Materials & Quality
Is your jewelry made from real sterling silver?
Yes, all Egypt Shine pieces are crafted from 925 sterling silver. Product materials are listed on each product page, so we recommend checking the description before placing your order.

925 sterling silver means the metal contains 92.5% pure silver, mixed with other metals to improve strength and durability. It is one of the most widely used precious metals for fine silver jewelry.

Sizes & Fit
How do I choose the right necklace length?
The right necklace length depends on your style and how you prefer the piece to sit. Shorter chains usually sit higher on the chest, while longer chains create a more relaxed look.

Can I wear sterling silver jewelry in water?
We recommend removing your jewelry before showering, swimming, exercising, or using cleaning products. Water, sweat, chlorine, and chemicals can affect the shine and condition of sterling silver over time.
