It's totally gorgeous. I'm kinda obsessed now with UltraFine. Could not resist and got the 20" elongated oval link Necklace.

This stuff shines like nobody's business, and tarnish free!!!

Don't know how anyone can go back to Sterling, when you can have this....

They showed it on QVC2 on Thursday. Beautiful! I snapped it up.

That's when I saw it! And I had to have it. Just gorgeous. I also got the 40 gram (Ultrafine) The 70 gram one was too much. I had to get it. It was on clearance. J405953

On your suggestion @songbird, I ordered a few pairs of UltraFine earrings. I get more compliments on this jewelry than my Tiffany earrings. Complete strangers have asked me about them. 😊

The big plus is how they do not tarnish and they are all well made. Thank you.🌺🥰💕

@Trinity11 They are all made in Italy. I love my pieces, but sometimes they do fade a bit over time. Probably depends on what specific factory crafts them. They're still lovely! The only ones with the ultimate finish that look great without fail are the original UltraFine .999 that QVC sold long ago.

@Sammycat1 @Trinity11 All of my Ultrafine holds up. I think I must have polished one or two about 5 years ago. I hate Sterling because of the care you have to put in. I'm accustomed to 18K gold. (My mother never saw 14K till she came to the U.S.) You wear it, put it away & never have to anything to them. And the shine remains. I wanted the same thing with silver.

Ultrafine has less copper in it than Sterling. Copper makes silver react. (Gold which has copper in it, never reacts to anything. Platinum doesn't either. That's why they are so desirable in jewelry) Copper makes jewelry stronger but doesn't change the color. So that's why copper is in Sterling.

@songbird

I understand the metallurgic principles involved extremely well and could write a technical paper on them. I have friends in the industry. And I like UltraFine, too.

There are variables, however. It's inherent in the industry. If I placed all of my UltraFine on the same surface in the same light using a camera at the proper setting, you'd see the variation in metal color. Some are almost too "chalky" white that have never changed. Some that I bought last October have already yellowed a bit.

I am fastidious in the care of my jewelry, never wear it with lotions, perfumes, hairspray,etc. Never keep it on while washing hands or doing dishes or working out or swimming or gardening.

I've loved and purchased UltraFine since the .999 days and will continue to so. So have many friends. Yet we also notice the variability,,,and that's all right.

@SharkE I did see this when they presented it. I'm not a big fan of hybrid bracelets. I mean it's nice but not for me.

EDIT: Still have not received any of my purchases from the siver day. Unusually slow. Only 2 shipped, the rest still in process.

It's like me, unique.

@SharkE how will you keep this one clean? I love, love the whiteness and pureness of silver. I will not buy oxidized silver and would find this so hard to clean throughout the various crevices unless it's soaked. Is that your approach to cleaning hefty pieces like this?

For this reason, I have stuck with simple designs that I can run a cleaning cloth over. I love silver too though will not want elaborate pieces because of it getting tarnished.

Didn't think it shined enough when I got it, so, I held the magnets up out of the silver jar and swished it back and forth , rinsed without getting the magnets wet and towel dried fast

Nobody takes proper care of their silver they let it get all grungy looking. Get a jar of that red jar container stuff in the walmart jewelry section and dip and rinse and dry.

when I do bangles I pour out some solution in a bowl and dip, rinse and dry.

never dunk any southwestern stones in the silver solution just the silver cuff part and then do the other side, never getting the turquoise, coral, any colored stones in the liquid.

you can use a silver cloth but that's messy and time consuming.
black fingers.....LOL

NO NO !!!

I see you like oxidized silver. I won't buy it. It never gets un-oxidized and always looks black. I like the luster of the pretty silver from the other junky bracelet you just posted from Ross Simmons. I love that style. Very very nice.

I think I know what cleaner you're talking about. It has a tray at the bottom of the red container to dip. I have nice sterling rings, but they need to be cleaned. Will look for that cleaner.

Thanks

@gertrudecloset

yeah, I don't like oxidized either, but it seemed to work ok with these carolyn pollock colored stones and she has the only cuff bracelets that I can wear and they stay perfectly situated on the wrist.

most of the cuffs flip, flop fall off, turn upside down, etc.

Love her cuffs

I like cuffs too @SharkE . Bangles are ok as long as I wear them on the wrist/hand that is not prominent.
