What is the difference between Sterling Silver and Monel Silver?

Monel Silver has the appearance of sterling silver with a bright white gold like hue, but the similarities end there. Unlike sterling silver, it does not tarnish, corrode or require ongoing polishing. It retains its shine through everyday wear and actually develops a richer lustre over time.

Belle Fever’s Monel Silver is strong, non-flexible and exceptionally durable, comparable in strength to titanium. It is not the same as industrial Monel alloys. Belle Fever uses its own jewellery grade formulation that is 100% hypoallergenic, ensuring no skin irritation, discolouration or allergic reactions.

The Advantages of Monel Silver

  • Monel Silver offers greater long term satisfaction than traditional Sterling Silver.
  • Safe to wear in the shower or during daily activities without worry of tarnishing.
  • Resistant to sweat, water, body oils, and everyday contact, making it ideal for beach trips and workouts.
  • Maintains its bright shine without the dullness or darkening associated with sterling silver.
  • No cleaning, polishing or special maintenance required.
  • Safe around makeup and hairspray, maintaining its finish without damage.
  • The shine of Monel Silver continues to improve naturally with consistent wear.
