Sterling Silver HistoryExperts believe that silver alloy, used today as sterling silver, originated in continental Europe in the 12th century. Pure silver was found to be a soft and easily damageable material. When combined with other metals, most commonly cooper, it produced a tougher material that could be heavily relied on. Throughout the next few centuries, sterling silver was used as currency and for household items. It was often used as silverware and became the material used in a proper table setting between 1840 and 1940 throughout the United States and Europe. Because of this popularity, silver companies began to grow. During this craze, companies began to experiment using sterling silver compositions in jewelry, as it was a material that was easy to mold into intricate designs and gave a luxurious look with its metallic finish. Today, sterling silver is widely used in all kinds of jewelry styles and shines as beautifully as other precious metals, with the benefit of affordable pricing.Sterling Silver CompositionWhile pure silver can be combined with many different types of metals, sterling silver is created when combining pure silver with copper. Sterling silver jewelry can be composed with different amounts of copper but is most often seen with the .925 stamp, meaning that the composition is of 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper. This has been found to be a good combination for maintaining the silver's durability without harming its sparkle.Caring for Your Sterling Silver JewelrySilver should not come into contact with harsh household chemicals such as bleach, ammonia, or chlorine. To avoid scratches, store silver in a lined jewelry box or pouch, as it is prone to tarnish as it naturally reacts with sulfur or hydrogen sulfide in the air. Cleaning and wearing silver jewelry regularly will prevent this and help maintain its shine. Immediately upon noticing any discoloration, use a gentle polish made specifically for removing tarnish.

Beautiful symbol of courage
I ordered this pendant when I was looking for a meaningful symbol to wear. It is somewhat small, about 1/2 in diameter, but well worth the money. It has a heavy look and feel and the heavy border and beading around the fleur de lis give it an antique look. Yes, the chain is somewhat fragile, but it would add a lot to the cost of the pendant to add a heavier chain. I prefer to think of the chain as a bonus item. The bail on the pendant is larger and heavier than a jump ring and it makes the piece look nicely finished. I would just add a heavier chain or cord to wear it everyday. Very pleased with my purchase.

Perfect size and great craftsmanship. Love it.Update: the pendant is great quality and has stood up well. However, I was very disappointed that the chain broke only six or seven months after I bought this necklace. It just fell off one day because one of the links broke. High quality pendant but you may want to invest in a quality chain or risk losing it.

An Inspiration
For someone who is either a fan of Churchill, or simply needs the inspiration his words on this pendant give (or both, like me!), this charm is wonderful. It is great quality--beautiful, actually--and the inscription on the reverse side is extremely clear and easy to read, despite the overall delicacy of the pendant. I love wearing it, and I think it would make an excellent gift.

Delicate but lovely
Many people are unhappy with the size - it is small. It is a tiny bit (2/16th's of an inch) wider than half an inch and from the top of the OVAL to the bottom, it is half an inch. Get a ruler and look at the size you will get before you order. If you place your pinky over this sideways you can cover it. The chain is very delicate. But this is not cheap jewelry, quite the contrary. For the size the piece is solid and as other reviewer's have said - the inscription on the back is clear and etched in very well. If you are looking for statement jewelry - this is NOT it. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a small piece of jewelry that when you touch, reminds you of the poignant words on the back - this is for you. I think it would make a lovely gift for someone who loves silver and is touched by words that carry meaning.

It must be cut with a cheaper metal, or ...
It must be cut with a cheaper metal, or perhaps the chain is cheap metal, because the necklace causes a rash on my neck. Sterling silver doesn't make my skin turn red and itch.

Nice Pendant, Flimsy Clasp on the Chain
It's pretty.UPDATE: The first time I tried to wear it, the clasp broke off the chain.No, I wouldn't recommend it, unless you will be using a different chain or cord.

Beautiful Sterling Silver Pendant and Chain
This is the prettiest and shiniest chain and pendant I have ever worn. I wear it all of the time and it does not get tarnished or change color. The sentiment inscribed on the back of the pendant is what drew it to me as well as the fleur-de-lis on the front. Well worth the money.

excellent necklace
Very good quality. Thus far, I have not had any problems with the chain as many others have stated. The inscription is very clear, and the charm is just the right heaviness. I bought one for myself and one as a gift.
