At CbyC Jewelry, quality and durability are at the heart of everything we do. Our black jewelry is crafted from sterling silver and plated with black ruthenium, a rare and exclusive metal. This innovative plating gives our black pieces their strikingly modern appearance while also providing essential protection to ensure they stand the test of time.
What is Black Ruthenium?
Ruthenium is a rare precious metal from the platinum group, renowned for its exceptional hardness and glossy finish. In its black form, ruthenium is used to create the deep, dark tone that defines our black sterling silver jewelry. This plating not only enhances the beauty of our designs but also adds a layer of durability.
Why We Use Black Ruthenium for Our Black Jewelry
- Protects the silver base: Sterling silver naturally oxidizes over time, but black ruthenium acts as a protective barrier, preserving the integrity and beauty of the jewelry.
- Bold and modern aesthetics: The dark ruthenium finish gives our black pieces a sophisticated, statement-making look, perfect for those who love striking designs.
- Enhanced durability: Ruthenium’s exceptional hardness ensures the black plating remains intact, even with regular wear.
How to Care for Your Black Ruthenium-Plated Jewelry
To maintain the beautiful finish of your black jewelry, we recommend:
- Storing it separately from other pieces to avoid scratches.
- Cleaning gently with a soft polishing cloth.
- Avoiding exposure to harsh chemicals that could damage the ruthenium plating.
At CbyC, we only use black ruthenium plating on our sterling silver jewelry. This exclusive combination of materials allows us to create designs that are both stunning and long-lasting.
