GROUSE

Grouse mountain lies on the North shore mountains of Vancouver, Canada.

Home to wildlife, a Skyride to the top, zip lining, winter skiing and a Grizzly bear habitat. It’s an accessible mountain with close proximity to the city.

The North shore mountains are a world-famous mecca for mountain biking and trail running races, like the aptly-named Knee-knacker.

One of those mountains, Grouse mountain, is home to the renowned and gruelling Grouse Grind.

Often referred to as “nature’s stair master”, the Grouse Grind consists of a set of 4545 stairs that go from bottom to top of the mountain.

Not for the faint of heart!

Paying homage to this emerald green mountain range that sits on the edge of the Pacific ocean, these 14k gold over solid sterling studs hold a simple mountain range within their gold circles.

We at Shorewood Jewelry believe in quality and because every piece is made of solid 925 sterling silver as it’s base metal (including 14k gold over sterling), we can genuinely call it fine jewelry.

Real Sterling (whether plated or not) can be worn for years, without turning the skin a green tinge, such as with brass. As well, unlike brass, sterling silver is hypoallergenic.

Although swimming in the salty ocean or a chlorinated pool is not recommended because the salt can ultimately corrode the silver, you can shower in clean water every day with sterling silver.

That said, although considered a precious metal, one of the biggest things to be mindful of when it comes to sterling silver is that it is composed of a soft metal.

Yes, although it’s precious, sterling is soft!

It is definitely more bendable and pliable than for
instance, stainless steel, which is a hard metal.

So remember to be mindful of 2 things:

1. Be aware of the chain on your neck when quickly pulling a sweater over your head, or it could cause the chain to break!

2. Be aware to be gentle with the post on your stud or hoop earrings. Although the posts can be moved, as sometimes they bend slightly and need to be straightened, remember to do it smoothly and gently, with fingers held firmly on the whole post, as you move it into place.
