LEO ZODIAC DISC | SILVER

Those born the July 21st to August 22nd, under the sign of Leo, the Lion sign, are known for their natural leadership abilities.

They possess qualities such as creativity, self confidence, and a strong presence that is hard to resist. Leos are capable of achieving anything they set their minds to in all aspects of their lives. The strength of a Leo lies in their "king of the jungle" status. They are typically generous and loyal, which enables them to have many friends.

This solid sterling silver disc reminiscent of an old-world coin, will glimmer and shine in the light, while always having a special meaning to those who wear it.

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-plated 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.
