Mens Sterling Silver Claddagh Ring, The Tarnish Issue
Sterling silver claddagh rings for men from Kaisilver have fine craftsmanship, this is true of gold and silver claddagh rings that we make. However what many Kaisilver buyers are worried about is related to the tarnishishing of silver ring. It is basically a lack of understanding when buyers insist that rhodium or gold plating mens sterling silver claddagh rings will not tarnish. The blame for this lack of understanding rests with jewelers and not with the buyer.
When no plating is recommended for a 925 silver mens claddagh ring, Kaisilver buyer complaints refer to other jewelry advertisements. It is true that many jewelers claim that plating of silver jewelry eliminates tarnish. What we would like to explain is that, rhodium, gold or even platinum plating done on a silver claddagh ring will wear off in time. This is not a Kaisilver jewelry complaint, ALL plating done by any jeweler on silver is never permanent.
What happens to a plated sterling silver claddagh ring for men after a while is not explained by the jeweler. When the plating on your 925 silver ring wears off, it will not happen uniformly all over the ring. The plating will come off in bits and patches. This does leave your ring looking quite boring and dull. At this point of time, you cannot use a silver polish lotion to make the ring look good again. Just keep in mind that the surface of your plated (worn off) silver claddagh ring at that time, has patches of the plating and patches of silver.
Now let us look at the scenario that we recommend, an unplated sterling silver mens claddagh ring. With this option, your silver ring will show tarnish signs but, fortunately it can be handled very easily. Use any reputed commercially available, silver polish fabric or lotion and the ring and the polish will be taken away. This is far easier and more convenient tha actually handling a shabby looking plated silver mens ring that has the plating worn off.
