Silver: Not Just Another Pretty Face

If you think your silver jewelry is just a pretty ornament, think again! Silver, as an element, is one of the most amazingly functional metals on earth. Sit back while we iron the cape and tights, and we’ll tell you all about Silver’s super powers!

Calling Dr. Silver

Silver is a great antibacterial agent. Tiny amounts of silver or silver salts can chemically affect the cell membranes of bacterial cells, killing them and creating a sterile environment. Bacteria cannot build up a resistance to silver, as they can to most antibiotics, which means that silver is one of the more dependable methods of sterilization.

Silver also works to purify water in much the same way. The presence of silver or silver salts will kill present bacteria and prevent the growth of more. Aristotle knew this centuries ago, and advised Alexander the Great to use silver containers to store boiled water… in order to prevent disease. In time, wealthy Greeks and Romans began to store their wine and oil in silver casks to prevent spoilage.

Silver Spoons

As a matter of fact, the common expression, “Born with a silver spoon in his mouth,” is a reference to health, not wealth. Because being fed with a silver spoon did, in fact, help children stay healthier, the old adage contains more than a grain of truth. This common observation is part of the reason why silverware came into fashion in the middle ages: people who ate with their hands got sick more often and more easily.

Today, silver’s antibacterial properties make it perfect for use in the medical field: burn treatments and wound dressings often incorporate silver. In fact, Curad, a well known bandage maker, is marketing a new line of bandages that use silver in the wound pad. Medical research has shown that silver can promote the healing and regeneration of bone and skin. Even prescription eyeglasses take advantage of the properties of silver to help improve our overall health!

It’s Electric!

Silver is truly multi-functional. In addition to its many health-related uses, silver is flexible, ductile, conducive, and reflective, all of which make it extremely valuable in a wide variety of technologies.

Silver has the highest degree of optical reflectivity. A silver mirror reflects 95% of the visible lightspectrum, which is why most mirrors are silver, particularly the mirror components in telescopes, microscopes and solar panels.

Additionally, silver is the best conductor of electricity. As a matter of fact, all other metals are compared against it when measuring conductivity. On a scale of 0 to 100, silver ranks 100, with second and third place going to copper at 97 and gold at 76.

Because of this property, virtually every cell phone, home appliance and modern automobile in existence incorporates silver in its electronic components. Silver is also utilized in batteries where dependability is key and weight restrictions are inviolable, such as those for portable surgical tools, hearing aids, pacemakers and space travel.

Silver’s contributions in these fields is only enhanced by its other qualities. Gold, at considerably higher expense, is the only element more ductile than silver. One ounce of silver can be drawn into 8,000 feet of thin wire.  Silver is also more malleable than any element except gold. One grain of silver can be made into a sheet one hundred and fifty times thinner than a piece of paper. With super-powers like these, it is easy to see why silver is so valuable in the ever-shrinking world of electronics.

More obscure but interesting uses of silver include Cloud Seeding (spraying an aerosol silver iodide into cloudbanks to stimulate rainfall), coating quartz tiles to protect NASA spacecraft from solar radiation, and the development of “invisible silver” a transparent window coating that increases heating and cooling efficiency to record levels.

Kinda gives you a new respect for your well-worn and much-loved silver jewelry, hmmm?

Where, Oh, Where Has My Silver All Gone?

There are consequences, however. The use of silver in electronics is problematic, as the process of silver recovery after an item is junked is often prohibitively difficult and expensive. The end result is that the silver used in electronics is unrecoverable, and thus the finite reserve of silver is being diminished with each thrown-away appliance.

Additionally, the current economic environment is contributing to the diminishment of silver supply. Investors are holding on to precious metal assets until the economy stabilizes, effectively removing reserves of both gold and silver from the open market.

For perhaps 15 years, silver production has been unable to meet silver demand, and that trend is only becoming more and more pronounced.  Although jewelry and silverware are still the top two uses for silver , other fields are vying for their spot on the list. As the demand for silver in medical, electronic, and technological fields continues to grow, the price of silver is forced upward.

A Sterling Investment

Silver is currently at an all-time high, hovering at $28.00/oz, up from just $5.00/oz 5 years ago! Just this year, silver prices have gone up more than $10.00 an ounce! With no end in sight, silver is expected to continue rising.

While these increases in price are inconvenient right now, the silver lining is that your beautiful Peter Stone sterling silver jewelry will continue to grow in value and will be worth even more in the future. We know our smart shoppers will take these factors into account and think of today’s expense as tomorrow’s investment!

And the Survey Says…FAQs!

In October, we sent out a Survey to hear what you had to say—and you gave us PLENTY of feedback! We’re so glad that you took the time to give us your thoughts, and we hope to be able to address your comments over the next few weeks as we work to compile the results and follow up on some of your concerns and suggestions.

Firstly, THANK YOU! There was so much positive feedback! We were so glad to hear from our happy and satisfied customers, like T.K., who said “I am glad you sent me this survey, because I wanted to email you myself to tell you how fabulously happy I am with my purchase, the design, the price, the speed of delivery and customer service! My ring is GORGEOUS, fits perfectly, and I have received so many compliments and referred your site to them! I will definitely be a repeat customer!”

We sure hope so, T.K.! For those of you who had suggestions—you sent them to the right place! Your responses went directly to Peter Koslowski, founder and owner of Peter Stone. You just might be the inspiration behind the next Peter Stone innovation!

There were some of you who responded with very valid concerns and we will try to address those as quickly as we can. We want ALL our customers to be 100% satisfied, so we’re working diligently to make sure your next experience is as smooth and convenient as possible!

Luckily, we already have answers for many of your responses and we’re thrilled that we can offer this FAQ guide to answer the most common questions about searching our website, Paypal, backorders, our wishlist function (Yes, we have a wishlist!)… and everything else about Peter Stone! Glance through the list below and see if YOUR question is answered here—or just read through them to learn all our tips and hints!

Why are my items on backorder? We’re trying to keep the prices down on our jewelry, and part of the way we do that is by only producing the items that are being sold. Because we have THOUSANDS of designs, it would cost us an enormous amount to keep all of them fully stocked at all times… and that cost would have to be reflected in our pricing. By producing jewelry “On Demand,” we’re able to keep our costs—and YOUR costs—down! We hope you’ll understand and help us keep our pricing reasonable by ordering merchandise before you need it!

Can we use paypal to pay on your website? Yes! Paypal is offered as a payment method on the checkout page, for both retail AND wholesale customers! Does your website have a wish list function? Yes! We do have a wish list! Any time you’re viewing an item, you can find the “Add to wishlist” button in the right-hand sidebar. Once you’ve added items to your wishlist, you can access it any time from the “My Account” page.

You can even send your wishlist to your family and friends! At the bottom of the My Wishlist page, you’ll find your personalized link. Just COPY the URL provided, then PASTE that link into an email to your family or friends… when they receive it, they can use it to visit (and purchase from!) your wishlist page. This is a great way to give holiday hints and save your loved ones the frustration of trying to figure out what you’d like!

Do you have an advanced search function to make navigating your site easier? We do! Beneath the traditional search box in the top right corner, you can click “Advanced Search” to access more options… narrow your search by category, jewelry type (ring, bracelet), and/or price. For even more specific searches and advanced functions, you can visit our Search Tips page!

What affects the price of the jewelry? We don’t EVER like to raise our prices, but we DO have to purchase raw silver to create the beautiful Peter Stone designs you love so much… and when the price of silver rises on the open market, we have to raise our prices to continue to stay in business. One advantage of manufacturing “On Demand” is that we can purchase the silver now and hold on to it until you place an order… allowing YOU to avoid the price increase that might happen tomorrow. Even with these innovations, however, we have to cover our costs… and when you realize that silver prices are at an all-time high, we hope you’ll understand that we’re doing the best we can!

Why does some jewelry turn my skin green? Although it doesn’t happen often, we know that skin discoloration is unfortunate when it does occur. But we assure you it is not an indication of the quality of the piece. A naturally high acidity level in a person’s skin can cause discoloration to occur when in contact with silver or gold, particularly in hot, humid weather. This is caused by oxidation, which is a natural process that affects all silver (it is also what causes silver to acquire a tarnished look over time.) Another reason could be a simple chemical reaction with soaps, lotions, or chemicals that may be regularly applied to your skin.

Some people have (or develop) an allergy to the alloy elements (often added to make both gold and silver jewelry more durable). This is the most common cause when the jewelry is of inferior quality, but it does happen with fine jewelry also—it just depends on the allergy and the element used to strengthen the original metal (silver, in particular, is a very soft metal in its pure state, which is why sterling silver is generally used for jewelry, after having been strengthened.)

How do I find out more about custom designs? We’re excited to be able to offer Custom design services, so you can have your specific design come to life in beautiful sterling silver and/or 14 Kt. gold. With your ideas and our craftsmanship, you’re sure to end up with something beautiful—and unique!

We’re working on implementing a program to streamline this process, but for now, you can learn more about the service on our Custom Design page, and you can email your requests to our design team for more specific information.

How much is shipping? Retail Shipping: We offer flat rate shipping through the Untied States Postal Serivce starting at $3.97 for domestic (U.S. and Canada) retail orders. If you’re looking for a faster delivery, please visit our Shipping FAQ page for more options.  For a limited time, we’re also offering  special promotional shipping for Nebula–domestic flat-rate shipping starting at only $2.97!

Please note, international shipping times and rates will vary from the times and rates below. Please use the shipping calculator during checkout or call 1-(800) 397-8787 for international shipping times and rates. Most AUS orders will arive within three weeks.

Wholesale Shipping: Rates are variable based on the weight of the package being shipped, and the location we are shipping to. To find out more information about wholesale shipping rates, visit our Wholesale ordering system or contact our customer service department at 1-800-897-3737.

How can I find out more about the meaning behind the designs? We’re currently in the middle of creating a Design Dictionary to help educate our visitors about the many designs we offer, but for now, you can read about most designs on the item page, or you can browse our blog, where we discuss several of the designs in more detail. If there’s something specific you’d like us to feature on the blog, send us an email and let us know… we’re always happy to hear from our fans!

How can I tell the size of the item I’m ordering? On each individual item page, you can use the “Click to enlarge” button underneath each picture to activate a larger window with a measurement comparison so you can get a better understanding of the size of the item you’re interested in.

What is the difference between retail & wholesale customers? We are primarily a manufacturer, and distribute our jewelry to resellers who then sell our jewelry to the public at retail prices. These business owners who purchase in bulk make up our wholesale customer base, and they receive special pricing for their loyalty and have a special ordering system. If you’d like to become a Peter Stone wholesaler, you can complete an application on our site, or call 1-800-397-8787 to speak to a customer service representative.

For those of you who love Peter Stone designs, but don’t have a reseller near you, we also offer our jewelry directly to our retail customers through our website. As a retail customer you’re exempt from the order minimums (which means you can purchase jewelry one piece at a time), but you pay the slightly higher retail price, because of the additional packing and handling expenses of small orders. We offer different promotions, different programs, and different newsletters to our retail and wholesale customers, so if you think you may be signed up on the wrong email list, please let us know!

What is Nebula? Peter Stone’s exclusive Nebula jewelry is a value-priced alternative to silver for today’s cost-conscious consumer! If Silver is the new Gold, then Nebula is the new Silver! Described as “wearable energy,” this patented new metal alloy is designed to aid it’s wearer in manifesting balance, clarity and prosperity. With all the beauty of Peter Stone’s designs, but at a much lower price than silver, Nebula is the future of affordable jewelry!

AND–For a limited time, we’re offering special promotional shipping for Nebula–domestic  flat-rate shipping starting at only $2.97!

When can I contact Customer Service? Peter Stone office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. EST. You can call us at 1-800-397-8787, or you can email salesmgr@peterstoneco.com. Our customer service team works diligently to respond to all requests as quickly as possible. Please be patient if you contact us after business hours, during the weekend, or on a holiday. We are a local office with a small, close-knit team, and we’ll get back to you as soon as we return to the office!

How should I pack my jewelry for mailing if I want to trade it in? Because the post office’s procedures are not designed to accommodate delicate jewelry, please be careful to ship your jewelry in a bubble mailer if you plan to trade it in, or are returning it for repair. Post office machinery can mangle jewelry, or can rip open regular envelopes, allowing your jewelry to slip out and disappear. Even worse, jewelry caught in postal machinery can cause injury to postal workers. Always remember to ship your jewelry safely!

Why did my jewelry arrive packed in a plastic bag? Peter Stone is implementing a gift box/bag option! Soon you’ll be able to choose from various gift packaging options for a small additional fee. Our standard procedure follows wholesale distributor shipping methods, which many retail customers may not be familiar with—but keep in mind that it helps us keep our costs down, so we can pass the savings on to you!

How can I protect my jewelry from normal wear and accidental damage? With the purchase of a Peter Stone protection plan, you can insure your jewelry against wear and tear, accidental damage, and lost gems for a lifetime. For a one-time fee, you can cover any Peter Stone jewelry piece, old or new-we’ll refurbish, repair, or replace lost parts for as long as you own the jewelry, and you can relax, knowing that your cherished jewelry will always remain as beautiful and meaningful as the day you bought it.

Custom pricing and plan options will automatically be offered whenever you add an item to your Peter Stone cart, so you can be sure you’re getting the correct plan for your jewelry!

WHOLESALE: Why is there an order minimum? We try to keep the minimum reasonable, because we know it can be difficult for smaller shops to meet high requirements… however, we do have to cover labor costs for someone to compile the orders and pack them for shipment. When you consider the very small margin of profit that we earn on our wholesale orders, you’ll understand why we have to require a minimum to keep our business running smoothly. Currently, we have a $100 minimum, but you CAN place smaller orders if you’re willing to pay a handling fee of $27. See all terms and conditions.

WHOLESALE: What is your drop shipping policy, how does it work, and how much does it cost? Peter Stone offers business owners the opportunity to sell Peter Stone Jewelry without placing large orders and carrying inventory with our Drop Ship Program. You can offer Peter Stone Jewelry for sale on your website and when your customer places an order, we will fill it and ship it directly to them!

You keep 35% of the retail price for each item you sell. If you sell over $500 of merchandise in one week your commission increases to 40% for that week. To learn more about this program and read the terms and conditions, visit our Drop Shipping page!

WHOLESALE: How can I see Wholesale pricing? With our new Wholesale Ordering System, you can see our wholesale pricing and REAL-TIME inventory levels, place your order ANY TIME, and view and track your order history.

Existing Wholesale customers can access our new Wholesale Website with their old email address and new password, which is your Peter Stone 5 digit account number plus the first 5 characters of your e-mail address. If you have trouble logging in please contact us at 1-800-397-8787 and we will make sure your account has access to our new ordering system.

We hope this will help make your holiday shopping a little smoother this year!

If you have a question that we haven’t answered, please let us know!

Happy Holidays from Peter Stone!

Earring Mania

While we here at Peter Stone enjoy jewelry of any sort, there’s something about earrings that makes them special… the balance of two matching designs, the elegance of tiny winking gemstones, the magic of a sparkling dangle.

Our beautiful earrings come in all shapes and sizes, in sterling silver, gemstone, or accented with 18 Kt. gold, so no matter whether you’re looking for a spark of intrigue or a hint of subdued style—we’ve got what you’re looking for somewhere in our many collections!

This week, Peter Stone explores the ancient roots of the earring by digging up some of the more interesting facts surrounding the origin and age-old journey of these oh-so-popular accessories, so read on—and learn a little something about your favorite pair of earrings!

Older than old

One of the earliest written references (1532 B.C.E.) to ear piercing can be found in the Bible, in Exodus 32:1-4. Aaron asks for the earrings of the sons and daughters of the Israelites.  Carved images of soldiers in the palace of ancient Persia depict the soldiers wearing earrings, another early reference from a concurrent time period.

Here and Gone

The wearing of earrings was trendy. Then it wasn’t. Then it was. The factors that influenced the popularity of earrings were many and varied—but were often tied to other cosmetic trends. For example, in the Middle Ages, the elaborate wigs, hats, and high collars that were in fashion had a tendency to screen the beauty of earrings. As fashions meandered from low necklines to high, and from swept-back chignons to wide bonnets, earrings faded in and out of social consciousness.

Sailing the Seven Seas

By 1900, earrings became a primarily female accessory, except in the sailing community, where ear piercings and earrings had special significance. A pierced earlobe often meant that the wearer had sailed around the world. Civilians who survived the sinking of a ship wore earrings in the left ear to advertise their near-miss. The acupunctural benefit was considered, as the puncture of the earlobe was believed to increase eyesight acuity, a valuable benefit at sea.

The sailors’ preference for elaborate, expensive gold earrings has its roots in ancient Grecian myth.  In the afterlife, the dead were ferried across the river Acheron by Charon, the ferryman—but only if they were able to pay in gold. Thus the inland practice of placing coins over the eyes of bodies during normal funerals. At sea, a sailor involved in a shipwreck or washed overboard was exceedingly unlikely to obtain a funeral, so the gold earring was a superstitious way for them to “pay their way” through to the afterlife. And for practical purposes, if the body did wash up on shore, whoever found them could use the earring to pay for a proper burial.

Why do YOU wear earrings?

Today, earrings are worn for a variety of reasons, not least of which is to display some personal meaning or belief. Even if the earrings you wear are nothing more than beautiful ornaments, they likely bring at least a smile to your face simply for their aesthetic value.

Peter Stone has an abundance of stunning earrings in an endless variety of themes, styles, and sizes, and we know that many of our customers cherish their Peter Stone earrings like faithful friends, imbued with memories and shining with joy and inspiration. Tell us why you wear the earrings you wear—we’d love to hear your stories!

What does your ring say about you?

You know why you chose the ringbeauty, meaning, style, symbolism, inspiration… the reasons are endless. But after you bought it, you made an equally important choice—where to wear it. Most of us don’t realize the complexity of the choice, but the truth is, where you wear your ring says as much about you as the ring itself.

In so many cases, we don’t think about that decision—it just happens. It seems right, somehow, to wear this ring on this finger. And though it seems nearly random, our subconscious is working furiously in the background to create just the right energy.

Peter Stone works just as hard to provide a vast array of beautiful, meaningful rings for you to choose from, in a wide variety of styles, designs, and themes. Today, we peek into the magical history of the ring to bring you this enlightening guide to ring placement—so that once you find the perfect Peter Stone ring, you can wear it perfectly, too.

Thumbs Up!

Large rings worn on the thumb symbolize a drive for power. On the dominant hand, a thumb ring indicates a need to change the world, and the power to achieve. On the passive hand, a thumb ring is a plea for energy and self-discipline to help you reach your goals.

Power Up! Whenever you have a specific goal you want to accomplish, wear a thin silver band on the thumb (silver channels higher guidance).

Check the Index

The index finger represents one’s self-reflection and self-esteem. Large rings with gemstones on the index finger show a desire for public recognition. Modest rings on the index finger, however, particularly on the passive hand, will boost your sense of self and reinforce your inner stature.

Show Off! A ring with flat or faceted sides on the index finger will draw recognition.

Moral in the Middle

The Middle finger is a repository for psychological boundaries and systems of morals, values, and lifestyles. A ring on this finger represents an effort to find your place, to define your role. The size of the ring denotes how important this is in your life.

Find Clarity! A clear, square-cut gem on the middle finger will help you achieve clarity and reinforce stability in your life.

Great Name!

The Ring finger is focused on attracting a mate. Wearing a wedding ring on this finger is a self-imposed ban on the need to display and attract the opposite sex. Any other ring on this finger represents a keen interest in public opinion and a need for drama and social kudos.

Marry me! Your wedding ring has a psychological side—wide rings indicate a strong sense of dependence, multiple thin bands represent a marriage that is total, but not limiting, and a spiral ring that doesn’t “close” shows an open philosophy of partnership.

Last but not Least

The little finger is associated with communication and quick wit. A large, broad ring on this finger symbolizes an inner desire to communicate on all levels. Multiple rings on the little finger can indicate an eagerness for new ideas and new perspectives.

Try this! A small, fine ring on the little finger of the passive hand can improve your verbal skills and your ability to express yourself and relate to others.

All or None?

What does it mean when you have rings on every finger? Or no rings at all?

We can answer that with our very  own Peter Stone wisdom:

Wearing many rings on various fingers of both hands indicates a passion for beautiful, meaningful Peter Stone jewelry!

And if you don’t have any rings on any of your fingers, that means you just haven’t found the perfect Peter Stone ring yet!

What are you waiting for? Find your ring today!

As a lover of gemstones, I know how powerful and evocative they can be in the right jewelry setting. That’s why, here at Peter Stone, we use only the highest quality gemstones in the most attractive designs. My two favorite stones are the Black Spinel and the Moonstone, and the qualities of these two natural gemstones make them an exceptional choice for inclusion in our 18 Kt.

The Unbroken Ring: Celtic Wedding Bands and Handfasting

The Wedding Band or Wedding Ring is symbolic of the unity of two people in marriage. The unbroken circle of the ring, without beginning or end, represents the eternal nature of the commitment being made. As a visual reminder of a promise of love and fidelity, the wedding band’s popularity has spanned continents and centuries, and continues to be an almost essential part of modern marriage ceremonies in countless cultures.
