Some information about Nicole Barr jewelry –

They use hard fired vitreous enamel for most of the jewelry whether 925 silver or 18k gold. Fired enamel is powdered glass that has been fired in a kiln at temperatures up to 1450°F which melts the glass into a liquid. As it cools, it becomes a solid piece of color, like the panes in a stained glass window which never change color or fade. Jewelers like Faberge and Lalique use vitreous enamel. NOTE:  This listing is for the pendant ONLY – photo shows matching earrings they need to be special ordered.

Rhodium is a precious hard metal in the platinum family of metals. It’s used by fine jewelers to plate sterling silver, as it prevents tarnishing and provides a bright reflective finish.  All Nicole Barr jewelry with a white metal finish is  rhodium plated.

The sterling silver used meets the  current standards for nickel content as set by the FTC so it shouldn’t give any issues as some alloys used in sterling silver have been known to do.
