What is sterling silver made of?
Sterling silver is an alloy composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals, typically copper. The addition of copper enhances the strength and durability of the silver, making it more suitable for jewelry and everyday items. Pure silver is too soft for most practical uses, so alloying it with a small amount of another metal helps maintain its beauty while increasing its functionality.
Composition: 92.5% silver, 7.5% copper (or other metals).
Durability: The alloying process enhances the strength and durability.
Use in Jewelry: Ideal for crafting a wide range of jewelry pieces due to its balance of beauty and durability.
