This lion is made of sterling silver and is stamped 925 on the bail which means it is silver. The bail is covered in CZ crystals which is a pleasant touch. The lion is highly detailed with fine lines on the hair, face, and even the paws with separated toes, the shape of the body and head are as realistic as a miniature can get.Great for Leo birthdays, or lion lovers, as a gift.Wipe down with a soft cloth damp or dry after each use. Wear it as a single on a bracelet anklet or necklace, or let it mingle with your other charms. If buying as a gift, you could buy a bracelet or necklace and a few more charms to start your recipient out especially if it's their first one with some nice spacer beads (at least 2) or a couple more charm beads that mean something special to them. Sold separately.If it tarnishes you can scrub it with toothpaste or Sterling Silver cleaner there are instructions online easily found with a search. Rinse, and dry with a soft cloth. When you notice tarnishing jewelry it is best to store them in a jewelry bag to avoid quicker oxidation and store it in a dry environment, not a window sill or bathroom.Avoid perfume, body spray, lotion, sunblock, hair spray, insect repellent, and cologne contact, remove before using such chemicals, and let it absorb or dry fully before replacing your jewelry. Doing so will decrease the oxidation as quickly.The price reflects the quality and sterling silver used, you will find most charms run around 10-20 dollars on average and more for licensed jewelry and more intricate designs. The fun part is choosing which beads to suit your personality and memories.
