Sterling silver is one of the most common types of jewelry that we purchase. It’s no wonder that we all love sterling silver jewelry. Not only does it sparkle and shine, it enhances the gems, trinkets, and charms that it surrounds. Sterling silver is a precious metal that is highly prized for its shine and natural beauty. At an affordable price, sterling silver is sought around the world for being brilliant, luxurious, and very affordable. It is found in nature and not created by a lab. Silver can be used over other metals to give it more sheen, value, and to even protect the skin from rashes causes by jewelry made of other metals. There are many uses for sterling silver.

Sterling silver has to meet a standard of having a minimum millesimal fineness of 925. It is an alloy of 92.5% silver (by weight) and 7.5% of other metals such as copper (by weight). The copper adds strength as fine silver is too soft for use. The copper also enhances the beauty, durability, and life of this precious metal.

Now that you know the technical and composition details of sterling silver, you’ll love your sterling silver even more. Maybe you already love it so much that you didn’t need to know all the science behind the silver. Regardless, just know that you’re not alone in valuing sterling silver jewelry.
