Astrological Silver Jewelry: Virgo

Our zodiac sign is a guide in life. People who pay attention to their astrological nature and can interpret the signs find their way much more easily in life. To honor your zodiac sign, there is now astrologically inspired silver jewelry.

The earthy Virgo is a mutable sign ruled by the hermaphroditic Mercury. This Virgo pendant depicts the zodiac sign in a round frame. The pendant is made of 925 silver, also known as sterling silver. This silver alloy contains no nickel. Additionally, the metal is suitable for allergy sufferers. Sterling silver is a metal characterized by its malleability. This allows for very fine details to be incorporated into the jewelry piece. The sterling silver in this pendant is rhodium-plated. This gives the metal a particularly bright, white luster. Rhodium plating also protects against oxidation, which can blacken the metal, and also protects against tarnishing. Rhodium plating also repels dirt.

The round frame ensures a harmonious appearance of the pendant, and since it has no sharp edges, it is also very skin-friendly. The white metal provides a subtle yet very aesthetic appearance, without the pompous effect that gold has, but also without the expressionless appearance of stainless steel jewelry. The surface of the pendant within the round frame has a matte engraving. At the center of the pendant, the symbol of the Virgo zodiac sign is engraved in a unique design.

What is 925 Silver?

The white metal, also known as sterling silver, is an alloy, meaning a combination of different metals, consisting of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals. This alloy does not serve to save on high-quality silver metal, but to enhance the durability and hardness of the metal. Due to the alloy with 7.5% other metals, sterling silver is harder and better protected against the elements, oxidation, and weathering than pure silver, which can also tarnish yellow.

What is Rhodium Plating?

Rhodium plating is the process of coating a piece of jewelry with the metal rhodium. Rhodium is a brightly shining, chrome-colored transition metal used for refining jewelry pieces. It protects silver, for example, from tarnishing and oxidation.
