Let’s Talk About Sterling Silver: Our First-Ever Silver Piece Has Arrived

We’re thrilled to share something completely new for us: our very first sterling silver design, the Alma Victorian Lover's Knot Ring. A piece that blends history, sentiment, and modern design—we couldn't be more excited to share it with you.

In this post, we’re diving into everything you need to know about sterling silver jewelry—why we chose to introduce it, how it compares to white gold, what makes silver special, and how to care for your pieces so they stay stunning for years to come.

Meet the Alma Knot Ring—

Inspired by Victorian-era symbolism, the Alma Knot Ring is our modern take on the lover’s knot—a timeless emblem of connection and enduring love. During the Victorian period, jewelry was filled with meaning, and motifs like knots, swallows, and forget-me-nots were used as quiet declarations of loyalty, remembrance, and affection.

The lover’s knot, with its endless loops and no clear beginning or end, represents an eternal bond—two lives woven together. We’ve reimagined that rich history into a piece that feels effortlessly modern and emotionally resonant. Whether gifted as a promise ring, a keepsake between mother and daughter, or a token of lasting friendship, the Alma Knot Ring is designed to honor meaningful connection.

Now available in sterling silver or 14k yellow gold, it’s an heirloom in the making—wearable for every day, but deeply rooted in something more.

Why We’re Embracing Sterling Silver

Launching our first sterling silver piece wasn’t just about aesthetics—it was about intention. Silver felt like the right next step: a historically rich, beautifully versatile material that aligns with the Alma Ring’s roots in Victorian design.

“Introducing sterling silver with this new design felt like embracing a new kind of versatility. It’s a timeless material with its own effortless, everyday energy. For the Alma ring—rooted in Victorian tradition—silver offers a subtle, modern update that feels both classic and wearable. Available in sterling silver or 14k yellow gold, it gives you the choice to wear this meaningful piece in the way that fits you best.”

– Jillian Sassone, Founder & Designer

Here’s why we love silver:

It’s timeless. Silver has been used in fine jewelry for centuries, beloved for its soft glow and symbolic nature.
It’s accessible. As a more affordable alternative to gold, sterling silver offers a luxurious look without the luxury price tag.
It’s easy to wear. With its cooler tone and understated shine, silver complements everything—stack it with gold, wear it solo, or pair it with stones.
It’s personal. Silver develops a unique patina over time, telling the story of how it's been worn and loved.

Sterling Silver vs. White Gold: What’s the Difference?

At first glance, sterling silver and white gold may look similar—but they have distinct characteristics that make them unique.

Sterling silver has a soft, luminous glow and a long history as one of the most beloved metals in jewelry. It’s approachable, easy to wear, and develops a subtle patina over time, one that adds depth and character. We love silver for its quiet elegance and the way it fits effortlessly into both everyday and elevated moments.

White gold, by contrast, is a bit more structured. It’s created by combining pure gold with white metals, and typically finished with a rhodium plating for added shine and strength. It has a bright, high-polish look that holds up beautifully, though it may need occasional replating to maintain that crisp finish. Both are timeless. Both are beautiful. The choice comes down to what speaks to your personal style - and how you want your jewelry to feel. With the right care, both metals are designed to last a lifetime.

Both are beautiful and timeless. Choosing between them comes down to your personal style and how you like your jewelry to feel. Silver brings a quiet elegance and soft radiance that’s perfect for everyday wear—especially in a design as meaningful as the Alma Knot Ring.

How to Care for Sterling Silver Jewelry

Like all fine jewelry, sterling silver needs a little love to keep it looking its best. The good news? It’s low maintenance with just a few simple habits:

Wear it often: Daily wear actually helps prevent tarnish by keeping the silver in contact with your skin’s natural oils.
Avoid chemicals: Take your silver jewelry off before swimming, cleaning, or applying lotion or perfume. Harsh chemicals and moisture can dull its shine.
Store it smartly: Keep your pieces in a dry, airtight container or a soft pouch when not in use. Less exposure to air = less oxidation.
Polish gently: Use a soft polishing cloth or silver-specific cleaner when needed. Don’t overdo it—gentle polishing goes a long way.

And don’t forget—we offer one complimentary cleaning for your silver piece post-purchase. Reach out to us anytime to book a care appointment. We’re always here to help your jewelry stay as beautiful as the day you got it.

We’re excited to share our first-ever sterling silver piece with you. Whether it becomes part of your everyday stack or a meaningful gift, we hope it brings as much beauty and symbolism to your story as it holds in ours.
