What is Sterling Silver?

  • Sterling Silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% of pure silver and 7.5% of other metals (usually copper). The minimum millesimal fineness is 925. 

Why don’t we use Find Silver 99.9% for an ornament?

  • Fine silver (99.9% pure) is generally too soft for producing the large functional objects (like an ornament).
  • In 925 sterling silver is usually alloyed with copper to give the strength whilst preserving the ductility of the silver and a high precious metal content. If you preferred ornament is Sterling Silver, don’t miss to browse the variety designs of Sterling Silver that we supply and please do not hesitate to let us know if you found any interested item on our site.
