Silver Necklaces

A silver chain necklace from Noir KĀLA is a designed object. Not a commodity. Each sterling silver chain necklace is cast in 925 sterling silver, an alloy of 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% other metals, primarily copper, and is hypoallergenic, structurally sound, and suited to sensitive skin. Each silver necklace chain is selected for proportion and tactile weight, worn solo or as the foundation for a sculptural pendant, and handcrafted through long-standing relationships with skilled makers in Rajasthan, India.

Each sterling silver necklace in this collection is built around a motif with documented cross-cultural weight: a sword, a serpent, an ankh, a sun. These are 925 sterling silver necklaces, an alloy of 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% other metals, primarily copper, chosen for its structural integrity and cool luminous finish. Hypoallergenic and handcrafted in small batches through long-standing relationships with skilled makers in Rajasthan, India, each piece is designed in Montreal as a symbolic object, form and material working as one.

 

Questions fréquemment posées

The 925 marking indicates alloy composition: 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% other metals, primarily copper. Pure silver is too malleable for jewellery construction; the added metals provide the structural integrity a wearable piece requires without altering the material's essential character. When present on a 925 sterling silver necklace, the stamp confirms this composition. Not all small or intricately constructed pieces carry the stamp, but its absence does not indicate the piece is not genuine 925 sterling silver.

Yes. 925 sterling silver necklaces are hypoallergenic. The alloy is 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% other metals, primarily copper; it does not contain nickel, the most common contact allergen in fashion jewellery. Hypoallergenic means designed to minimize the likelihood of a skin reaction, not that reactions are impossible for every wearer. For those choosing between materials: Noir KĀLA's brass pieces are nickel-free but not hypoallergenic. The hypoallergenic property applies specifically to 925 sterling silver.

The 925 marking indicates the piece is 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% other metals, primarily copper. This is the widely recognized standard for jewelry-grade silver. Pure silver is too soft for fine chain construction and pendant settings; the copper content provides the structural integrity a wearable piece requires. 925 sterling silver is hypoallergenic and suitable for those with sensitive skin. When present on a piece, the 925 stamp confirms this composition; not all small or intricately constructed pieces carry it.

Vary chain lengths so each piece sits at a distinct level, typically two to four centimetres apart. Pairing chains of different weights or link constructions prevents them from lying flat against each other. For Noir KĀLA pieces, layering a silver chain necklace with a sculptural pendant creates contrast; a second silver necklace chain at a different length builds the stack. Store necklaces separately to preserve chain integrity. For full care guidance, see the Noir KĀLA Maintenance Guide.
