Knowing More about STERLING SILVER Pure silver, also known as fine silver, is relatively soft, very malleable, and easily damaged. Because of this, it is commonly combined with other metals to produce a more durable product. The most popular of these alloys is sterling silver, which consists of 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent copper. Although any metal can make up the 7.5 percent non-silver portion of sterling, centuries of experimentation have shown copper to best complement it. Copper improves the metal's hardness and durability without affecting its beautiful color. The small amount of copper added to sterling has very little effect on the metal's value. The price of a silver item instead lies on the labor involved in its creation, the intricacy of its design and the skill of the craftsperson.
Silver Alloy Because pure silver is so soft, it should only be used when malleability is required. Such is the case in handcrafted jewelry featuring weaving and other intricate designs.
Sterling silver is used most often for jewelry and household accessories because of its combination of beauty and durability. Acceptable quality markings for sterling silver include: *Sterling *Sterling silver *Ster *.925
CARING FOR YOUR SILVER With proper care, your fine quality silver will last a lifetime. To minimize scratches and other damage, store your silver jewelry either in a cloth pouch or in a separate compartment in your jewelry box. Avoid exposing your silver to household chemicals, especially when cleaning using bleach or ammonia or when swimming in chlorinated water, as these chemicals can damage silver.
CLEAN YOUR SILVER REGULARLY Care should also be taken to prevent the build-up of tarnish on your silver items. Tarnishing is the dulling of color that naturally occurs when silver reacts with sulfur or hydrogen sulfide in the ambient air. To clean your silver, use polishes formulated specifically to remove tarnish. You can find fine silver polishes, solutions, or cloths appropriate to remove tarnish at most hardware stores or specialty craft stores. Tarnish is most easily removed when it first becomes visible. Although wearing your silver jewelry is often the best way to prevent tarnish from building up, regular cleaning of all your silver items will prevent tarnish and keep your silver bright and sparkling. Always be sure to look for the fineness mark and the maker's mark on the underside of the silver item you are considering to buy to ensure its quality.
