Frequently Asked Questions

Is Renata Rubio sterling silver jewelry handmade or mass produced?

Every piece of Renata Rubio sterling silver jewelry is individually handcrafted by skilled artisans. We never mass-produce. Our designs emphasize quality, heritage, and uniqueness—each item is made with intention and care using genuine sterling silver and natural turquoise.

What is the difference between silver jewelry and sterling silver jewelry?

Sterling silver jewelry is made of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper, which is the global standard required to be called “sterling silver.” Anything below that is simply silver-plated or of lower quality. At Renata Rubio 92.5, every piece is made from genuine sterling silver—never plated or coated. It’s real, high-end silver jewelry, and the “92.5” in our name is a promise of that quality.

Will my jewelry tarnish? Or is it coated with rhodium to prevent tarnishing?

Sterling silver naturally tarnishes over time when exposed to air, moisture, and everyday elements—but that’s completely normal and reversible. At Renata Rubio 92.5, we do not coat our jewelry with rhodium. While rhodium can prevent tarnish temporarily, it wears off and can make repairs difficult or impossible later on.

Instead, we use solid sterling silver (92.5% pure silver) that can be easily cleaned and polished to restore its shine. This gives you a beautiful, long-lasting piece of jewelry that’s truly yours—for life, not just for now.||Are the posts and hooks on the earrings real sterling too?|Yes! Our earrings are made entirely from solid 92.5% sterling silver—including the posts and hooks. We don’t use plated or base metals, so you’re getting the real thing through and through. This makes our jewelry hypoallergenic and ideal for sensitive ears.

Is your lifetime warranty really for life?  What if I buy a bracelet and years from now I give it to my sister, and then it breaks?

Yes—our lifetime warranty really is for life. We craft our sterling silver jewelry to the highest quality standards, and we proudly stand behind it. If a bracelet breaks years from now, no matter who owns it—whether it's your sister, daughter, or granddaughter—we will repair or replace it at no charge. When you purchase from us, you're investing in lasting quality and our full support for generations.
