Scottish Campsie Fells Jasper Sterling Silver Celtic Earrings

Set in 925 sterling silver celtic knot design, this polished Scottish Campsie Fells Jasper has bold and vibrant natural colours.

Earrings each measure roughly 42x12x5mm, not including eye and sterling silver ear hook. Wearing (drop) length of approximately 56mm.

Beautifully vibrant native Jasper sourced from Campsie Fells, a hill range in central Scotland. Known as the 'Campsies', the hills are comprised of volcanic rock - the high iron content makes the bright yellow and red colours in the Jasper found there.
Why do silversmiths use 925%? Measured in parts per thousand, pure silver (999%) is too soft so silversmiths mix it with other metals to make it it harder. The purer the metal, the higher the polish, but it is a lot softer (thus less durable). The harder the metal is, the more hard wearing the jewellery is, but it will also tarnish easier as it has less silver content. Therefore, the silver industry set a standard percentage content for fine silver (925); what we know as "sterling silver". At Two Skies our silversmiths use 925 (sterling) silver for ring shafts and moving parts, and a very high 950% on our stones settings, which enables us to get a strong jewellery item with a beautiful and secure stone setting, without any gluing. Each piece of our jewellery is hand stamped with our Two Skies Hallmark alongside the recognised industry 925 Hallmark.
