Mary Elizabeth and I have been in the Jewelry Business for over 30 years and through those years have heard many comments and complaints from people about buying Jewelry from Retail Jewelry stores. We have heard those comments and have set about to upgrade and help our customers deal with some issues involving Sterling Silver Jewelry
One issue is and has always been tarnishing. As an issue, oxidation has been at the forefront to people’s resistance to buy and wear Sterling Silver Jewelry. Silver tarnishes. Some companies for years plated their silver with Nickel which is beautiful, shiny and does not tarnish. But recently it has come to light that people are many times allergic to this metal. So lately Rhodium from the platinum family of metals was used. There are other coatings which to a greater or lesser extent slow or try to stop the tarnishing process.
However, all the methods have downsides to them. Most notably is the fact that if Silver is plated with a super thin coat of another metal or e-coating or any sort of anti-tarnish agent, its plating starts to erode and come off over time and the result is far worse than simple tarnishing and can ruin the Silver Jewelry altogether.
We opted for a far different approach. We do not plate ANY of our Jewelry with any sort of anti-tarnish coating. Instead we supply (with every order) a simple homemade how-to guide on how to get rid of not only future tarnish on your Silver Jewelry, but this works on ALL Silver - Jewelry Flatware - all of it and it is done with simple household ingredients you most likely already have at your house.
You will get the recipe right along with your Jewelry purchase from us on every order.

Designer Sterling Silver
We’ve spent years researching, finding, and selling Silver Jewelry from all over the world and we have after these many years settled on Italy as the #1 source for Sterling Silver Chains. Anyone can find silver chains all over. At the mall, at the jewelry store etc. etc. And many of those also come from Italy.
But our Jewelry is different from all others. It has been designed by us and therefore it is not your normal jewelry. We have spent years listening to our customers talk about what their Ideal Silver Chain would be like. Strong, does not pull my hair, is shiny and bright, does not knot or kink easily, gets me many compliments and more.
We have scoured the Factories in Italy and there are lots of them. We narrowed it down to just a couple of them who's quality is something we can be proud of and we have branded our own "recipe" to make up these superior chains. Including the exact specifications of cut, color, strength, clasp types and connector ring size and more. Each of our chains have been designed directly by us and are superior to what can be found in Department and Jewelry Stores.
When it comes to Sterling Silver Jewelry one should be sure to choose the right thickness for a particular use. For instance, let’s use the following "rules" to help us choose.
The Smelting Process to make .925 Sterling Silver is a VERY exact process. The metals are mixed precisely and heated to an exact temperature. This is then pushed out through the bottom into a .925 Sterling Silver Rod about ½ inch thick. Then the rod is rolled through rollers that stretch out the Silver into a wire that is thinner and thinner all the way down to what is needed to make a particular chain.
We supervised and quality checked each step of the process to ensure our products met with our specific needs before we decided to use that Factory to manufacture Designer Sterling Silver Chains..
The Singapore Chain is a very difficult chain for a Factory to get right. We searched high and low and finally found the one Factory that specializes in this type of chain exclusively.
That was a great day for us to find this Factory and now they are making our Branded Singapore Chains by the Kilo.
We very much enjoy our business and we completely stand behind all our products. This is one reason we have done well in the sales of our Designer Sterling Silver Jewelry. We love our customers and our customers love us.
The is what Designer Sterling Silver is all about!

This chain is lovely! Looks perfect with my heart pendant. Very dainty but seems strong enough to take some wear. I hope so! I'll have to update down the road. So far I love it!
Jacqueline Johnson
As advertised. Arrived quickly and does what I expected it to do. Wife wanted a small fine silver chain for this charm our neighbor made. Fits perfectly. Does not overwhelm the charm yet seems to hold up fine.
Larry Hernandez
Nice silver chain. Perfect for the reason I purchased it.

I bought the 18" as a replacement for a chain that broke on a ring-holder necklace - meaning it needs to hold some weight to keep my wedding ring / engagement ring safe and secure during those times they cannot be on my finger. I often have to take my rings off for work. I have been wearing this chain every day since mid-March without issue. Almost daily the rings also hang from the chain and pendant - with confidence. I would buy this again in a heartbeat.

I got this sterling silver chain for my mom. When it arrived we were pleasantly surprised, because it looked better than the picture. It was beautiful, brilliant, and looked way more expensive than it was. Thank you Designer Sterling Silver by Media Productions. I would buy again from your store with confidence.
Miguel Chen
Horrible quality. It broke within a few hours of wearing. Thank god I was at home other wise I might have lost the pearl pendant I had on it. Looks very cheap also, it was labeled at sterling silver but I looked almost white and didn’t even match my sterling sliver pearl pendant. Thought I would still give it a try as I ordered it because I wanted a shorter chain. I will say the packaging was very nice. It came with a little “care kit” with instructions for caring for jewelry, etc. Definitely would not recommend purchasing. Not worth the money even though it was relatively inexpensive.
Michelle Smith
I bought this to replace a too tiny chain that I received with an expensive cross pendant on Christmas. I want something a bit more substantial. I loved this right out of the box. It was the perfect size and I thought it was sturdy enough for my tiny cross. I out it on and a couple hours later in the grocery store I felt the chain slip from my neck. I was very lucky to have felt it break otherwise I could have lost an expensive pendant. I have contacted store to see about returning it because I feel like I shouldn't have to pay a return fee to Amazon to return it and they want a return charge paid. Hopefully the store I got it from will honor a replacement. If so-I will update my review about it.****THE STORE SENT ME A NEW CHAIN AND I LOVE IT. I DID NOT HAVE TO PAY ANY RETURN SHIPPING OR ANYTHING. THEY WERE SUPER NICE AND VERY HELPFUL. I WILL PURCHASE FROM THEM AGAIN.
