, ruby and emerald. Whatever your persona and style is, there is a gemstone versatile enough to match it. Nature has gifted each one of us the luxury of our own affordable gemstone based on our birth months. 

Semiprecious gemstones have always held and continue to hold an important place across cultures. For example, in Indian culture (Hinduism) these are often associated with a planet or a god. When set in sterling silver and worn, these stones are believed to have mystical powers that can not only heal the soul but also bring happiness, prosperity and good luck to the wearer.

Imagine yourself, at a party or a fine dining restaurant with your partner on a date night, wearing our finest jewellery, with you looking so stunning that they can’t take their eyes off you! Mystical /  powerful / healing or not, no one can dispute the fact that any gemstone set in silver makes the wearer dazzle, day or night, at work or party, feeling like a celebrity. If it brings peace and calm in addition to beauty in the most natural way, it’s an added bonus!

What are the points to remember before buying sterling stone semi prcious jewellery?

To make your shopping experience pleasant and get the value for your money to be a happy returning customer, please be mindful of the following:

1. Given the fact that gemstones occur naturally, the colour, texture of the actual product may be slightly different from the picture shown in the store. They may not be as perfect as the lab created gems. Natural gemstones are likely to have some impurities, cracks or marks as they haven't been through any processing or treatment.
2. Colour of the actual product / gem may slightly vary due to the light settings and Flash used during photography and your computer monitor settings.
3. Please take time to check the description to check the size of the product fits you. This is important, especially with rings and bracelets. Please refer to size charts, when in doubt.
4. Similarly, be aware that these are handmade pieces and are priced accordingly. They may not be as perfect as the machine made pieces. You can take pride in the fact that your purchase supports someone's family by keeping them in their job duriing these tough times.

How to care for your silver gemstone jewellery?

• If your sterling silver jewellery contains gemstones / semiprecious stones be mindful when cleaning them as chemicals can potentially cause damage to the stones.
• Do not immerse in water or allow the gemstone jewellery to soak. Just a gentle wipe with a soft clean cloth would clean it better.
• When exposed to water or moisture silver tends to tarnish and will therefore start to darken. It is important that you keep your sterling silver jewellery away from moisture, water or anyother liquid.
• Be sure to remove the jewellery before you shower or swim. It's a good idea to remove sterling silver and gemstone before cleaning or gardening.

Storing your silver jewellery:

• • To avoid scratches, store each piece separately. Stay away and keep away from chemicals when wearing, cleaning or storing silver.
  • Try avoid storing directly in plastic, wooden boxes. Wrap each piece of silver in acid-free tissue paper. Never wrap them in newspaper as the chemicals in the paper can damage your jewellery.
  • Store in a soft pouch, jewel box or airtight container.
  • Always store silver jewellery with a piece of regular chalk piece by placing one in the same box as your jewels to avoid tarnishing. Make sure your jewels are wrapped and not in direct contact with the piece of chalk.
  • Never clean silver with harsh abrasive products like chlorine bleach, lemon, vinegar, salt or fizzydrinks.
